From my experience the Freewing ME262 is a great plane. It is very scale and flies heavy but easy. However the Dynam version of the 262 has more wing surface area and is much lighter in weight. One of my friends gave me his Dynam ME262 and I already know how under powered the motors were and how awful they sound. The screeching and buzzing sound of the motors is enough to make you regret the Dynam purchase. So I decided to make this Jet worthy of praise. I upgraded the motors to FMS 1850KV 2860 motors with Hobbywing 80A twin ESC. I also noticed the original ESC position is under the battery shelf which gets a small amount of air current from the Nose Landing Gear area. Once the ESCs are pushed into the designated slots, there is no room for air to circulate and cool the ESCs. Because of this, I decided to mount the new ESC in the fuselage. The modifications include holes on the outside of the fuselage that are covered with the black air scoops. The Scoops are made of half of plastic spoons. they take cool air from outside and direct it inside the fuselage to cool the electronics. Watch one of the three videos and notice all these upgrades. There is an exit vent on the bottom near the tail section to allow the air to vent out. I will post videos of the maiden flight and landing. I will also include the video of the custom paint job and bullet holes. I swapped out the LED lights at the wing tips with Xenon Strobe lights from Banggood.com. Basically the Xenon Strobe lights are camera Flash lights converted for Hobby use. They are very effective during daylight. They were installed after the maiden flight, therefore you wont see them in the flight videos, however you will see them in the third video in my garage.
I hope this will inspire some of you to upgrade and enjoy this Jet to its fullest potential.
FYI,
I used an admiral 6S 5000mah battery and got 3 minutes of flight time with 25% battery charge left
