Can you post a pic of them and your adapter?

I have two different sets of batteries. Both sets do this. Any ideals? Thanks

Not at all. Should be the same.

Hello
i am using a 6s and 2s setup. The 2s always comes in with like 20 percent left. The 6s will have approximately 50 percent left. Both batteries are from same manufacturer and both are 6000 mah. My question is. Is this normal?

[Evan D]

You really come off in a bad light. I could use different words that, while appropriate, might make me look like a douche.

It is a FreeWing issue and is specific to the 6S version. Motion as a vendor has sent replacement blue ESCs to all that have asked and I have to say many that have asked did so with no issue other than the different way the red one beeped which is how those ESCs were designed by Hobby Wing.

"because I decided to fly a plane that was shipped with defective parts." Really? What defective parts? The truth is that you are complaining about nothing. And I laugh about your spending thousands, I did that last month alone.

A couple have noted an ESC fire and those should be rightfully warrantied.

If you wanted a blue 120A bad enough, maybe this would help. Freewing 120A ESC with 8A BEC and Reverse Thrust Function [092D002001] Motion RC

Why has no one clarified the ESC issue this jet came with, specifically the fact that the ESC installed from the factory is not beeping the battery's cell count? Some are saying that these ESCs count the battery cells differently, but to this day, nobody from MotionRC has clarified this issue to clear this new jet's reputation.

Motion RC is aware of this issue but has not provided any clarification on the matter. Why is this? What are they hiding from us? I have spent thousands of dollars on airplanes from their store, but when I asked them this simple question, their response was that they referred my inquiry directly to Freewing and are waiting for their response. In the meantime, my plane is still grounded in my hangar room. I was going to send the "bad" ESC back and wait for a replacement, but replacements are on backorder without an ETA on availability.

I'm going to maiden fly my jet as is and publish a video including screenshots of all my chat conversations and emails from MotionRC related to the aforementioned "ESC issue." If the plane crashes due to ESC failure, I'll blame them for it. Of course, I'm fully aware that if that happens, I won't be able to claim compensation for it because I decided to fly a plane that was shipped with defective parts. However, at least I'll create awareness for others to think twice about whether or not to trust this store with their money.

Will do, thanks Evan

[Evan D]

I have few from when the FreeWing sytems had separate BECs. Motion has some but try Amazon.

[flazz]

the 1920kv is a FreeWing I've had for quite a while. and I thought I ordered them, but checking, I didn't ..............lol
You have a sorce for 5's and 7's ?
thanks

[Evan D]

The BEC powers your servos, lights and retracts. I would get at least a 7A. I don't see a 5A BEC listed under BECs.

Not sure what 1920kV motor you have, what brand is it?

[flazz]

Thanks Ev D,
I was trending to go that way. I'll be running a 6v pack and a 1920kv, I have 2 5a Bec's comming from Motionrc. Do I need a 7a with the 130 or will the 5a be ok.?

[Evan D]

The new F-16 has 4075 1350Kv or 3668-1960Kv depending on 8S or 6S. Assuming 6S 3668-1960Kv many report higher than 120A on a fresh battery, some with HV packs are reporting over 130. I would not use the 100A you have. Of the ones in your post the 130A would be what I would use but you'll need a BEC.

Hi guys,
I've got a new FreeWing f-16 that's an ARF since I already have a couple 90mm 12 blades.
The specs on the motor 3668-1926 kv that calls for an ESC 120a and 7a. I have a freewing 130a with no Bec and a Predator 100a with a 7a Bec, and a Dlux Tunagy 100/120a with a 5.5 Bec.
Also, I have several inrunner motors from 1000kv to 1920kv. I'd like to be able to use the Predator 100a and the 1920kv, but I don't enough about the combinations of these things so I'm asking.
Thanks for any suggestions or feed back.

[flazz]

Evan D
Thanks for the reply.
Is the 90mm 12 blade thats used in the New F-16 ......

[Evan D]

Exactly what fan do you have?

You can always sneak it out, assemble it and reseal the box lol.

You apparently haven't met my sleuthing fiancé.

[urrl]

Looks like a winner here with this new gen version. My fiance bought it for me but I am not allowed to open it until Christmas day.

OH THE HUMANITY!!!

Does anyone know how to remove the rear fuselage from The main fuselage of the Freewing F16 V2? I have it clipped I. And can’t get it out.

Es gibt rechts und links ein Wiederhackenclip den du nicht mehr lösen kannst. Eine Lösung wäre, dass du genau auf der Höhe der Clips (wenn du diese Angaben von jemandem bekommst, der das Ding noch nicht zusammengebaut hat) ...dann kannst du mit einem ganz feinen Bohrer von links und rechts ein kleines Loch machen und dann mit einem Stift die Clips eindrücken, damit dann der Hinterreil weggenommen werden kann.

In 2014, Freewing, in collaboration with Motion RC, introduced its first 90mm F-16 Fighting Falcon EDF jet. As a premier addition to their "super scale" foam EDF jet series, this model garnered significant acclaim and has remained a favorite in many EDF pilots' hangars for years. To commemorate the model's 10-year anniversary, Freewing and Motion RC proudly present the next generation of this customer favorite.

The next-generation F-16C 90mm EDF from Freewing showcases a range of performance and design upgrades that elevate realism, flight capability, and convenience. Featuring a striking 64th Aggressors Livery, this model honors the distinguished 64th Aggressor Squadron, part of the legendary Aggressor program initiated in 1972. This squadron played a crucial role in training pilots through dissimilar air combat tactics, emulating potential adversaries.

With quick-release wings, an easier fuselage assembly, and a slide rail system for armament, the updated F-16C 90mm prioritizes ease of use. Additionally, the scale appeal and functionality have reached new heights with fully functional, servo-driven air brakes, updated scale details, extra molded-in rivets, painted landing gear, and other intricate detail components. The Freewing F-16C 90mm is designed to impress.

The new power system, featuring a 3668-1980Kv inrunner motor and a 12-blade EDF, delivers exceptional speed and power for long vertical climbs and rapid show passes over the runway. It also includes reverse thrust for short landing rollouts.

Experience the thrill and precision of the Freewing F-16C 90mm EDF – a true tribute to its full-scale counterpart, bringing advanced aerodynamics and stunning detail to your collection.

Sehr schön! ...ich habe die sofort gekauft in der 8S Version, ich liebe F-16, das ist mein absoluter Favorit!

Trotzdem hätte ich einen Wunsch: Liebes Motion RC Team... Wenn Motion RC zusammen mit Freewing einen Hunter, optimalerweise eine SWISS HUNTER MK58 in solcher Qualität mit 90mm Impeller herstellen würde... ich wäre wohl der erste, der einen kaufen würde, ohne wenn und aber! Eine Lockheed U2 mit 70 oder 80mm EDF wäre dann mein 2. Wunsch. ;-)
