Is this just a really inactive thread or not many of these out there?

Winter weather here in Iowa. Ample time to change livery on the F-16.

If you set up the plane as it comes out of the box I suggest THIS. It is a very good simple to set up and use gyro with individual adjustments for the three axis'.

If you fly a radio that has receivers with built in gyros (AS3X or SAFE, etc) it may be good to go with them.

If you want to have tailerons or flaperons they will require a gyro with more than one input/ output per axis like THIS. The newer FreeWing EG01 and some others are good but need a separate programmer unless you buy a plane with them already in them and preprogrammed. Some may be programmed through a downloadable computer app, the one I suggested for tailerons or flaperons is like that. They are more difficult to program.

I suggest a simple one that does not need a separate programmer or computer and has separate adjustments for each axis. If you want auto level like SAFE or REFLEX then that will take a more complex gyro.

Hi, I bought F-16 V2 90 mm EDF last week. I m an intermediate RC pilot. Now I am looking for a suitable Guard Gyro for my airplane. Do you have any advise? HobbyEagle, Freewing ext. ?

[Evan D]

Simply saying like a propeller, motor and ESC need to be matched the fan in an EDF needs to be matched to the motor. The various fans in the FreeWing and FMS EDF units have different count blades and different blade shapes so it varies widely with different combinations.

Apologies Evan
Respectfully I am not sure I understand your answer. I have seen success with FMS solutions installed in Freewing models before.
Just wondering if this would be different. I was getting a lot of time on my Viper on 8S and they are both 90mm.
I also realize its not ALL apples to apples.

[Evan D]

They have different fans. Each fan needs it's own speed to produce X force.

[e4dragongunner]

Just asking I have an 8s FMS system from my old Eflite 90mm vioer,
- Motor:: 4075 1500Kv Multi-Poles Inrunner Motor (Installed). Think it will work...

I am aware that the fuse may need to be augmented fort the FMS fan.

Just wondering if teh 1500 KV would work? As the Stock 8S Freewing is 1350

Thanks in advance.

SMC lets you order their packs with whatever connector you want including the XT90 Anti-Spark. Too bad you may not be able to get them in Switzerland, but just send an email to Danny from his website and he'll get back to you quickly, his customer service is outstanding.

If nothing else works, I'll pick up some packs and fly over to drop them off, just send me a 1st class ticket and I'll be right over. 😜

Yes, thanks for the info. I've already been in touch with DAnny and he's looking into sending it to me in Switzerland. He's calculating the price for the transport.
You can sit on your MIG 29 and deliver the things to me... then you'll fly as a pilot yourself and not just first class, but like the Arab on the carpet on the plane with a fantastic view! :-)
