That's great news! Now we need to see if Callie Graphics is planning on making any graphics for the Euro Fighter.

Currently she does not.

She made graphics for the previous version. I chose her "GINA" graphics.

Note concerning this new version which has been added to the product pages:

This new 2023 version of the Freewing Eurofighter comes with basic decals pre-applied, however the tiger decals are UNAPPLIED. This allows our customers to have more freedom to choose their own custom decals if so desired.

Happy new year my friend!

Same to you, Evan. I'll be like the motorbike rider or pure sports car driver in the middle of our winter. They go out to the garage, sit on or in their machines and go "VROOM-VROOM" till spring arrives. We'll have to keep this plane on the hobby table and go down to the basement and work the airbrake and controls and make flying noises for a few months.

FYI ................. RC Castle has now "SOLD OUT" of their first allotment of both 6s and 8s Eurofighters. They still claim they will ship out Jan. 12, 2023. The 3 of us flying buddies in Calgary hopefully should see ours a week to 10 days after that. All 3 of us ordered the 8s versions.
(Not that we can fly them as we are in the depths of winter for some months yet.)

Clearly "read end" should be "rear end" in my previous post.

I’m really happy to see Freewing going for a more scale look on this jet. I’ve been wanting to see that happen and more of it. There are quite a few details I’m truly appreciating on this jet which include:

- White painted struts
- An ESC that can be used for 6S or up to 8S
- Thrust Reverse functionality
- The overall scale landing gear stance and location, and gear doors
- The switch for the main landing gear doors
- Airbrake
- A 12-blade impeller (and improved power system overall), which I prefer the sound of over the 9-blade
- Easily accessible canard servos
- Plastic capped cockpit
- Wing screw design
- Canards appear to secure with machine screws into threaded metal rods.
- Landing gear lights on the mains

I can't speak to his system, but my DIY design for single fan dual lamps for a bifurcated tailpipe adds 26g at the read end, and the controller is about 10g (depending on which Arduino you use). The controller can be located anywhere convenient.

thanks

how much weight do these centerburner lights add to the airframe.

A video of the V2 Euro I hadn't posted yet...

I use the yowoo graphene lipos, brand of Hrb....
very good value !

+1 on the Yowoo Grphenes, I'll be using 2x5000 4S 100C Yowoo's in my 8S version. Yowoo 4S and 6S batts have been my go to packs for the last 2 years for EDF's and they are available locally in Sydney too.
Looking forward to the Eurofighter Typhoon enormously, congrats to Freewing for listening to what the community wanted.

[kallend]

Yes, some of the numbers printed on batteries are just not right....

It's Christmas, don't get me started.

If he's using HobbyKing Turnigy Graphenes, they are quite heavy for the mah size. I have several of them myself and I would say that his 4000's are more like 4500 to 4800 in other, non-Graphene brands. My 3000, 4s Graphenes have the same flight time as my Admiral 4000, 4s bats and weigh nearly the same. Both flown in the same plane (OV-10) in the same manner. Their Graphene Panthers are the next evolution in the Graphene series and they are even bigger and heavier for the same mah size. It's like buying a 20% to 30% bigger battery. By contrast, I find it intriguing that the HV bats from Coddar and even from SMC, are so much lighter for the given mah than "normal" LiPos, yet fly the same kind of duration. How do they pack so much more into so much less? The HV are the ones I plan on putting in this Eurofighter.

PS. I've stopped buying Turnigy Graphenes. They just aren't good value for the money and once mine got to about 3 years old, the balance lead faulted and no longer can be balanced charged. Since newer brands have come along like SMC, Coddar and CNHL and several others, HobbyKing Graphenes have taken a back seat to those others.

Dooh... I see what you are saying but not a specific battery. Thanks.

[Evan D]

Yes, some of the numbers printed on batteries are just not right... Again, all things being equal...

And curious about "The lipo recommended on the instructions weighs 760g".

[xviper]

The Motion web site recommends their 6000 Pro that weighs 910g. The manual pg8 says 5000 to 6000 greater to or equal to 35C. No specific battery. Where do you see 760g?

It's on page 8 of the manual at the top right corner of the diagram.

(Got beat again.)
