To guestimate flight time I use the following formula :-edf power calc for Avanti rhino 4000mah 50c 4/55x60x0.70 = 3 mins i.e 4amp hr battery consuming average of 55amp over flight time. The tricky bit is guessing the average power consumption and that depends on flying style. If the flying time is known for the Eurofghter on a 5000 you can use the formula to work out the ave amps consumption ad feed that back in for 4000mah to get a light time for the 4000. It works for me ! The Hobby Eagle A3 lite basically is a windy day gyro to smooth out the bumps, either on or off at the rates you set it at on a 2 way switch, no auto level. The A3 super 4 is a bit more feature filled, allows auto level, servo reverse, individual gains amount on rudder, elevator and ailerons. It also has 2 aileron and 2 elevator outputs which gives you more control and more choices such as servo reverse on say left and right canards and servo reverse on left and right tailerons I would suggest you ask Motion r.c. customer services if the A3 Lite works ok with the Eurofighter and how it is wired bearing in mind the canards. I prefer an auto level gyro to give me that extra second of recovery time in moments of lost orientation/brain failure . ​​
    Thanks for the info. Very useful information. As for the eagle a3L I’m sure will work out just fine with the euro. I’ve used it on all my previous 80/90mm freewing jets including the older version of the eurofighter. I’m definitely liking the sound of the extra features of that super eagle gyro.

      Is it necessary to mod the battery bay in order to fit an HRB 6s 5000 pack further back?

        Freewing version of super4. Worth watching the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KIT9KenYYA

                Just be aware that "C" ratings are for the most part just inventions of the marketing department.

                    How reliable is the control board? (I’m also asking on other forums).

                        There are a few people that have had issues and when one causes a crash it’s a major issue and, rightly, they are vocal about it.

                          The ones in the early release had glacially slow retract sequencing speed. But it was reliably slow.

                          I'm told the recent ones are faster.

                            From motion. They had them when I ordered them. I checked now they still say in stock.

                                Looks awesome, im thinking about getting one.
                                so i was told it came with some tail weight? Did you add +-30gr extra or just the +-30gr in the tail?

                                  When I put mine together I expected a very nose heavy plane so I bored a hole in the tail cone to allow TWO of the 21g slugs. One that cam e with this plane in the parts bag and a second I had removed from another plane.

                                    And if you need more:

                                    If tailweight is needed for CG positioning, each of these nozzles weighs between 30 and 50 grams depending on how you print it. Each nozzle also has slots for inserting lead shot or small weights, up to 50g per nozzle.IMPORTANT: The duct through the nozzle is offset at the front by some 3mm to match the hole in the foam where it attaches. You will need to ensure that the nozzle is in the correct orientation for the nozzle to align with the hole. Just rotate it until the best fit with the hole is found, mark the position, then glue it to the stub.The cutting guide slips over the foam stub where the stock nozzle would attach, and indicates where to cut so a 6mm foam stub is left to which the new nozzle will be glued. (Shortening the stub leaves more room for weights). I suggest marking the stub so you can correctly align the petals on the new nozzle, since the original alignment grooves will have been removed.Make sure it is securely attached so it can't fall off in flight.I suggest taping the join on the inside both to strengthen the joint and to smooth the airflow.
