      The maiden is scheduled for the last weekend of this month, weather-permitting. I am having a jet expert maiden her for me to get it trimmed out and dialed in before my knee-knocking dumb thumbs get ahold of her.

        Best of luck, man. Like you, I've had poor experiences with the Freewing 90mm F-18. I've gone through 2 of them - 2 crashes. I'm about to give away my current crashed one to a friend today. He'll use it for parts. I hope the rumours of the Freewing 110mm F-18 will come true in the New Year. That's the one I'm holding out for.

          Yeah that Freewing F-18 has really messed with my jet confidence. Ironic that the F-18 Blue Angel is my favorite F-jet of all time. I just want one that behaves! This one "appears" to behave well from all the videos I've seen. Crossing fingers. A lot of moola dumped into this one. May be the last jet I ever purchase at this price point.

          I too would LOVE a Freewing 110mm F-18! Assuming it would be gremlin-free of course.

            Okay I've officially entered the "Shut up and fly it already" phase.

            🤣

            Thanks again to Elbee for the amazing cockpit and added details to the fuse!

              Aros,

              You are welcome, Sir.

              Looking forward to seeing your first check flight video, too.

              Best, LB
