Official Freewing 70mm F-16C Falcon V2 Thread

Thanks! I went for the 6s one, wanted a little more power/speed. Second guessing my choice of the camo one, but Im sure Ill love it.

It was windy that day. It was even blown over taxiing on the runway. I will reserve my opinion for flight under fair weather conditions. Based on the videos of others on here it seems to be stable. My buddies were very surprised at the sound of the 70mm and even more surprised that it was only a 4s power system. The only changes I made when I got home was to setup flaperons on it. I also ordered a Gens Ace 5000mah battery to extend the flight time. On 3 min of flight, my battery was 3.79-3.8v per cell.

Nice, thoughts on the 70mm? Mine will be here today, watching it bobble around, I might have to put a gyro in it.

I just received the 90mm and the 70mm F-16 kits from MotionRC. Took the 70mm out this weekend, despite the overcast weather and 14mph winds. I threw on a cheap AIO fpv camera and flew it on low rates as I acclimate to the airframe. I am very pleased with it. Here is a video:

It'll work fine. You won't have to remove as much foam when installing.

What LED afterburner ring would fit in this? Link?

I installed these in two of my 70mm F-16's.

For the 4s version, would a bigger battery or higher C rating be more beneficial? Just a link to the battery on Motion would be helpful. Thanks.

Few photos of the F-16 and a photo with one of my buddies "Dale" last weekend when I visited my old field.

Ok thanks for your help!

Anytime:Cool:

Those are control surface hinges that can be added if you want...hardly anyone ever does.

I somehow fixed it by switching the aileron wires on the board to their opposite side, now the ailerons are functioning and I can switch them on my TX. Can you explain the purpose of the clear pieces?? Thanks

That's where I would start, that could have had one of them wrong on the board.

I just did, and they both work directly connected to the RX. It looks like I am going to have to reconnect all of the wires to the control board and try again even though I have not touched the control board out of the box.

Have you checked the aileron servos separately?

Thanks, I've triple-checked all of the connection points and everything is plugged in right...

Welcome to Hobby Squawk Marsmann! ...that sounds like one of the servo cables is plugged in backwards.

Setting up this jet, I have a few questions...
I am having trouble with the aileron servos, when they are plugged into the control board one is constantly twitching and the other is completely unresponsive. Maybe bad servos or a bad board...? There are a few pieces in the PNP kit that are not mentioned in the manual like the clear pieces and some small dowels... I don't know what they would be used for. Also, what type of wing/tail setup should I input this as in my Spektrum setup menu? Thanks for any help.
