I'm still debating. I'll hold until both are out, but I'm very on the fence from what I've seen. There is no doubt that the Freewing will be better for guys with grass fields, and will probably fly better due to the lower wing loading and larger size. However, I am kind of a nut when it comes down to the scale detail, and I don't have much space in the hangar. The scale LG struts and beautiful gear door systems on the FMS, as well as the smaller size would be more suited to what I'm looking for. The 12 blade fans will also have a nice static appearance on the ground. The initial price and the freewing is much better value, but throw in a $30 scale nose strut (if it is even made), plus a $35 weapons package, plus twin batteries all adds up quick. Like I said, I'll wait until both are out to decide, but its going to be a very tough choice.

There are pros and cons of every model we sell, whether the same size category, same type of aircraft (or different), or the same aircraft itself just a different price point, feature set, detail level, etc. As always we encourage pilots to weigh all options in the context of their personal preferences. With so many possible options out there these days, I think most people can find something that suits their overall needs.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Hi Weedsnager, the Freewing twin 80mm A-10 uses two 6s 4000s, like the twin 80mm F-14. It has space for 5000s or even 6000s, but we've flown it mostly on 4000s.
