Official Freewing 90mm Eurofighter Typhoon EDF Jet Thread

Those latest FNRC videos somewhat confirms what I originally thought in my mind after seeing their earlier vids ........................... Either this plane really needs a gyro or the pilot needs to calm down the tremors in his thumbs. It looks wobbly and "loose".

Videos being quality ................. perhaps. First vids, couldn't see the plane because it got so far away. Latest vids, the plane wizzed by so fast, it couldn't be kept in frame (too much zoom). They can't seem to win.

I wonder if that a mode 1 thing. Throwing rudder at a plane seems to induce roll. If you watch this video you can see them wiggling the rudder and the canards and ailerons wiggle too

For anyone interested and has BBC Earth on the TV, there is currently repeating episodes of Brian Cox's Adventures in Space and Time - What Is Time? Season 1, Episode 4.

There is a wonderful clip of the real Eurofighter as it blasts it's way to nearly Mach 2 with Cox on board. He points out all the "classified" stuff on the plane that they can't film or talk about.

Heard a Rumor that the Eurofighter may be in stock late this week or early next week. I guess will find out

[BenOzzy94]

TGoelzer you tease you

At MotionRC?

RC Castle is supposed to be sending their orders out Feb. 16, so could be possible for them.

I'd love if by some mad miracle all the MRC customers got their models first all the confusion that would cause

Wouldn't that be a nice surprise. Possible but it's not likely they are even on the boat yet, then comes 2 to 3 weeks to transit. Confusion doesn't last long while doing the happy dance.

We don't worry about no stinkin' grass.

Just got a email update from rc castle
Planes shipped today to them.
And will be shipping mine by end of the week looks like I might be getting it shipped earlier than the 16th ..

Blue flame afterburner ready and callie graphics..

Oh ya

[xviper]

Same here. If not by the end of the week, beginning of next week. Should see it in about 10 days after that - early in the week of Feb. 20. Early is always a good thing.

I'm still surprised MRC hasn't given ANY update on their timeline. Per their website: "We will update the ETA as various milestones in the production and shipping process are completed." You can't tell me that we have hit zero milestones so far.

[xviper]

They probably don't want to update anything until the shipping company has accepted the container onto the dock yard. Then who knows how long it sits there loading before weighing anchor?

All the fretting and complaining on internet forums won't get it to you even one minute sooner.

And yet, children all over the world love to track Santa on Christmas Eve from the North Pole. Even adults get into it. There are many facets to human nature.

As a former "car nut", I can understand it. That special factory order creates excitement from start to finish. If I could know when the first weld was done to the last bolt that got screwed on, that would have been satisfying in itself. If I were truly anal, I would have my cousin stake out RC Castle and tell me when the delivery truck with my plane shows up, but luckily, I'm not that obsessed just yet.

Sometimes people forget the purpose of a forum.
