FREEWING F-18 90MM Grass OPS, Afterbruners & Upgrades By: RCINFORMER

[@mikessi]

Beautiful grass touch and goes. I put the tray in both my gray and blue one. Works very well and easy to do.

[@vanderheijden1]

Thanks Rich! Great flight. Most RC airfields worldwide have grass runways and that’s why I love this video so much! Enough power and a relatively quick V1 (rotation). Awesome.

[@RCINFORMER]

Thanks Louis! More landings in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZm8dmd8p9Siarc

I'm looking at getting this jet what minimum battery size do you recommend

[@RCINFORMER]

@@stevejamelskyj5761 The Admiral 5000 is perfect. However, you can go bigger.

[@brianroberts5062]

I noticed that you did the CG balance check with the gear down. How much different is the CG point with the gear up given the retract rearwards? I will get a battery tray from Dustan. I fly grass only, no hard tarmac where I am located.

[@mckaylundtuttle7962]

Your v1 video on the freewing f-18 has been my favorite!

[@RCINFORMER]

This is the V1 .... with upgrades:)

[@jattle]

Hi, I got a quick question. I recently bought the freewing f-18 but it´s not good with the stock settings. Can you tell me on how much mm the CG is in your flight? I put it back as far as I could to improve the flights.

[@gooniac33]

Great stuff always Rich!!! The burner looks great in there and the grass ops were pretty impressive too!

[@RCINFORMER]

I just launched this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZm8dmd8p9Siarc

I use his burners on several of my jets and they really look nice in flight. Real easy to install and the pricing is excellent as well.

[@RCINFORMER]

Ray makes a nice Centerburner! I will be putting them in more Models soon.... Stay Tuned!

[@M4rkmcc21]

How much does this battery tray mod cost?

[@brucebeamer2298]

Will try the cog, mine measure alittle back. Rather nose heavy then not. I put an 80mm in for a slower flight. Hopefully it's enough. Great flight as always 👍

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Sweet flying RICH. IV GOT THE FIREY BOOTEY IN MY VIPER. GOONIAC IS A GREAT GUY. NICE CAMERA WORK STEVE. 😉👍👍😎

[@bekkerthesokuangeldragon68]

How do yo uadd the afterburner lights in the exhaust nozzles ( Whatever the back of theexhaust vents are called ) I know it's battery powered but i like to call those back exhaust nozzles cuz why not?

[@RCINFORMER]

Have a look on Facebook for “Gooniacs RC EDF Creations” as he hand makes these to order-basically a 3-D printed cone that fits on the back of the motor with a light attached and wiring to suit aircraft with a controller unit so that the light comes on at the appropriate time.

[@mikepi660]

You are the MAN Rich,, thanks for all,,,,

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Rich. Very good! Looks like it would be a great high alpha machine. Love all the accessories and mods you have on it. 👍👍

[@trullmann]

Nice job! Looks like a pretty fast 90mm EDF!

[@RCINFORMER]

Also, This is the stock V1 fan! I'll bet its really fast on the new V2 fan:)

[@trullmann]

@@RCINFORMER Rich, I thought this was the high performance version until I watched that second video last night flying with the 6000 pack! I'm thinking you need to get that new high-performance version and do a side-by-side in Flight comparison!

[@winnerwolf9546]

It's an awesome jet only thing I don't like is it's a vacumn cleaner not motions fault it needs the cheater but bounce a pebble with the front gear buh bye fan I might try some bug screen on the vent I've done it on other jets prone to this and I did it to my 262 have you ever tried it?

[@RCINFORMER]

Never used bug screen... it may be to restricting.

[@winnerwolf9546]

@@RCINFORMER it's not noticable give it a shot on the 262 I used it on the side intakes I used it on the freewing f86 and intruder worked like a charm

[@winnerwolf9546]

Bottom cheaters only

[@WarbirdFan66]

i would really worry about the gear doors on grass, one hard landing and they are gone unless you land on a golf course

[@RCINFORMER]

Not worried. I may loose a door with a hard landing but i got Foam-Tac:)

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Love all the mods buddy, Dustin does a great job, and Rays afterburners are a great addition to any jet, thanks for the great video Rich👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼🔥🔥

Nice jet

Just need some smoke and your set!

[@RCINFORMER]

A smoke system would be sweet!

[@roccoc6237]

5 day old grass? LOL

[@ronaldmcgillis2455]

I want one

[@dbirds21]

Im not liking my f18 at all. It feels heavy on sticks and lethargic. I moved cg back to 105mm which is somewhat better but its just slow on the sticks. Not very responsive. Any ideas. I use graupner gyro with mz 32 radio. Its the only jet that feels like this. where do you center your neutral flap position. Where is your cg

[@EDF_FANatic]

Have you calibrated the esc? Something is not right. This is the most responsive jet I've had.

[@eliocarballo1830]

All those piece of garbage are bad for grass. This guy shows only convenient videos. My was very bad for grass take off
