      Its a pretty hot set up but it all depends on how you are flying. I limit my flying time to about 3 mins just to be safe. It draws about 145amps peak but at half its only drawing about 45amps but still has enough power to climb. I have done 4 mins with laid back flying... but wouldn't dare do that when hot rodding!

          Its a question of what you have flown before... and with how much success.

              I personally wouldn't buy it for my first EDF, it is easy to fly and flies very well but if you get in trouble on landing it sometimes can be a handful at times, it likes a nice solid approach, heavy flyer as well so you have to pay attention to your landing, its very easy to land but it's your first EDF you said, I used to recommend the F-86 but I think the L-39 would make a great first EDF, it flies very well and lands like a trainer, gear is tough too. Just my opinion of course on that......:Cool:

                  Wouldn’t be my first EDF, sorry I assume it was understood I was flying 64/70mm first

                  • Personally, I buy EDF Jets that I like to 'Look' at !! Simple as that. And if something is terribly 'Wrong' looking on one, I won't fly it until I 'Correct' it !! It may only fly once as we all know. Should have it looking good for that glorious occasion

                    Any of them can be made to fly well, if you've got the inclination, skills and resources to make it so.
                    It also helps if you have a 'Proper' FlyingSite for your desired 90mm EDF Jet !! Pointless to go through the motions if you've got nowhere to fly it. We've all seen the Videos of these Jets. By watching, One can usually determine how a given Jet will most likely behave.

                      Oh okay, my mistake, thought you were just getting into EDF Jets, I still think the L-39 would be good but for a 90mm the F-15 is a good flyer as well and it sounds like you can handle it, get the high performance pkg if you can, flies better than stock.

                      • Here’s my repaint in the Mod Eagle colors. I know, I know. It’s not much different than the original but I notice it. Tomorrow arrives an 8S setup from MRC for it. Can’t wait to see how it flys on the upgrade. I noticed a huge improvement when I applied the same upgrade to the 90mm F-16. Hoping to see this one perform more like an F-15.

                        • Would that be the 'Pacific Grey' you've got going on there ? NiceWork !

                          • Thanks! I’m not familiar with the term “Pacific Gray.” It is a rendition of a Kadena F-15 squadron out of Japan though. :)

                            The colors used for this Mod Eagle scheme were FS 36251 and FS 36176.

                              I mean, I'm new, yes lol. I flew my viper and F-16 this past weekend and F4 both went great. Had a hiccup on the F4 and collapse the nose gear (Eflite). The wind was picking up and I shouldn't of been flying such a new bird. There's talk about elevator setting and if the CG that's in the manual the real cg.

                              The Eflite F-16 is just awesome. I hope the Freewing 70-90 fly just as well.

                              • DEATH OF AN EAGLE
                                Well, a couple weeks ago I lost my F-15. It's my fault, sort of. One of the wires pulled out of the EC-5 connector on the ESC. I bought it used from a guy on RCG. I checked everything over pretty good before I flew it, and it all seemed ok to me. I did get to fly it about 30-40 flights. But I really should have paid more attention to the connectors. After removing everything out of the carnage, I saw that the connectors were not soldered very good. I bought it as the HP version, which it was, but I think the guy did the conversion himself. Anyway, lesson learned!

                                I was all set to pull the trigger on the F-22 as a replacement, but then I got that darn e-mail from Motion on the new F-18 Blue Angels that will be coming out, someday soon I hope. I already have my CC ready to go. Ha Ha

                                      I either Make a FullOn TailHook capable of supporting the weight of the Jet, retractable of course or I Sink a wooden Anchor in them and run some Plastic Coated Steering Cable through that and make a loop on the end to Hand em !!!
