Official Freewing 90mm Eurofighter Typhoon EDF Jet Thread

[Tomling31]

Has anyone seen any decent photos of the battery compartment? I’d want to fly the model on 8/9S with hrb 6000 packs like I do with my other 90mm models. But can’t clearly see how much space there is.

Never had any LX... or Banana or nitro planes EDFs.

Almost all of the Banana branded (BlitzRCworks) products have been (and may still be) akin to garbage. They all need a lot of work to make them perform adequately. Out of the box, the old "tiger" F-18 was really, really bad in every way.

This will be my first, none of my three Mirages were/ are tigers, I didn't put the tigers on my MiG29 and I don't have the 80mm Rafale. What others are there?

I put Tiger scheme decals from Callie on my Gripen.

There used to be a tiger theme on the old LX F-18.

I have 3 Tiger scheme EDFs already. This one will get an RAF airshow scheme.

Could be...

Watching recent assembly videos I am concerned about the unapplied tiger decals. If you look the tiger claw marks or stripes extend from the vertical stab to the fuselage and then the rear rondel is over one of the claw marks. I'm wondering when they say "...comes with basic decals pre-applied, however the tiger decals are UNAPPLIED." how they will do the claw marks and rondel.

It's really hard to tell but looking at Wes's build video where the decals are already applied, it almost looks like the roundel is part of the stripe decal.

Most deltas do to some extent, even ones with a tail such as the A-4. I guess sometimes a gyro may help but I typically don't use gyros.

I have just started flying my Mirage. Mine definitely rocks.

[Evan D]

My Mirage rocks. My Gripens don’t. My Rafale and F-14’s do…

Rock on a delta happens. .

My Mirage doesn't rock. Nor does my Rafale, nor my Delta 707. Gripen rocks, so does the F-14 with its wings back (which is a kind-of delta).

First flight at 2:18 it dropped... Looks like he was saying it did it when he extended the airbrake. Airbrake and stores sure add a lot of drag. I like what I see.

Rock on a delta happens. First flight he was fighting roll trim.

The video went out of focus at about that time and I couldn't tell if the airbrake went up. If it did, he must have lowered it by the time the plane was near landing and back in focus. That sudden drop was a little tense. I like what I've seen in all the videos so far. I intentionally ordered the 8S because I will to fly it with all the missiles mounted.

Several nice flights. Looking at the bit of wing rock and tail wag at certain times during those flights, I think a gyro will be very useful for this plane, just as it is on the Gripen, Rafale - makes them very solid.

Since our RC Castle orders didn't ship on the original date of Jan. 13 and now rescheduled for Feb. 16, I think it's reasonable to say that regular production run won't be available for sending out till about that time, including those destined for the container ship. Then who knows how long they sit on the boat till it's full enough to sail? The one that FNRC got 2 days ago (with tail decal applied) was likely one of a few a "pre-production" units meant for reviewers for introductions. We may possibly see the Petrincic Bros. do a video soon of the one they'll get.

Sounds like they haven’t made the boat…

Another indicator is other sites. This what is on RC-Castles site. Love the misspelling and grammar.
