Official Freewing 90mm F-4 Phantom II Thread

[RCjetdude]

The 3DPUP set for the F-4, available factory-printed as an Upgrade Set, comprises 13 different pieces that assemble to create a nearly full cockpit tub for both pilot and WSO, and also two crew ladders. Say goodbye to alligator skin on the dashboard! The crew ladders also make a nice touch for static display, and are intended to tempt certain industrious modelers (you know who you are) to execute an opening canopy mod. We purposely left space in the seat pillars to fit 9g servos...





Pictures of the actual pre-printed sets are forthcoming from Xplaneguy and Pilot Ryan.

Thank you! Thank you!

And the people REJOICED! :)

You folks are going to LOVE this one! Flies SO amazingly well! Truly THE big F-4 that the world has been waiting for!

[TomPatton]

Pre-ordered #300138... Should be here just in time for decent flying weather:Drooling:

[RCjetdude]

Why no pre-order for the 8 cell?

8S is "Coming Soon". Probably not on the water just yet.

Ordered the PNP version!

[Alpha]

Wolpertinger, the 6s and ARF+ models have already departed the factory, which is why we have opened the pre-order for those two formats. However, the 8s PNP production was not completed before Chinese New Year (which effectively began today). So, we are not pre-ordering the 8s PNP at this time. We prefer to only pre-order product once it has left the factory. We'll start the 8s PNP's pre-order once that production run departs the factory, but that won't be for several weeks, at least. Chinese New Year spans weeks before and after the actual holiday period, due to many, many factors. Fun Fact: The largest migration in human history takes place each year from this region, when ~80%+ of the provinces leave the cities to visit their hometowns out in the countryside. Tens of millions of people!

I personally prefer the 6s, and, like the recent Avanti and A-10, I assume most people will leave it stock after they fly the stock setup. We tailored the ducting of the F-4 specifically to the 6s PNP's power system. The 8s is ballistic, sure, but it lands faster and I wouldn't recommend landing it on excessively rough terrain except with confidence (and a headwind). This jet deserved being offered in all three flavors.

Crxmanpat, the HET1680 will go great. We ran one of the prototypes on HET1500 and HET1680. Watch those amps, depending on which fan you're running on it.

Sticking it in a JF90. ;)

A few more photos from our collection ... I will see if I can get my pal Rob, who has flown this one a lot over the last few weeks to a month, to pop in and share his flight impressions.

Very sad too big for my airfield and my wallet hope everyone enjoys it though May have too order fms f18 wish motion sold it cause I like spending my $ here maybe the next plane ...well have fun guys

[RCjetdude]

I don't see any mention of the motor kV on the 6S PNP. Just curious.

[Arcus4]

Ordered mine.........and the wait begins...........

[Alpha]

Bajora, stellar photos, as always! I suspect Borntoolate and the Crows Crew may tempt you down there at some point soon?

[hotrod23t]

Is. There another plane conning project foil or did I miss that

[James]

I personally had given up on Motion RC. Looks like I'm back on board. Well done
Order 300134 ARF+

Thanks for purchasing, but why'd you give up on us?

[F106DeltaDart]

Beautiful! Need to figure out how to clear some Hangar space for this monster. Definitely planning a Robin Olds paint scheme. The 3D printed cockpit kit looks amazingly well!

I figured you guys wrong.

Happy to be here and looking forward to the F4.
