New Dynam Gloster Meteor f8

[lmramos44]

The Gloster now comes with 80amp esc’s. First run up went well. We will see......

Adding power adds weight every time, if you want to maintain the same flight duration.
Carrying that weight requires more power for minimum airspeed to maintain controlled flight. The increased minimum airspeed needed is directly related to weight. The power needed has a CUBIC relationship to the increased airspeed.
You have to have 8X power to double airspeed, before you get there you can easily be too heavy to fly.


The 4S Dynam 70mm fans are pretty decent. The 60 amp ESCs Dynam supplied previously were marginal for the fans. They work much better with Castle ESCs.

Just received mine from them as well it is missing the whole entire elevator stab bitgo hobby shipping out one tomorrow good customer service...

Yes Dr Jing is great.

Why wouldn't it use a 6S instead of a 4S, it has 80A ESCs...:Confused:

Esc’s do not determine your input voltage. That is dictated by what motors are turning those edf’s. ;)But I agree a jet of this size should have a 6s power system. I will see how well I like this jet and decide if I should invest in a 6s power system. If I do it will either be a Freewing or RC Lander set of fans.

Received my Gloster today from Bitgo Hobby. Arrived in the biggest box I have ever received, in perfect condition. Painted the wing tips, elevator and rudder. Probably get into it Friday evening. Will update.

Just bought the Dynam Gloster from Bitgo. Hopefully they have corrected this issues with the first release. I will update you guys.

A good insurance policy would be to use a separate BEC unit in case the de-soldering issue hasn't been fixed yet. Even safer use a separate battery for the rc gear

I think I'd use some free Wing edfs

Bloody well screaming for a repaint!

I would buy it. Even though my Dynam 262 was nothing but a disaster, it looks as though they finally improved the components on here. There are 80A escs.. but you really have to have these for 12 blade fans. But I'm a little stumped, because for 30 bucks more, I can get the Freewing Me262 and that one has the shock absorbing struts, more detail on the airframe, and more provisions for keeping the electronics cool. The Dynam version had none of that - and yes it was about 150 bucks less, but why give us a PNP with crap electronics when we end up gutting those out anyway. Should of sold it as a KIT for cheaper and we would fill in the rest. I can't wait to see how this flies though. We need a good trailer pronto!

I was really looking forward to this model, but now I'm some what disappointed. This model is roughly the same size as their own ME-262, I can't for the life of me understand why they priced it so much more than their 262.
I get it that the 262 is an older model and incorporating new technology in the new model design would cost more, but come on...... On top of that they even strayed away from their original format of offering a PNP and RTF versions to now include a BNF version. If they really wanted to change their marketing strategy and appeal to larger consumer base, they should have introduced an ARF version instead. :Ligthbulb:

Dynam has always prided themselves on being decent quality and economical priced models, but this move pushes their price range up to the realm of competing with FreeWing, but they seriously lack the quality of a FW product.
I would purchase a meteor if it was priced at $280 for the PNP but not one for $329. If MRC does carry the Dynam Gloster Meteor, I might consider getting one if it goes on sale or build up an airframe from the spare parts section { if possible }.

Lets face the heart breaking truth........ Dynam, You really screwed this one up big time. :Crying:

[TiredIronGRB]

No thanks, put $50 with that and get a 90mm Venom.

[CFIT rob]

$329 for pnp, $349 for bnp (has detrum rx installed) ,$419 for rtf. Doesnt even have suspension for $329.
