You'll like this jet, GW. Careful on the turns as it rolls easily and the visual can get away from you. But, if set up right, it's an honest bird. Your colors look amazing!

[Griffon Wings]

Thank you ELBEE ! I just spray the clear matt on it and have major reaction ( croc ) on few parts of the fuse , instantly i want to come the hulk,my heart sunk it!
I’ll skip maiden tomorrow and decide to wait for Callie decals..

[Elbee]

Great work, GW. Best, LB

[Griffon Wings]

Even with few mistakes on my side i’m still having fun . Tomorrow maiden ! Still have to 3D print the tail nozzle and the gear nose doors , the landing lights under the wing and the nose cone to paint to match the grey on the vertical stub .. she’ slowly coming together,another 4-5 hours and she’s done !!

Well done! Looks amazing

[Griffon Wings]

Good luck. Looks great right now, even if a bit blurry.

When I did mine with blue painters tape and the "cotton shirt tip", it still pulled up paint almost everywhere the tape touched.

Thank you Mizer67, i just pull the tape out ... i have a tiny tiny but annoying spot on the tail next to the rudder otherwise no a single problem... great job Freewing .
much more to do on it but she’s coming along!

[Griffon Wings]

Well, i’m scared already to peel out the tape... but have you ever see a ghost plane ?? Now you do !! I try to do a video aswell and i can’t do anything about it, you can still see through her . Speechless.
Looke the 3d printer on back round or the vindow! I did so many angles and still the same.
In time for halloween i’ll guess!! I’m creped out!

[Elbee]

Great Work GW. Best, LB

[Griffon Wings]

So far is such of pleasure to work on this jet. So basic and easy to remove all the gears and servos , stress free !! Unfortunately do this Covid many major retailers are out of stock of the good paint and i’m using the very base available. Horrible quality, specially if using air brush . Yet, the painter suck’s too, don’t get me wrong!
hope to turn ok, but i can’t wait to fly it .
Added solid and flashing led on wings too.. for now.

Hey,


i build my Mig21 with Turbine, that smal bird fly like a dream, with 900ml fuel and Kolibri T30 i still have a lot of Power and time in the air.

With a bit of weathering that Jet looks so beautiful.

Daniel.

[Mizer67]

I fly the FMS 2100kv Pro and get 3 minutes throttle time on 4000's and about 3:30 on low C 5000's.

It's hard to get a tail heavy CG with the FMS motor as it's much lighter than the 1857kv FW motor. I shove the battery back as far as I can and still get the velcro strap on it and I'm still a bit nose heavy. It flies great though on grass and in general. Really stable on the ground and flies slow really well.

[NorthernFlyer]

I am a little late to the party, but for those of you flying off of grass, are you using a 4000mah or 5000mah batteries? And what sort of flight time does each yield? Planning on picking up the ARF and throwing an FMS 80mm Pro in there.

[combatflyr]

I have watched a video demonstration n YouTube where the gentlemen rubs the decals with ice for a 2-3 minutes then pulls the decals off at an angle. Seemed to help quite a bit.

[Mizer67]

Glad you were able to take yours off easy, I could never get mine to stay on.

I had the original sheet for the Silver version that came with the kit plus another I bought from Motion and they both blew off mid-flight.
