Official Freewing 70mm F-16C Falcon V2 Thread

A little in-flight action, shot over the last few days. Starting to log some flights on this airframe and loving the way it looks and sounds. The armaments add a really nice tough-guy look to the airframe and the sound of the EDF is sensational! Photos shot by my daughter! ;)

Awesome shots! I got some flights with mine this weekend too. Used only the larger packs and was really happy with how it did!

Looks sweet Bajora. The photographer did a good job too. Might get to maiden mine next week. Weather has not been playing nice lately.

Thanks much Todd!

Gorgeous shots as usual my friend! Love the missiles!

Does it make a big difference placing the whistles on the intake over the exhaust? I'm planning to add them to my F-35.

Hey be sure to have your volume button handy because it gets a little loud.

Just when I thought I was done modding this this plane, I find this mod. Sounds great!

Hi gooniac. What's the weight of those 5800's? Would like to see if i could use the 4500's I've got for the f-16 instead of buying more new pack and sill make CG.

Hey welcome to the forum!! Here is a link to the 2 packs mentioned above and all the others that I have used.

Welcome Daneflyer! This is the best 70mm EDF jet I think I have ever flown. It's a ball. And yes, MUCH less stressful than the 90mm version. I hear ya about paychecks. Motion gives me one every two weeks, and I pretty much give it back to them! LOL

So I finally joined the band wagon and ordered this f-16. Ive already got the 90 mm version from Freewing along with the 80mm mig21. Will be nice to have a smaller, less stressful version to throw around the sky. I also have the mini avanti coming. I'm such an Edf addict!! Okay motion Rc, just take my paycheck.

I'll have two brand new 70c 6s 5000 Roaring Tops for sale in a couple weeks if you're interested? Great packs!

Yeah those are great packs indeed! I would rather use up that weight with capacity though. The 5800s are about the same weight and are still way above what it needs in discharge rate. Not to mention that they are also only $89 each.... keep me posted though and one of my buddies may want one...

I just put the 4000 in there and it was within the range in the manual. I never even checked the cg with the 5800 and it flew almost the same. Not as good for the nose high alpha stuff but the speed was incredible!! The extra capacity helped a lot with the voltage drop! I may need to get some Roaring top 5000s just for this plane...

[gooniac33]

Looks like it flew a little tail heavy. But love that high Alpha landing !!! :) Nice vid ...
.. Question - are you flying the C/G per manual with 4000's ?

Here is a flight from sunday. I was using a HUGE 6s 35c 5800 pack in this one and the plane didn't even notice the extra weight...
