Official Freewing 80mm Avanti S Sport Jet Thread

[MetallDanny]

This is my First Freewing Jet and really enjoying this Avanti v2!!
I fly with a 5000 100c smartpack
and Spektrum AR737T

my as3x numbers are
Roll 24%
Pitch 46%
Yaw 36%

The Avanti V2 is great to fly. I put a Kingtech K45G4 turbine in mine so there is more than enough power when/if necessary.
I found it hard to transport the model safe, so I designed a holder/stand for the model. Now it sits fine both at home and in the car during transport. I uploaded the files to thingiverse so if you got a 3d printer you can print them yourself.

Everybody use the CG from the book?

[Evan D]

I don't think anyone does.

[MetallDanny]

I don't think anyone does.

Ohh OK.. so only me 🤣🤣
So you shift the CG way back .. do you have any numbers?

[Evan D]

You can move it back so far the plane won't even rest on it's nose gear and still fly it. I suggest move back a little at a time and try it .

Most everyone starts at the book value but ends up with their balance further aft.

Thanks for the Reply Evan D
I pushed the battery a few inches back (step by step) and the Avanti flies a lot easier with no throttle. I think the Avanti was a little bit to much nose heavy 😅😅

A friend of me printed a landing support for the Avanti v2

[Coconut]

A few inches?

[MetallDanny]

A few inches?

Haha -> 45mm = 1.78 inch
sorry other units of measurement always confuse me

My CG is at 120mm. Can't go further back as the battery (4500mAh) sits at the rear wall already. Flies perfectly.
Ah, do NOT use the control throws from the manual either. They're way too aggresive.
Those from this video work perfectly

I like more than the book throws… we all have our preferences.

yes had the same experience with the Ailerons on high rates ., it was like a DrillingMachine. To much for me 😄 🤣
I put them on 82% (10% expo)

And CG is same like you 120mm with a
6s 5000 100c Spektrum smart pack 700gr

Flies & lands like a Dream!
(But i'm still a Rooki .. need a lot more flighthours )

[MetallDanny]

Is it possible to grease the inside from the Nose Landing Strut ? 🤔

[Grossman56]

Interesting. While out of stock, the price was posted at $325. Now that it's back in stock its $399 an increase of $74.
Hmmm...

[Evan D]

Those happen to be the prices for the arf plus and the PnP…

After 110 flights it went to hangar for rest, then Freewing T45 got its turbine time, and then Mig21....
now it is winter and grass is not great, so avanti time again :)

but changed livery a bit not to get bored with old white one...

Outstanding, but then I'm kinda partial to the Tiger Scheme.

Thought it is time I added the Avanti to my hanger ,after everyone really rates this model.Now I have a problem .Freewing have brought out the 90mm Zeus .Mmmm Avanti or Zeus ??????
I like problems like this

[Evan D]

I like the Avanti more. The Zeus (8S) is quick and quiet, but the new 2150 makes the Avanti very fast too and the Avanti is more agile.
