This NEW F-16 is INCREDIBLE... With 2 Flaws - Freewing F-16 90mm v2 Review

[@RaGeRC]

Bravo!! Well done as always 👏👏🫡🫡. I've been using your setup techniques for a while now, and while I don't carbon copy your particular setup, I tailor it to my liking and it makes a world of a difference on how these models fly. I did a similar setup to my Freewing F16 V2 and this thing does fly insanely amazing for the weight it carries! Thanks again for all you do to share your knowledge with us!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thank YOU, dude! 🧡Supportive comments like yours and seeing how much fun you're having with our recommendations really makes this worthwhile.

[@ElJefe08]

I purchased this Plane and Mods that you recommended solely based on your video and credibility. I’m coming back to the sport after a 10yr hiatus, your video motivated me to get back into it. Thanks!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Definitely wouldn't recommend jumping right into this jet after a ten year break. It's a tricky jet to fly if you're not used to flying on a consistent basis. Definitely consider hopping on Discord via https //discord.gg/twobrosrc and we'll be happy to help you out.

Hallo Jon, deine Videos und Erklärungen sind für uns Piloten sehr viel Wert und bringen Mut und Experimentierfreude in das Hobby. Ich bin genau deiner Meinung und auf das Video E-Flite F-16 80mm 6S vs. Freewing F-16 90mmm V2 (8S) gespannt! Ich habe meine Freewing 90mm V2 genau mit deinen AS3X+ Werten eingestellt und werde so den Erstflug machen. Natürlich mit 3-Stufen-Schalter: aus-an-halten. Du siehst, ich vertraue dir! ...und übernehme natürlich die Verantwortung selbst, das ist ja klar. Ich kenne mich mit F-16 Jets aus. Aber deine Eingaben sind auch für geübte Piloten sehr interessant.

[@robbender2872]

Awesome review Jon! I'm loving mine! Been waiting for your review on this one!

Nice vid. Thanks for walking through you thought process and setup. 16:40 👀. Well that’s is 180 change. MRC have been good to you so I get it.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Motion sent us one jet one time - very considerate of them, but it's just a business transaction. We helped them promote a plane, and might help them promote others in the future. The reason we don't recommend buying it from RC Castle is because you're paying nearly full price AND $200 for shipping to the US. Just doesn't make any sense unless you've got a case of perpetual butthurt for some reason lol

[@friedlhochhaeuser6707]

Great report, thank you very much!

[@Whuckfisle]

18:53 just a word of caution to anybody that attempts this mod, I put a hole through my airplane on both sides cutting the foam out for the wooden stringers. The foam is thinner than a quarter of an inch up towards the existing battery tray. I fixed it with a bit of spackle and paint but just FYI

[@TwoBrosRC]

Yup, definitely gotta be careful!

[@polyscient]

I used 1/8" thick basswood and made the deck level with the front battery tray, so my stringers were 1/4" total depth of Styrofoam removed. I did go a little too deep on the front on one side but if you're more careful than I was, it's even possible to finish the mod with a level deck without breaking through. Mine was barely a slice, easy fix

[@joosttromp]

Love your videos and your style Jon, your opinion on a plane is very important to me, and very enjoyable to watch.

Can't win 'em all, sorry! The grass at this airport will most likely never be friendly to flying jets, so we'll have to stick to pavement.

[@jasonpeloquin9950]

Love the channel and the reviews! Its my first go to when considering new jets. In your opinion, if you have flown a decent amount of 64mm and 70mm edf jets, including some tricky ones like the F8 Crusader with high wing loading and anemic power, what would you choose for an intro to the 90mm class outside of a Viper sport plane? Would you go F-16 or F-22? Or another option? Thanks!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Definitely would stick with the Viper airframe as a trainer for larger or more complex jets.

[@interceptorqc7534]

I have the eflite f-16 80mm! I know you will make a video to compare with the freewing f-16 v2 90mm. Can you tell mee in 6s wich one has better power and vertical? Thanks

Daaaaamn!!! I have the Eflite Tbird F16, my first EDF and still my favorite fun to fly....flyer. Just so light and agile. I have the Elite 80mm. Much different plane but...much more scale in some ways and...I love the real paint job. Got the LF - Luke Air Force Base and the 56th Fighter group decals from Callie. She's awesome and...I live in Phoenix and love paying some respect to our fine Men and Women in the west Valley at Luke and the Amazing job they do training F16 pilots and flight crews from 28 nations and the F35 Pilots and Crews. I fly a couple of Motion/flightline planes and have been happy with them. Loving the B25 Mitchell and Bombing the guys at the field (condoms filled with water lol). But....then they come out with this beast! Not s huge fan of the Artic scheme. Really wish they had a standard Air Force grey. But....the have the AIR BREAKS ON THIS ONE! Air breaks! That's so crazy cool and scale AF! I've had an idea of how to mod my Vipers to add air breaks so... I'm curious how they did it! Just so freaking cool!

[@TwoBrosRC]

This isn't arctic. It's Russian. It's from an aggressor squadron.

[@kila8089]

3:56 That is the whole reason why im here, it gets boring so quickly if the only thing you do with your planes is fly a circuit. If its a trainee with a trainer yes i get it, but if your spending this kinda money i wanna put a smile on my face. I wanna see the plane do things i never thought it could. I chase the feeling i got the first time i seen a plane hovering…

[@williewideback]

Question from a advance beginner who's still fairly new to the hobby and still learning. Even thought this F-16 is a 8s versions, it can also be flown with a 6s battery as well?

[@TwoBrosRC]

You'd need a 6 cell motor, otherwise you won't get anywhere near the thrust required to fly it properly.

[@DPM737]

Very nice. Think you’ll ever do a review on the Free Wing 80mm A4 Skyhawk?

If you want to fly yours like ours, the servo upgrade is definitely mandatory!

[@Bodoque-tr1th]

Jon! Freewing is making really good planes, the new 70mm F-22 looks awesome, give it a try! If you do it please try it without AS3X and out of the box, then make it a beast.

[@TwoBrosRC]

We might try it at some point, but it definitely won't be on a nose heavy limited throw setup. That's the only way we'd fly sans gyro.

[@Bodoque-tr1th]

I understand, thanks Jon! It’s because I have Futaba and it’s not advanced as DSMX, so I want to see it fly without the technology of AS3X.

[@xXRapToRiXxGamer]

What is your experience with hard vs. softer wheels on grass? I reckon on grass the hard wheels shouldn't be too bad?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Softer is always better so long as they can support the weight of the aircraft. Grass is even more punishing to gear struts and the foam they're mounted to internally.

However, it's always good to support more than one company...You know in the interest of avoiding monopolies and price gouging...

[@TwoBrosRC]

RC Castle is run by a great guy, but the shipping he has to charge to get anything overseas makes it uncompetitive to buy from him. $180 shipping tacked on to a slight discount on a FW jet is not worth getting it from another company in our view unless you don't mind paying 33% more for your jet instead of just buying it from MotionRC.

[@thedakotahurley]

@@TwoBrosRC exactly. The planes are cheaper, but add the shipping and you're at or above the MRC price w/ free shipping. Besides, I think the line in the video was in reference to certain individuals who will remain nameless. The RC FB forums are a dumpster fire sometimes lol.

[@TwoBrosRC]

6 cells were flown anytime you saw an afterburner or when it was sunny. When it was dark, or no afterburner, that was the 8 cell setup. Anything inverted high alpha low to the ground was 8 cells as well. Sorry, could've made that a little more clear on our end.

Extensively comprehensive review, Jon. Per usual. And your Camera Crew is on point. Also, per usual 😊 I've noticed you seem to be pretty open minded about trying out new battery packs. I recently got my 1st batch of Spektrum's new "pro air" series 4s 2900mAh 120c LiPos. Put em through a torture test today. And they're actually pretty damn sweet. HH kind of snuck these into the market quietly. But man! I'm impressed, so far. Just wondering if you've checked them out yet. They're a little buried on the HH page. And I've only seen 4s and 6s packs. But the 2900mAh 120c packs weigh less than my 2700's in 30c. And put out for nearly 4 mins longer flights. Anyway, thanks for another awesome video. Can't wait to see next week's 👍

Hi jon , lets say you balance the cg at 40mm back , assuming the manual says the cg is 25mm, why is it that you say you balance at 40mm back, shouldint the cg be where the cg should be , like a center of gravity will always only be at one spot no? Sorry if my question is confusing, im not really sure how to get this point across , its breaking my head even writting this 😅😂

[@TwoBrosRC]

Manual recommendations are always nose heavy by default. If you want more out of a plane, you have to move it back. The F-16 in full scale flies close to where our CG is located, hence why ours is significantly more maneuverable than the average F-16 you see in model form.

[@Reptielenfreak]

Awesome flights/upload but talk about fat pigs. How much runway do you need to take of if you want to get up asap.

[@TwoBrosRC]

With the CG shifted aft and flaperons dropped, you're looking at about 75 to 100ft of takeoff roll. Possibly less if you're willing to do a carrier-style takeoff and slam full throttle immediately.

[@Reptielenfreak]

@@TwoBrosRC i have a runway thats about 80 meters long everyone is talking about how heavy it is so thats the holdback. I dont want to go as far back with the cg but stock first. Flaperons yes! So, what do you think?

Why do you have so much down elevator trim?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Is it that obvious on-camera? The further back the CG goes, the more down trim is needed to fly level.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Yep. We're in Cary, which is pretty far from western NC. Thanks for asking!

[@renaldolama9517]

As someone who has been burned on F-16's before, I am happy that this plane was released. This is a big step in the right direction towards making a durable F-16. I am actually pleased that this one is the heaviest F-16's yet, because that implies heavier duty construction and consequently longer life. The use of plastic everywhere is a big plus and I hope to see more of this in the future. It's always a good idea to upgrade the servos, the servo arms, and the pushrods on the elevator. Overall I'm happy in the new direction that Freewing is finally heading focusing on increasing durability and quality. To those that have never flown F-16's before that buy this plane, if you want your new purchase to live more than two flights, program in flaperons, get your CG right, and please use a gyro on normal at 70% gain.

[@FlightLogProductions]

Looks like you have a bit of rocking from the Gyro? I share your opinion on the tires. I change most of my planes and jets to Dubro Low bounce, but they always take work to fit them and on many setups, you can’t get them to fit without rubbing. This is extremely disappointing. I wish Dubro or any company would make rubber wheels/tires that are the (exact) same size/width as the Chinese foam wheels that all these manufacturers are using. Foam wheels just suck.

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's slightly over-tuned, but we tend to prefer over-tuned to under-tuned.

It's a cobra with a spin. It's a cobra spin. Whatever a "kvochur's bell" is, it's not a cobra spin.

Bro my dad texted me one of your videos, and I told him "Ive met him in real life! He lives around here dad" and I mentioned some of the local flying spots

[@TwoBrosRC]

Indeed you have lol

[@renaldolama9517]

Unfortunately ESC and servo issues are too common and is what I hate the most about buying a new airplane. Motion needs to price their ARF offerings cheaper. They price it at a point that it almost forces you to buy the PNP version. The other manufacturers are not much better, pushing BNF and PNP almost exclusively.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Agreed on the ARF pricing for sure. It'd be nice if it was another $50 less, but it's probably for profit margins. Gotta keep the lights on!

[@sotm6078]

You have NO servo Tester linked!!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Do what?

[@TCO900]

Excellent video as always! Will order one and do the setup as described! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

You know how it fly's on 6s with that setup?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Most of the flying footage is on 6 cells. Anything you see with an afterburner is 6 cell flying.

[@Scjon03]

Damn... and I thought programming 700 size helicopters were bad.

[@TwoBrosRC]

👀

[@shabo857]

Motion should give you this plane for free. Amazing and in depth review. Thanks again Jon!

[@feelgooddany]

Just woaw!!

[@NicholasLawson-f4m]

Can I get some of these fighter jets planes

[@TwoBrosRC]

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

The real F16 is not controllable without fly-by-wire. It would drop out of the sky as to why it has lots of electrical redundancy. They are so maneuverable and are great troop protection because of their ability to fly in tight canyon corridors without hitting the canyon wall. You do the best reviews and how-to's in the industry. I only watch a few of you guys. The rest is horse sh*t of reviewers waiting on their next free package. They will review anything sent to them. They are only good for a laugh, lol. You make me laugh when you are angry at the plane, lol.

[@TwoBrosRC]

The full scale F-16 is only fly-by-wire because of the CG (and probably a few other issues at play) which is so far back that it needs extensive computer controls to keep it stable. Not unlike the setup you're seeing here. Thanks!

[@Jefmac76]

You say in the video isn't nose heavy, then narrate it is nose heavy

[@TwoBrosRC]

lol what?

[@RWJetfan]

Sorry I have to disagree.... the E-Flite 80mm F-16 is still a better jet. The new factor of this plane will die off soon and the weight will become a reality.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Feel free to disagree, but we'll see which one handles better when they're pitted against one another in the near future!

[@AquariusTurtle]

So do you get these aircraft to fly without any limitations like a UFO that can do every maneuver despite its shape? Or do you buy these expensive imitations of real aircraft to experience all the limitations of the real aircraft? I constantly see RC guys complain about models (not so much the F-16) but if you want something with unlimited spin, stall, cobra maneuver performance, I don't see why you just don't make a from-the-ground-up model that doesn't imitate a real jet. In real life, the F-16 doesn't do a cobra maneuver, at least not like a Russian fighter can. Also the F-16 is not meant to be spun. The FCS imposes a lot of limitations to prevent departure from controlled flight. In real life, when you see any fighter doing airshows, it only maneuvers the way it does because it takes off with a small amount of fuel. A fully loaded F-16 is not even as exciting as a 747. Oh yes, and flying upside down at near max alpha is totally unrealistic. Have you ever hung on a parachute and seat straps upside down doing negative G's? There's a reason positive G's are used and not negative G's.

[@TwoBrosRC]

🆗

[@thomgizziz]

You talk about the weight over and over again and yet never tell anybody how much it actually weights... are you sure this is a review?

[@TwoBrosRC]

You sure you can't just click the non-affiliate link and look at the aircraft's weight in the specifications yourself?
