I was never a fan of the F-35 until I got to see them in the flesh at Airventure in Oshkosh. When I saw the pics and the videos of this release from Freewing, I had to hit the pre-order button. I have a fever and MotionRC is the cure (except for my bank account) :-)
Now have to pick up some 6s 4000 packs next. Oh well the f-18 can wait a bit longer ;-)

In the future, I hope to own one of these, and I would like to add elevons (or tailerons-your pick) and flaperons. Just like how a real F-35 would operate. Would that be possible with the admiral 6-channel receiver? I'm thinking in order to do that, you need to separate the aileron and elevator wires, then attach one aileron and one elevator to the aileron port, the elevator to elevator, and aileron to Aux1 port. Not sure if it'll work on a DX6 but give me your advice, what do you think?

You were instrumental in this bird's creation, Tony! Thank you, as always, especially for your counsel on this bird staring over a year and a half ago with your Edwards experience! One question, what are those white circles called? I know what they're for but I don't know their name and it bugs me.
Thanks to everyone's interest in this bird, it has been a big hit and we're excited for that shipment to arrive. As some of the customer volunteer pilots mentioned during our Joe Nall coverage, the F-35 is fast, but I'd also add that it slows down very well, too. Our data suggests there's a bigger divide in those pre-ordering this F-35 --either "go fast" jockeys or "scale flight" beginners. The real F-35's airshow flight plan is fun to watch, and most of it can be mimicked with this model.

This is more or less a pilot talking about the F-35 a couple years ago at the Abbotsford Airshow. He has blown both this and the F-16 for a number of hours.I was able to see the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Stealth Fighter on static display at this year's Abbotsford Airshow. My girlfriend was a great co-pil...

GBLynden, in one of our official videos, I think the announcement video or the first flight review, there's a quick clip while James is talking that shows my slow landing speed (dirt road in China). James learned to fly EDFs a year ago, and I think our viewers appreciate the contrast to demonstrate the model's capabilities in both fast and slow flight, fast and slow landings, etc. I'd wager there aren't many pilots who'd fly an EDF as comfortably at Joe Nall around a year or so after learning, and that's as much a testament to James' persistence as it is the F-35 itself. We really hope the all-new F-35 helps usher in new generations of newer EDF pilots working their way toward Avantis and Tomcats, while still giving those jockeys a compelling reason to revisit the 70mm size.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

I watched some really impressive, veteran RC pilots mess up more than a few times out there this year, it is just part of it. There was a certain other new EDF release that ended in some trees live on FB being flown by a "professional pilot." I think James did pretty dang good with that much pressure on him! Way better than I think most of us would have, in my opinion!
Now... where is my new F35??? :)

Flying on the main line at Joe Nall in front of all those people makes me pee a little :Straight-Face:

I agree 100% and appreciate James's humility putting himself out there like that. He's flying like a savage and few would notice he's been only do it a year if they weren't told. I am relatively new to flying "Big Boy" EDF's myself, so I can sympathize with all of the pressures of flying at a place like Nall. I know I wouldn't do that even with a prop plane at a place like that.

By they way does anyone have a link to a video with F-35 lighting? I know I will have to install lights since I fly usually before sun up.
