    Watching Wes, (super pilot) fly in the videos with the 6-axis gyro makes it look easy.

    Can't wait to see the full assemble and review video.

    Start saving pennies today.

    Gorgeous looking model this one.

    Yah-hoo Habu....

    Best, LB

    I put in my pre-order. The model looks fantastic, with pretty much every feature I'd want out of the SR-71. Love the scale gear and the speed chute. May try to run a 7000 to squeeze out a bit more flight time. Hopefully if this does well, we'll see more similar models (like say, a twin 70mm+ XB-70)​

    SR-71 Blackbird Twin 70mm EDF Jet With Gyro from Freewing - PNP - FJ32211PG


    The Freewing SR-71 Blackbird pays tribute to one of the most legendary aircraft in aviation history. Developed in the 1960s for high-altitude reconnaissance, the SR-71 set records with its unparalleled speed, cutting-edge engineering, and futuristic design. This model faithfully captures the details of the original with its sleek, unmistakable silhouette and incredible scale details, including a functional drag chute, full-flying vertical stabilizers and complete, functional gear doors. At over 6 feet (1.85m) long, the SR-71 provides a commanding presence in the air and is guaranteed to be the star of any flying field.

    Designed for ultimate realism and personalization, the SR-71 includes three unique decal sets or can be further enhanced with your own custom designs. Powered by twin 12-blade 70mm EDFs with efficient 2957-2210Kv inrunner motors and thrust-reversing ESCs, it delivers impressive thrust, turbine-like sound, and shortened landings. The pre-installed Freewing EG01 6-axis gyro ensures smooth, stable flights right out of the box, while CNC-machined landing gear struts and a spring-loaded electronics hatches offer durability and convenience. With its perfect combination of scale detail, user-friendly features, and innovative performance, the Freewing SR-71 Blackbird is a must-have for RC pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike.

    Massive Size

    At over 6 feet (1.85m) in length, the Freewing SR-71 provides a commanding presence in the air, and is sure to stand out at your flying site.
    Scale, Full Flying Vertical Stabilizers

    Full flying vertical stabilizers faithfully replicate the full size SR-71’s vertical tail functionality, further enhancing realism.
    Captured Ball Link Control Horns

    Centering the ball link between two control horns provides an even load from the servo to the control horn, maximizing responsiveness and long-term durability.
