Freewing 64mm F-16C Falcon Overiew & Assembly | Motion RC

[@Strigon01]

As much as I love the F16, I feel like it's on the market from many other RC companies too often. There are other fighter jets out there besides the Viper. :D

[@evoman44]

I know what you mean. It's not exactly a unique offering. A better option that would actually be unique would had been a Saab Viggen. It would had been more ideal for a delta setup and thrust reverser since the real thing has them.

[@Strigon01]

@@evoman44 I agree

[@sanexup1038]

I have one on the way to me. The 64mm are super fun! I might have to get one for my buddy to get into EDFs. Formation flying with lower consequences!

[@RaGeRC]

I ordered one the moment I got the email about it! Should be coming in today actually

[@davidsnyder238]

Nice 64 offering. Im sure it will be a rocket!

[@Minutemman]

y'all just LITTERALLY answered my prayers

[@airhammer6203]

Roar'in 64'in :). Looks nice James. AirHammer out!!

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Oh yeah. Niccccce James. 👊👍😎

[@rchobbyandmoreeverydayisagift]

I love this plane! I flew my maiden and at first I thought it was very touchy on the rolls (flying at first with a bit more expo fixed this) and the more I flew it I quickly grew to like its tendency to want to roll since its got an elevon setup and both front and rear surface controls working mechanically together. Its fast, handles nice, you can high alpha it, looks awesome in the air! Also - it comes with an ESC that's got reverse thrust!! Now I gotta remind myself that its available when I'm landing!! ha! For the price its really nice!

[@dutchloveRC]

now UR just Showin Off!!! lol

[@215cyclone]

James ! You wore the wrong shirt today lol

[@aerospacematt9147]

You know, the one complaint I have with this is that with other Freewing 64s (F/A-18E, F-22) they have all moving stabilators, but this one doesn’t. I wish it did! That’s my only complaint, good job on this one!

[@scottvertz9912]

My issue is the all glue assembly. One iffy landing and a wing gets caught and it's done. Potentially ruining the fuselage but I'm of the type that likes modular design where everything can be replaced if broken. To an extent anyway.

[@Geographydude337]

Does it come with a control this will be my first rc jet and I don't know anything

[@GameOutdoorsAndMore]

Alright, if I got this and used a four channel transmitter and receiver would I be able to not use the reverse thrust? Like is that an option???

[@karangaglani5854]

hmm i might just have to add an afterburner to this lol

[@bobg1443]

Can you take off the landing gear and hand launch it? Will the lower fins rip off with a landing without the landing gear?

[@aerospacematt9147]

It appears to me that the ventrals are only screwed on so if you choose to hand launch it it would be wise to remove them. I doubt it’ll take much to scuff up on a belly landing

[@MotionRC]

Flew it yesterday with the lower fins and belly landed it out in the grass without damage. I will recommend getting the nose up and slowing it down for landing with the fins. But as aerospace Matt said you could always unscrew them

[@bobg1443]

@@MotionRC Thanks, I was worried about losing some lateral stability without the fins.

[@Cossack_Cobra]

Hey! So, I was wondering if it's possible to install a rudder on my 64 mm f22.

[@scottwells7797]

Looks really nice.... Can we hand launch

[@MotionRC]

definitely. we will video it as soon as we can. This one arrived earlier than we expected

[@Therberg2500]

Hi, Does this model have room to fit a Caddx Vista FPV system in it?

[@-2772-]

good for 70mm on 6s

[@tructran8783]

Good for 64mm 6s 😀

[@scottvertz9912]

Those clasps are very hard to thread on I had to use pliers and made me worried about breaking something.

[@just1017]

I cannot for the life of me figure out the wiring to the transmitter and whole set up can anyone help?

[@evoman44]

This model looks appealing for it's simplicity and affordability. However it's simplicity does not fit the F-16 well. An elevon setup would had been more ideal on a true delta wing like an F-106 or a Saab Viggen which actually happens to have a thrust reverser. Plus either of those would have been a unique offering than the usual F-16 that just about every RC company has in their lineup.

[@reesenelson9665]

The roll rate will be good when both the elevator and the aileron move up but it doesn't look right when you give up elevator and the ailerons both go up as well. Did I miss something?

[@williamwallace9427]

I find with admiral 4S 2200 battery pushed as far back as it will go it’s just a tad nose heavy in reference to the recommended cg on the wings. Anyone had to add weight to tail or does it fly well like this?

[@motocruiserman9675]

looking at this video it is clear to me that it is really not a PNP model. It is more like ARF because of all the parts that needs to be put together. The price is good but for me it feels like there are too many things that can go wrong since it needs wireing and glueing. I wish more parts would have been prepared.

[@MotionRC]

An arf would come with no electronics. This is a standard PNP.

[@motocruiserman9675]

Ok, I am sorry for getting it wrong then. Does all PNP models require rudder and flap installation and wirering?

[@MotionRC]

@@motocruiserman9675 Yes. Not many RC aircraft can fit in the box with the wings/vertical stabs/horizonal stabs attached. Some semblance of glue/screws will be required to assemble a model and plugging in wires is par for the course as by definition of PNP (plug n play) is no receiver is included. You provide your own receiver that works with your own transmitter and have to hook it up.

[@motocruiserman9675]

@@MotionRC Ok thank again for your time.

[@garrywythe1854]

What's the best battery?

[@kiefer223]

Hi

[@SebastianGaiewski]

does it come with a controller?????

[@MotionRC]

No it doesn’t only the model. You will need a transmitter, receiver, battery, and charger to complete this model.

[@Hidde-dx3xw]

Does it Com with controller

[@MotionRC]

It does not no. This is a PNP model. PNP means plug and play and any model designated as this you will need to provide your own receiver and transmitter.

[@Hidde-dx3xw]

@@MotionRC oké thx

[@davenielsen2356]

How do I set up the gyro if this doesn't have an elevator.

[@MotionRC]

you will use the elevon setting on the gyro itself (admiral or hobby eagle has the option). Then you don't need to use the elevon setting in the transmitter as the gyro will do the mix.

[@paullepine4765]

@@MotionRC Radiolink do a 'Byme D' for a flying wing. I take it this would be suitable for this model?

[@brian1740]

sorry but why all glue assembly?????? and why not full flying stabes like the 64mm f22???

[@MACE1-1]

With technology being what it is why not put a survey out to ask what consumers would like in a 64mm f-16…? Seems like that thought never crosses a manufacturer’s mind….

[@evoman44]

Because this is supposed to be a basic affordable model. If not even the 70mm model doesn't have them then that should tell you how complex and costly it is to do on the F-16.

[@henryairconcepts2999]

It sucks that it’s not designed for belly landing.

[@MotionRC]

Check out our flight video it can be belly landed

[@MACE1-1]

Lots of room for improvement for Motion RC….seems like almost every manufacture is behind the times by 3-5 years ….

[@taylorho559]

I don't like this 64mm.
