Official Freewing Twin 80mm EDF A-10 Thunderbolt II Super Scale V2 Thread

[Aros]

I am getting ready to take my girl out for a sortie or three. Long overdue. I've always said this is my favorite Freewing jet of all time to date. Wish she was a one battery girl but she's worth two.

I took myfreewing 80mm V2 A-10 out for the maiden yesterday,it was such a joy to fly,no surprises etc,just good flying,this is my goto bird now,used the SMC 4400mah 6 cell 80c packs and kept the cg a little tail heavy,going to try my HRB 5000 mah's soon,

Congrats JS78….
For a bit more reliability, consider adding the following:
-At least a 3,300 uF capacitor tied to an open slot on the RX. There’s a lot of big servos on this bird, so the capacitor will help keep the RX power stable when servos are moving about.
-As discussed at length on Hobby Squawk, large high-current ESC birds benefit from adding RF chokes. These have been shown to help maintain secure RX/TX communications.

Congrats! She's a treat to observe and to fly.

Can anyone point me to what translucent paint to use to switch my first stock V2 A-10 slime lights to the proper green instead of blue? I don't mind the blue but I'd rather have the scale look. Much appreciated!

Post #20 thru 24 above discusses RF chokes.

These are considerations for any EDF jet…not just this one. EDF jet ESCs can put out a lot of RF noise.

It’ll be worth your time to read ALL the posts in this forum. Lots to learn.

Have fun! I love this bird.
