Freewing Mirage 2000C V2 “Tiger Meet” 80mm EDF - Official Thread

[flyAA]

Nice. I’m looking for something that can fit in my trunk in one piece and can really get going. Looks like a winner.

[Evan D]

I would...

[flyAA]

Would you guys say this is one of the fastest freewing jets out of the box? I’m looking for a speed demon and this seems like it might be it.

[RCjetdude]

Mine is the same way and I just fly it. Nobody has mentioned anything to me about the fit, finish or flaws in it.

Photos need to be expanded as the files needed to be uploaded small. Vertical stab decals weren't carried down far enough how do you get rid of that gray line? Wings have a 2 mm gap between the wing in the fuselage due to the plastic Wing mounting points not being flush with the fuselage or the wing, you can see daylight between the fuse and the wing. Nose cone is smaller in diameter than the fuselage it is supposed to meet up with. Decal alignment pretty bad but then again when it comes to that stuff probably better than I could have done so I'll let that one go except for the vertical stab and the gray line where it meets the fuselage the fuselage. Maybe I'm just too picky but I like my stuff to look good, it spends 3.5 minutes in the air the rest of the time in front of fellow Flyers scrutinizing the stuff wrong with it that I have to explain off because I happen to like freewing products that are usually better than this. for $300

I just realized I didn't post the pictures of the finished "Mirageroti":(

Looks amazing George!

Hi Guys,

I just mounted my bird and have the 3D parts too. Nozzle is added value.
Unfortunately the 3D cockpit tub I received is crooked. Hope I I've just been unlucky. Will see what MotionRC.eu will say...

But i'm interested in the way it needs to be installed. Does anyone have pictures of the installion to share?

Welcome to Hobby Squawk! They all come that way. A little heat from a hair dryer and some gentle pressure with your fingers can straighten it out. It is really quite easy to do. The resin is easily shaped with a little heat.

They all do that, it's normal with a thin area like that...I use a hairdryer to heat it a little.

Edit: good news, I will get a new tub.

Thank's again TiredIronGRB :):Goodbye:

[TiredIronGRB]

Thank's for your answer, i'll try with cg at 520mm when it will be repared.

And about the cg test on jet planes, you check it with gears in landing position or in fly position ?

Wheels down.

Welcome to Hobby Squawk! I use 520mm and I have the following rates and it flys great and will high alpha to a crawl I'm not using a gyro and it's solid as a rock. This plane has made me a much better EDF pilot, it's helped me learn how to setup a good glide path to bleed off speed and get my nose up on approach for a nice gentle touch down.


Aileron: 40% rate 40% expo
Elevator: 100% rate 40% expo
Rudder: 100% rate 40% expo

I also use the Admiral 4000 pro batteries and get a solid 4 minutes.

Getting there...

[fastforward]

Another one...

WOW! You are truly on the "cutting edge" George. (Pun intended). Creative thoughts and nice work.

[TiredIronGRB]

Another one...

[TiredIronGRB]

Just going to leave this here...

[BPINE]

Scratch that looks like they are in stock this morning got one coming.

[BPINE]

Does anybody have an idea when these will be in stock again.

[TiredIronGRB]

I flew my mirage v1 with at least 30% expo and 5mm on the aileron and i feel it was still touchy (enough to fly but i planned to reduce throw before i crashed it).

I also have a question because the 3rd flights i've done i found it was nose heavy : with a 690g battery as far backwad i could (removed foam after maiden), my cg was a little forward the 530mm from the end of the fuse with gears retracted.

When you check the cg of the plane, you'll do it with landing gears outside ? Where is your cg ? At 520mm or 530mm ?
