Freewing 90mm F-16 - Thoughts anyone?

[F106DeltaDart]

Haha! I love it... Now the MIG21 is possibly the ugliest plane I've ever seen lol

Have you ever seen the X-32? ;)

[Alpha10]

No thank you, I don't want nothing to do with that ugly thing. Glad you guys enjoy it but it does nothing for me, glad Freewing makes all kinds of these EDF jets, because we don't like all the same ones...lol

Agreed on the T-45. It looks great on the ground and flying scale, but it needs some serious upgrading of the power system to be a good flyer. With full flaps and gear down, it needs full power to stay in the air.

The best part about flying that plane is taking off and landing. Landing with high alpha....the plane looks great, and it's really fun and challenging to master.

All planes require adapting to their flying characteristics. My buddy flies his T-45 with none of the issues noted!! It has more power than all but the Venom in stock set up!! I will need to get a video of this one as well....

Get a 1550kv Venom... That'll change haha!

I have a Leopard 4082 Inrunner in a Freewing Inrunner housing that would be at home in that plane. It made my F-15 a rocket and could work wonders with the venom!! If I had room for the plane I would get it!! But the next on my list is the T-45....

Nice! Yeah, the T-45 is a great plane, but it needs 8s to move decently and even still, it's draggy and heavy. (Not as bad as the 90mm F-16 though)

I love my gorgeous T-45, but if I had to chose between the two if wouldn't even be debatable. : )

[gooniac33]

Yeah man! It loves thrust so 12 blade setups are best... Higher rpm speed setups like JetFan, WemoEvo, and Schubies don't really transfer over too well in the Venom.

You should definitely pick one up!

They're so versatile, it's insane. I can practically hover and still do 125mph with my latest Red Swiss Venom and setup. :)

After seeing one with the 1450kv motor... I was super impressed!! My 1600kv inrunner set up would make this plane even more of a rocket ship!!!

Sorry about getting off topic and onto batteries. Out of all the EDF jets I have and have flown, the F-16 is still my favorite to fly, period....

Might have to try one of those as well.. I have been using the Revo Gopacks 5800s and have been having great performance with them as well.

Guys, just tried a new battery for the first time in my FW 90mm F-16, I was using Pulse 5000 45c lipos before and still do, but right around Christmas time when my wonderful wife asked me what I wanted, I told her to get me one Gensace/Tattu 5000 60c. Today I put it in my TBird F-16 and all I can say is, Wow. It flew way faster with authority, think I will order a couple more. I got easy 3 minutes of some full throttle fun and then some slow flight high alpha flybys. I landed with the cells at 3.79 and just slightly warm, so I may have found a better battery for the F-16, Eurofighter, T-45, these three 90mm jets were hard on my Pulse 5000 45c lipos if you pushed them too much, but I love my Pulse batteries, they have held up very well. You want another crazy thing, the Gensace/Tattu 60c 5000 is smaller and lighter than the Pulse 45c 5000, so I knew this and slid the battery forward about 5mm and it flew perfect, I just love flying the F-16...............;).

Nice! I've been wanting to try them out. Hmm...

[DCORSAIR]

Let me tell you this, I wasn't sold on them at first, I have two brand new Gensace/Tattu 60c 5000 packs and when they arrived the cells were not even close to the same, but after a few cycles they are slowly coming around and are showing good numbers, now my Gensace/Tattu 45C 5000 arrived with perfect balanced cells. We will see over time if they hold up, also think this is going to be a great battery for the F-5..........;)

I've thought about getting some Gens Ace 5000mah, 6s for my F-16 for the coming season. However, some of my flying buddies say that all of their Gens Ace batteries went like gangbusters the first year, then after that, they all dropped off performance to the point they threw them away. Mind you, those guys were using the smaller 2200mah, 3s ones. I'm also considering getting the latest generation of Revolextrics Graphene batteries or the Turnigy Graphene. I've been using the Turnigy ones for a year now and they've been pretty good. The Gens Ace are the least expensive for the time being.

Gens Ace packs must be flown to be appreciated!! I have had several and just got some new ones too. And to top it off they are really light too! Most of the 25c packs are actually stronger than many 40c on the market. I am totally sold on Gens Ace and get them whenever I have an excuse to...LOL

Thanks. I'd like to stay with the gray and keep it scale looking as much as possible. That's the combat scheme, so I think that's the choice.

Now, if someone would just make a 90mm or 80mm F-35 and a 90mm F-22, that would be amazing!

Thanks!

We can only hope, but I think we'll see a 90mm F-22 pretty soon! :)

Like gooniac33 said, you can't go wrong with either one but I will say this, the white turns yellowish over time, and some say its easier to see, I like the gray and with the missiles and all that loaded on it, I think it's easier to see than the TBird. Get the gray, you will love flying it with the missles, yeah, it's no barn burner loaded up but it sure looks good.
