Another smoke-Gripen video (without music/slowmo).

EDF sounded funny due to FOD.

Did you bang the tail hard on that takeoff?

Can anyone point me to or know the thrust output on the factory installed EDF unit? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance

3.0-3.1kg thrust from the 9-blade 80mm 1920Kv Freewing inrunner, according to RC-Castle. You can find it on their website.

I was always going to repaint immediately anyway. What bothers me ALOT are those little star dimples everywhere. Even in the tailpipe.
Oh well a wetsanding fool I'll be!

Sure looks a lot better Frank. The stock decals are so transparent they might as well have not bothered- it's sad they saw fit to ship the Gripen that way.

Thanks, Tom. I just used another set of stock decals (the sheet with the dark grey markings). The decals are basically fine, they got the grey colours on the plane wrong. A certain typo has been corrected as well...

Another repainted Gripen, I tried to make her look a bit closer to the real thing, all grey surfaces were repainted. Some of the missing decals were added and the nose gear doors were modified as well.

Skosh25 is that "BIG MIG" the Freewing twin 80mm or another model? My Gripen feels huge to me and it looks like a desktop model compared to that beast!

Yes it’s the Freewing Mig-29....Big-29

[BaltimoreBomber]

Finished the repaint of my 8S powered Gripen today and took her for a spin with two of her hangar mates. It was the maiden for the MiG-21 as well. In all had 3 Gripen flights, 2 MiG-29 flights and 2 MiG-21.

Not a great paint job finish but Callie graphics make it look better. Don’t stand too close and it’s perfect

I mentioned it mostly because since I typically have it around to prime my figures I have used it on some of my RC planes and think the matt finish is particularly good with this one if that's what you're after. I don't particularly enjoy glossy finish of most typical spray paints, but yeah, the Warhammer world-stuff can get a bit expensive.

If you don't find anything better, can always try that ;)
