Official Freewing 90mm Eurofighter Typhoon EDF Jet Thread

[Alphonso]

i have put in a FMS 90mm 12 Blade EDF Unit in my Eurofighter 6s setup

(converted it to 8s basically)

i was surprised when bench/floor testing the jet doesnt even sound or feel more powerful than the 6s i just ripped out...

is that normal ?

I re-calibrated end points again on the ESC.

I thought on 8s it would sound well.. more mental. sounds the same, is the ESC in 6s mode or something?

I think you have in effect downgraded your Typhoon. I was not aware of a FMS 8S fan. The stock 6S is quite a strong fan and the Freewing 8S fan is a monster. If you have fitted the same FMS fan from the 90mm Viper then you have downgraded the Euro.

[Alphonso]

How many beeps do you get before initialization, 6 or 8? Is the FMS an 8S fan? I've got a 90mm FMS 12 blade in their Avanti and it is NOT an 8S fan. Additionally, did you swap out the stock 6S ESC, with a 120 amp 8S ESC? My Euro is 8S and it's quite different with power and sound than a 6S.

My guess is you have the components (or some) for 6S and nothing for 8S! What 8S flight pack are you using?

The stock 6S esc is the same as the 8S. All you need to convert to 8S is the fan.

Absolutely my favorite EDF hands down!

With that amount of pitch up when landing you must be waaaaaay nose heavy... shift the CG back and it will fly a lot better!

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?

Thanks!
I started without it, but yes, I ended up adding some, in addition to removing pilot figure and cleaning the space under the airbrake to fit one of the 4S 4200mAh packs.

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.

From where? Motion shows them out of stock.

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

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

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.

[Evan D]

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.

[Reptielenfreak]

I recon its the same as the other freewing models, i havent seen any negativs.
