Official Freewing 70mm F-16C Falcon V2 Thread

That is what I though. I remember hearing that on a H.H. Video.

[Evan D]

Oh, I think so. The FW is not.

[Iamrcpilot]

Unlimited vertical wow.
Was asking if anyone knows is the FMS and the e-flite F-16 70mm the same foam airframe, are the parts interchangeable?

Maiden flight of my F16 70mm today.

Marvelous flight. Skilled pilot. Wanna see more flight video.

I didn't find a thread for the eFlite F-16 70mm so here's a flightvideo of mine which I repainted into a Japanese F-2.

The video was recorded during a really nice EDF meeting in Venlo (NL) some weeks ago.

Enjoy!

Good looking F16 and smooth flying. Earlier this year I put aside my F16 in favour of other models but my uprated suspension arrived yesterday so its now ready for a re maiden on Monday. FMS 70mm 12 blade 3060 1900kv fan and flaperons. I use take off flaps off our grass runway.

Nice, and nice afterburner!

Nice flight! What did you do to create more airflow to the fan?

My Fw F16 with very high perfmance, dis som mods to it..

So, it seems I will have to relocate the ESC to the front to get a practical CG. The heaviest battery I'm going to use will almost get the right CG and that's moved as forward as possible. Don't mind doing this but I won't get the airflow I would in back. Not too worried about that though because it was forward in the V1 F-16 I had these components in and there were no ESC heating problems.

[Suprawill1]

Well, there you go. No doubt that's why you're having a CG problem.

Not sure which case you're referring to. The ESC, the EDF, the battery, the position of the ESC?

[kallend]

70mm RC Lander 2200kv EDF and a 100A ESC. Another difference is that I have a 3200mah which is probably lighter than the 4000 pack. A 4200 is on the way but in its own right is a bit light for its amperage. 440.4g as opposed to the 3200's 394.8.

[Suprawill1]

Leave the ESC, where it is is a good place in air flow for cooling. Moving it you'll need to do a lot of soldering too.

Agreed. It's where it is because of the cooling factor but I may have to move it forward if there continues to be a balancing problem. It was a hard decision between the two places because there were other concerns. Besides the balancing, it's prudent to have the motor wires long and the batt wires short. That way I wouldn't have to add caps.
Not afraid to solder but there's also crimp connectors.

[Suprawill1]

What have you got that's heavy back there? I have no trouble at all getting the CG in the right place with a 4000mAh pack, and it doesn't have to be all the way forward.

That would be more like a half inch, not 1 5/8". I had the wrong battery in it. A half inch is still too tail heavy for me. Any thoughts? Not trying to add more weight to balance it out.
