Official Freewing 90mm F-16 V2 EDF Jet Thread

[EDF-Jetpilot]

There was mentions of people concernt about the 2x 4s 5000mah. With a paralel connector.. how other than this do you connect them?

Ich habe 4x 8S LiPos mit 5000mA/h, mit denen kann ich gut 20min. fliegen. Da brauchst du keine Y-Kabel und es gibt keine Probleme.

Series connector.

Ich habe gestern die 8S Version bestellt... hoffe die Lieferung in die Schweiz kommt auch bald.

[Evan D]

Thanks Tom!

Thank you to all who have ordered so far. I hope you love this plane as much as we do. It looks like they are going to arrive here in IL a day early! Assuming they show up tomorrow morning as scheduled, we will send out all pre-orders tomorrow (Friday).

Does anyone know if the V2 landing gear will fit in the V1 plane? Does anyone know where to find gear parts for V1? specifically looking for the front gear strut.

im Internet findet man alles von Freewing... man muss manchmal nur ein bisschen weltoffen sein. ;-)

That was a pretty nice landing! Speed seemed manageable. Looking forward to more videos before I pull the trigger.

No further comment 🤠!!

I love this new scheme, just have to wait for some spare money 😅

[N827TM]

I hope the V2, bird will be released in the Thunderbird scheme. I can’t get parts for my V1 any more. If the Thunderbird scheme is released in V2 I will buy one.

Is the RadioMaster TX16s working with this newest Spektrum (+plus ) update. ? Anyone here use it yet !

As Evan said, it is possible to update the AR637T/838360T/10360T to plus by simply using the Spektrum programmer app on your home computer, along with the Spektrum Programming cable SPMA3065. The question is can you then program the RX using Forward Programming on your RadioMaster TX16 for full functionality for gains/orientation/FM's/gain channels/etc. If you already were able to use any of those older 3 AS3X RX's with your TX and program them, you can then program any "plus" Spektrum RX the same way.

I just don't know if those RX's are only compatible (for functionality programming) with other TX's. You could always call HH and ask them how/if you can use your TX with their AS3X receivers. Non AS3X Spektrum RX's will work with most other TX's. I suspect HH/Spektrum does this to "force" people who want to use their gyro receivers to also buy their TX's. I also assume these gyro RX upgrades were done to try and keep up with the $300+ Cortex Demo gyros.

[Evan D]

The update is for specific Spektrum transmitters and receivers.

If you mean for the receivers? Yes the receivers still work as long as you have DSMX on your RM. Yes the upgraded capabilities can be used on the receivers if you can figure out a way to do the forward programming which, as far as I know the RM can not do. Of course the transmitter up date only applies to specific Spektrum transmitters.

No, the ESC doesnt matter it can however give you additional info. So just the reciever and transmitter will do the trick

The Spektrum RX upgrade to "plus" has made a huge difference. Also turned my F18's from an adventure in flying to incredibly rock solid and a breeze to land perfectly every time.:

With this new"Plus" upgrade to the Spectrum receivers, can you use all of it's features and benefits even if you pair it with a non-Spektrum ESC and a RadioMaster TX16s transmitter? Or do the Spectrum "Plus" receivers require a Spectrum ESC and Spectrum transmitter to take full advantage of all it's functions ?

[rifleman_btx]

Looks crystal clear in the videos.

Yes I seen an fpv video with it already, and totally agree that it is crystal clear.

[Reptielenfreak]

If you want to make it move faster you have to give the gear etc a seperate channel and "tune" it manually. I think john from 2brothersrc on youtube habe some setup guids about that.

[kallend]

Does the control board result in glacially slow gear/door sequencing, like the boards in FW's (new) Eurofighter and twin 64mm F-14
