Official Freewing 90mm F-16 V2 EDF Jet Thread

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.

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.

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.

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

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. ;-)

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).

[Evan D]

Thanks Tom!

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

[Reptielenfreak]

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

[Evan D]

Series connector.

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.

[Evan D]

I have 8S but never use them. I use a 6+2 for 8S.

Mir ist das mit mehrerer Akkus zu kompliziert

Dont use the bencraft serie connector
I lost mine zeus8s with it. It was to hot and solder came loose 😱😭
I solder mine own and use this with my second zeus 8s

The Freewing Chinese intro video is good if you read the subtitles
