I just ordered one. Total surprise when I looked on line this morning. I was born nearby Whiteman AFB when my dad was flying B-47s with SAC in the 1950s. I think he would be amazed and proud how far strategic bombers had come since his day. I'm looking forward to getting this new airplane!

I think the power system selected should be perfect, this is not a large aircraft except in wing span. Maybe the more powerful 70's that FW has in the Vulcan and HP F-16 and F-35 would better suit you?
Gatoring can happen on anything, you just need to take care of the plane.
I think this is just about perfect, well done FW!

I was so pleased when I found out about this model...I had the LX version years back and I remember thinking "Man, I wish Freewing would make one. It would blow away this LX version." Fast forward a few years and here we are! Just need to find the right paved runway for her and I will be snagging it!My YouTube RC videos:

80mm was way too heavy for this size airplane (which is already at the maximum a box size can be without further tripling in shipping cost). We had experimented with a single 80mm setup on a bifurcated ducting, but the efficiency fell through the floor.
Ultimately, the twin 70mm inrunner fits perfectly into the 2.2m wingspan. The bird has plenty of power for non-scale maneuvers at higher throttle settings and for scale crusing at lower throttle settings. I think we hit the sweet spot for most pilots. With so many birds shipping to customers today, we'll know soon enough.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream
