Official Freewing Vulcan 70mm EDF Jet Thread

[Flyboy43]

I think it will fill the role of the everyday, and/or warm up, jet very nicely and at a reasonable price which should attract plenty of buyers. It's good to see that that Motion has made the decision to produce this "everyman's" jet when other manufacturers seem to be focusing on larger, more costly, 80 & 90 mm EDFs recently.

It's a typo...

[kallend]

Sorry kallend - Typo. Flaps are included, preinstalled as with any other.

The issue is the statement in the press release that you can use a 5 channel system. So it should be 6 channels, right?

You also need to fix the spelling ("pre-upgradeded")!

[kallend]

Flaps servos included in specs, need 1/2 flaps for grass take off so flap/gear link wont work.

I can make that work. Just need an appropriate TX capability and a bit of ingenuity.

If it’s intended to cope with grass ops I’m surprised the nose gear doesn’t retract forward rather than back so that you can put a brace behind it.

[Radar-Guy]

I think I will convert the nose section of my Avanti to get an 80mm Vulcan sport jet

Flaps optional? Or tied to gear channel?

[Evan D]

Or just a typo...

I have to say if you compare this to the 70mm or 80mm Avanti it has some very good points at a good price (the $299 "sale" price). When I ask people on line or at my field why even consider the 70mm Avanti over the 80mm FreeWing Avanti every reason (except one) is negated by this plane. The one not negated is the surprising reason that a lot of people simply don't know that Motion or FreeWing exist.

Well after 8 plus months of waiting for freewing release, there she is. I will take a pass. all my best.

[kallend]

Having modified my rebel with similar suspension and 6 s in-runner I will pass on this but it is good to see a well thought out flying model.to rival the viper jet but with grass friendly gear. No doubt the rebel will be discontinued before long. Also I prefer the look of my Avanti S but then it depends on the depth of your pockets and we all need deeper ones at the moment !!!!
In the blurb it says 5 channel rx, min, should it not say 6, ailerons, elevator, throttle, rudder, gear, flaps .adds up to 6. :pensive:

Not quite what I had in mind when I suggested a Vulcan for the next offering.

I know right! 😉

[AirHead]

This is probably a "filler". There's something outstanding ready to roll soon............

[Ron1950]

Its in stock they just had to get it all in the computer

[SanExup]

Yeah, with shorter trailing link gearno cheater holes on the bottom it might be ideal for the dirt roads I often fly from too. A bush jet!

[rifleman_btx]

Looks well suited for grass ops.

[Evan D]

Great addition, good size, good price point, should sell very well.

[Randy H]

Very nice sport jet I am sure they will sell a lot of them. Little disappointed hoping for a new war bird, but as Alpha says something for everyone. I am sure there are more new products coming.
