Official Freewing de Havilland DH-112 Venom V2 90mm EDF Jet

Oooooooooh man. You've got me way tempted with bigger jets with the new MiG29. A 120mm Venom? Not sure how I could say no to that.

[PaulZ]

All this got me nostalgic and I took my Venom out last night. Still an amazing model to fly! Alpha how about a 120mm version next? 😉

Buckle up!

While I prefer the silver version, I must admit that over time, this livery has grown on me. I saw Bajora's photos of it and ever since then have contemplated getting back into the Venom game. I do love Swiss jets..

If I am being completely honest, I love the looks of both jets! After seeing this one fly in person, having a silver one at our rare flying field would be epic too! Could you imagine Bill and myself flying tandem with opposing colors?

Egads ... the light poles!

Yes sir! It takes a big pair of brass stones to fly where we fly. Then add in cross-winds from the Pacific Ocean-Cascade Mountain currents we contend with and you have a challenging flying environment to say the least!
But that is how JohnVHRC, Wild Bill Flynn, and myself roll

She once even graced the cover of FlyRC! Back in the day ...

[QUOTE=Ron lake;n265736]Does anyone fly this on an 8s Jetfan 90 setup? If so I’d like to know what mah battery you use.[/QUOTE

I don’t see how you would fit 8s, it’s really tight inside with 6s.

I wondered same thing, but might not be enough room in battery compartment

Morning gents! Has anyone installed a JP hobby brake system on this bird yet? Wondering what axle size to buy? Venom manual says 3.2 but when I measure it me at 4.97?

Why? Are you landing on a postage stamp? thing requires very little runway.

Went with your recommendation: maiden yesterday; 1 click of aileron trim and flew just like everyone says. My first 90mm EDF: amazing sound and great presence in the sky. Very pleased.

[Wrthog]

Venom all day!!! This plane is a beast!

[Oris600]

Thanks John. It’s a toss up between the Venom and the T-33 but with your comments I think i’ll go with the Venom even though it’s an older design.

Hi Guys. Very tempted by the Swiss Scheme Venom and reading all these posts you all obviously think it fly’s great. My only concern is that I am going to have to remove the wings for transport and storage. This sounds like it may be a problem over time. What do you think?
Cheers.

I take the wings off mine, no big deal. Only takes a few minutes and it’s worth it.
