Watch the video. Two things I don't like. When you plug it in it glows, it never turns fully off. Second there is no flicker between off and on like others do.

Rc geek on YouTube makes some and his flickers and comes on at a certain throttle point on your radio.

I know, I have them... My post was about things I don't like with the FW one.Comment

I totally agree. While I love the way they mount, I am not a fan of the always on and no flicker.Originally posted by Evan D View Post
For others without the RC Geek afterburns check out MultiBurner option, it's the trick solution for those single fan bifurcated ducts. Works really well on the F22 and F4Comment

I’d be surprised if one couldn’t take a controller board and replace the always on freewing board easily enough assuming voltages are equalComment

That defeats the main benefit, low price.Comment

So make your own from my design, even less expensive.Originally posted by Evan D View Post

Inexpensive, customizable flicker and intensity options, adapter designs available for 64 - 90mm EDFs, customizable turn on point, bifurcated duct option, independent flickering in each tailpipe on a twin, and the satisfaction of doing it yourself.Comment

My controller design would certainly drive it and produce as much (or as little) flicker as you like.Originally posted by Gilatrout View PostComment

kallend, Bravo Zulu, Sir. Flicker is really the thing. MRC's version lacks that one option and it's important to me. Your design has RGB color control, Arduino or clone, write/alter the sketch parameters to suit your throttle setting. I, for one, thank you.

I already have designed an adapter for the bifurcated exhaust on the new Eurofighter, so the two tailpipes will flicker independently.Originally posted by Elbee View PostComment

I guess I should have followed up with the video: Independent flickering in each tailpipe.Originally posted by kallend View Post
The turnon point, and the amount and duration of flickering, are all adjustable.

Hey Kallend, Where are the instructions for the control board,Comment

Has anyone successfully installed the Freeview afterburner light to their F22 8s ? Even after taking considerable care ensuring voltage and polarity were correct, I’ve manage to fry two sets! As soon as I connected the plug to one of the 4s lipos ‘bang’ fried throttle y lead and burnout light controller. It’s obviously a direct short but why?Comment
-
Which one of the 4S LiPos? You should connect to the one that shares the ground with the throttle lead (the more negative of the two packs).Originally posted by Brack644 View PostComment

Goodness me never thought of that. Thank you so much.Comment
-
Had anyone noticed if the flight time is affected by plugging the afterburners into the balance lead? Or if it affects the balance of the battery pack seeing that you use only 3 or 4 cells to run the afterburner?Comment
-
It's noticeable if you have accurate measurement devices. It's not nearly as bad as a FPV set up though.Comment

Yes, when "on" they're typically drawing 300 - 500mA, which is fairly insignificant compared to the current draw of the fan unit.Originally posted by Evan D View PostComment
Bravo Zulu. Best, LB
