Official Freewing 110mm F-35C Lightning II Super Scale EDF Jet Thread

[RCAVI8T0R]

Got it together. I must say. This thing is a beast and nicely done. Kudos to all that took part. Now, maybe Freewing (MotionRC) will offer more this size. Hopefully I can get the maiden out of the way within the next couple of days.

Thanks Evan it's a real Rats nest the way its shipped. I will hunt around for the connection. I changed the EC5 to XT90.
I'm curious to see how many Amps it pulls with the LHIV charged to 4.35 volts. Should know in the next few days.

No way to do this. If you want it different you need to put it on it's own channel with a mix to the throttle and alter the mix setting to suite your needs.

Has anyone tried adjusting the LED Afterburner for a more realistic setting. I can't find info on how to do this.

Are you replacing the wheels or hoping to use them on another model?

[Shaun Evans]

What are the main and nose wheel diameters?

[400driver]

Thanks for spotting that , they have now been raised to 50 on each. Better results.

Yes , mine is not the same but from a distance it’s not really noticeable.
What is interesting is that the stock gyro setting are not enough or were not correctly set from the factory. He reported that it was pretty unstable in roll , not so much in pitch.
He did not have a program box at that stage so I lent him mine and we looked at the settings and adjusted them upwards. He has flown it since and is much happier.
i enclosed his settings. The CG is better with both batteries side by side rather than split as suggested. The CG is at least 15-20 mm behind the factory recommended mark.
Nice and floaty is his feedback to me.

You cut off the top and the basic roll gain. We can see the auto level settings, but not the basic gains above.

Alright, thanks a lot. We’re eagerly awaiting its arrival here in Europe, but it seems there are transport issues due to current events, so it’ll take about another month. Let's hope it arrives sooner.

How the small wheel's gyroscope works

And are the gains for the small wheel independent, or are they the same as for the main wheel?

You must be referring to a "steering gyro". This is a built-in feature (pre-programmed). It helps the plane track straight down the runway. Also, when gear is retracted, the steering on the nose wheel is defeated. I'm not sure the gain for the steering gyro can be adjusted. If it works properly, leave it alone.

Why would you have "gains" for the main wheels? They don't steer. They also don't have brakes, so anti-skid gyro is not needed.

Both F35 s arrived, my friend unboxed his today and was a bit dissapointed with the fuselage join. I will look at mine next week as I am away. Will post a picture on my return.

That is rough

[Evan D]

Yeah, my post two above yours...

Now available at Motion.

Looks like it's in Stock just ordered mine.

Right on schedule. RC Castle sold out their first batch. My friend got his earlier this week and has it built and ready to go for this coming weekend if the weather is good. Mine won't be available to ship till end of Sept.

My friend Simon got his F35 airborne for the first time. He felt the gyro gain was too low and that it was very unstable in roll. I am lending him my programmer to increase the gyro gains. He commented that is was pretty good in pitch attitude on landing and that with the standard battery placement the CG was behind the factory suggestions.

Back home snd checked to see if my F35 had a poor join as the one above, It was fine! No issues, its a big bird, not sure when I will get it built as brought back the new Typhoon 8S and have the Mig 29 TV waiting for my next trip back to China. I just hide them on returning home so the BOSS does not see them.
