Just what we need. ANOTHER F-22.

They'll soon be like P-51s, everywhere in all sizes.

[colinski]

I like it!

Everything that was missing on the 70mm, such as nav lights, and nosegear lights, is on the 80mm. Love all those plastic edges around the intakes and battery bay.

Hope it flies of grass well. Nose wheel seems not much bigger than the 70mm F22 version. And that cheater will probably suck op dirt or grass in to the fan.

Also hope that the gear door sequence can be changed, allowing after deploying of the gear, those gear doors will close again, so they won't catch on the grass while landing.

It was said in the video that CG battery position was tight on a admiral 5000 pack, hope they kept in mind that not everybody flies that brand, and some other brands 5000's are heavier and would need to shifted back a bit more. Hope there is some room left to do so!

[Evan D]

It looks like it has a MCBe which has two stage doors in it. I also like the plastic covers on all the servos. Not only all the things the 70 lacked but also the 90!

I do wish Flightline would come out with a nice P-51D similar in size to the big Spitfire. Never too many Mustangs!

[rifleman_btx]

Speaking of that, it would be cool to have a v2 of the 90, with all the new features, and maybe also incorporate optional thrust vectoring parts with it?

[e4dragongunner]

Amen Evan! We need a Flightline 1600 mm P-51 and a Zero and dare I say a BF109G!


BTW! love the 80 mike mike F22 offering!

[Evan D]

Yes to the V2 90mm but I wonder if this new 80 is their way to do that. The 90's are getting very close to $1k.

e4, yes to the Zero and Messerschmitt too.

[F106DeltaDart]

The full gear doors and realistic sized/located gear seals the deal for me. I've planned on moding the 90mm F-22, but this gives the complete package in a more convienent size.

[Aros]

Never too many F-22 size offerings in my book. Love the F-22 and this 80mm has all the latest updates and amenities and a better size for my field. Look forward to picking one up in late Spring!

This is very good for me. ;-)

True story on the 90mm pricing.

[EDF-Jetpilot]

True story on the 90mm pricing.

Haa, laakiin 80mm aad ayuu uga fiican yahay 90mm, aad u faahfaahsan, aad u qurux badan, aad u deggan, aad u waara oo leh waxqabadka duulimaadka. Markaa waxay ku kici kartaa ilaa 90mm duug ah.

[EDF-Jetpilot]

True story on the 90mm pricing.

Yes, but the 80mm is much better than the 90mm, more detailed, more beautiful, more stable, more durable and with better flight performance. So it can live up to 90mm.

[Evan D]

You have flown the 80 and 90? Which 90 are you saying flies much worse, 6S or 8S? Why?

In other words I don't believe you at least for flight performance. More durable how? More stable, how?

The flight performance of the 90 is not really good, but the 8S is not bad. the 80 has a better power-to-weight ratio. The flight characteristics of the 90 are of course very good, that's not what I meant. In terms of stability, handling and durability, the new 80 owes its success to the many plastic reinforcements and the simple wing assembly, as well as to the better undercarriage. But in the end it's purely a matter of preference as to which one you like best.

[Evan D]

You have flown the 80? Do you have an 80? Do you have a 90 or the new 70?

Flight performance in what way? I have the 90, on #3 and have a spare in the box #4. I've flown the 90 6S, 8S, 10S and 12S and have put TVs and lights on all of them and think it's the best flying EDF that FreeWing makes. I also have the 70 and for what it is it's pretty darn good. My 80 is due in tomorrow but it'll be a few days before I can fly it with the weather.

How does "simple wing assembly" have anything to do with stability, handling and durability or "plastic reinforcements" for stability and handling? And how do you consider the undercarriage better? I think the 80 has a lot of improvements over the 90 but none for stability (except that it comes with a gyro, if you get the PNP, I can't use how I'll set mine up) or handling and yes durability should be a bit better with the plastic edging.

Years ago I learned to fly jets with various Freewing F-22s. It is an absolutely great flying model and easy to control because, like the F-16, it does not stall. I can still remember the feeling of flying the Freewing 64mm without a gyro. All I meant was that the new 80 stays nice longer thanks to the plastics, that the 80 has more power out of the box than the two old 90s, similar to the new 70. The undercarriage is reinforced with metal plates and mounted more solidly (plastic), so it is better and also nicer (scale) with the additional flaps. That's all. So you are an F-22 fan... I can understand that, just as I am an F-16 fan, I love the F-16 more than anything and have every size of it ready to fly in the hangar. I fly the F-16 on about 90% of my missions!

[Evan D]

The 8S 90 still has the best power out of the box though of course modified with a 10S and 12S it had even more, I did have a JetFan 8S in my first two but FreeWings new 8S 90mm fan is as powerful. They all, 70, 80, and 90 have plastic mounted very good gear and all have flaps. Cool to do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UtX...ature=youtu.be

Which F-16 do you like best? I don't like the F-16 as much as the F-22 but have three of FreeWings new 64, one on 6S, their 70mm and the new V2 90mm 8S (I also had the V1 90mm). I also recently had the Eflite 80mm on 8S but didn't like how it flies. Do you have the 105mm? I was thinking of getting one, I like my 105mm L-39.

That may be, I'm happy to believe you.
I had the E-Flite 64, but I sold it because it was too small for me. I currently have the E-flite 70 and 80 on 6S and the Freewing 90 V2 8S. I've ordered the HSD Belgian F-16 105mm with a 134cm wingspan, but unfortunately it won't arrive until March 2025. I can hardly wait. I like flying the E-Flite 80 in grey with flaperons and tailerons the most... I fly it almost every day in the evening after work during the season, using 5-10 batteries. I'm still in the process of testing and adjusting the 90 V2, but it's going well.

I'll have to get the new F-22 80mm too... I can hardly resist.

Well can’t say I can agree with the 80 more power, I own 3 70’s a 90 6-8s. The 90 on 8s is so much more capable than on 6s but thrust wise I watched the speed run video of 117. My 70 Raptor box stock with tailerons runs 132 all day in a mild dive on a SMC hivolt pack with 90 Raptor doing exactly 117 on 6s then 127 on 8s again no steep dives. All GPS’d and witnessed by many club members. I love all the upgrades to the 80 but can’t see gear covers changing that much to handling or how much better it can fly. My second on this will be pack size, I run SMC 59/5100 hivolt packs in my 70’s all the way to the wall cockpit has been modified. If it’s tight with a admiral 5k I’m not sure I’d be able to get CG where I like it to be just my opinion and guys let’s make a 8s option on a 80 as well
