Is there someone who can 3d print and sell some straight Wing Fences for the FW Avanti S 80 mm?

Thanks

There is more than likely a local enterprise that does 3D printing. Google is your friend on that. If you can't find a local service, there are also 3D printing companies on Internet. I can't find the company I used a few years ago -- before a couple friends of mine got 3d printers. Now I pay them.


EDIT: I finally found the link to the online outfit I've used with great success. https://www.shapeways.com/

Yeah there is some carving that will be needed, and if memory serves you need to either move the esc back or extend the wires, because the fms motor wires are shorter.

Yes the FMS motor wires are shorter. I got the E-Flite 100Amp ESC with longer wires to solve this...also you can just relocated the stock ESC. 100Amp ESC handles the FMS 2100kv fan with no problem.

Thanks, any mods to the EDF mount spot?

I just bought a 1ft sq sheet of 1/16th Birch ply at the local model shop and cut some

The mounting hole locations are different, and a little foam sculpting is needed.

[DrDeath]

I have that unit in mine, along with the stock ESC. Also have it in the Mirage 2000 and Gripen with the stock ESC. No problems.

So I have flown my AvantiS for 4 seasons and love this plane. I have cranked the stock motor up to about 128mph, but I want to go FASTER! I have been reading about the FMS 80MM V2 12 BLADE PRO 3280 2100KV EDF FOR 6S and I am wondering do I need another ESC for this setup or is the stock one doable?

Hey guys

Its already a while ago but wanted to share a video I did when i started flying the Avanti. My setup is a 6200 pack half inch back from the position the battery hits the foam in the back of the cockpit. I needed to shift back since the battery is 80g heavier then the 5000 pack. . It gives 1min 50 sec more flight time with a little throttle management. Up to know i lost numbers but I would say around 240 flight done since fall of 2018. A great trainer, a great warm up for big jets. We even do formations with them and have a blast in the later afternoon evenings enjoying the lights on this great sportjet.

Check it out.

I have recently purchased a Hobby Eagle A3-L V2. Upon using the gyro for the first time, I took off and then adjusted the gyro by using the front right knob on my Spektrum 9 transmitter and successfully brought the jet to smooth flight. I could not have been flying for more than 2 minutes when my Avanti jet began to loose power which ended badly as the plane could not climb above the tree line thereby losing my jet. Has anyone experienced a loss of power when using this gyro, or a shortening of flight time??? The jet had been flown numerous times by me and the battery was fully charged. All cells were full. Can anyone help me here??? Gary

I have/had these gyros on all 4 of my Freewing jets. Never had a single problem at all. I agree with Hugh that something else is going on with your setup. Sorry for your loss. -Biff

I added anther nozzle to the set I posted for the Avanti. This one based on the Rafale's nozzle.

Just back from vacation and responding to several posts:

1. I have posted a bunch of exhaust nozzles for the Avanti on Thingiverse. Some scale-like and some fanciful:

See https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4785745

2. My Mirage is much faster than the Avanti but I have no idea how either performs on grass.

3. No possible way a gyro could run down a LiPo in 2 minutes without melting. The problem must have been elsewhere.

2) The Avanti performs exceptionally well on grass, in fact I don't ever use take-off flaps (the only EDF I have that doesn't need take-off flaps), gets off in 70 feet or less.

3) Agree, no gyro will affect battery consumption
