Official Freewing 80mm EDF F-86 Sabre Thread

Yes, it is the same fan/housing combination but with a 1850kV motor.

Exactly what I installed with a castle 100. Plus, I added 2.5 Dubro lite treaded tires and moved one original main to the front. I love it!

is that a4 upgrade the metal shrouded fan? the f86 fan weighs a ton!!!

I think the ARF+ was discontinued. I flew my F-86 with the A-4 power system and it was definitely an improvement in power as expected. Flew great. Better climb out and top end. Almost jumped off the grass runway at George's place. I flew it with a RT 6250 battery.

I was wondering about a arf+ f86 after I screwed up yesterday and went a little too far on downwind and turned base into a tree lol got all the electromics for a arf plus but just had to order a new pnp f86 love this plane...flys too good to not have one

I love the F-86. A few at our field and they fly so nice. Been hoping MRC would add an ARF+ version like Castle RC. That way, I could re-use one of my 80mm setups.

HA! Dave I think I got one of the last few available ARF+ birds back when they had a big closeout sale on them. I snagged it for $169 and I was ecstatic!

The F-86 is such an awesome plane. I just dropped the A-4 power system in mine to give it a try. A pilot error mishap at Nall with my Green Knights A-4 :Loser: allowed for the conversion. I hope to try it out this weekend.

I finally saw a FreeWing F-86 in person. When I was picking up my F-5 my buddy had one. Add that to the bucket list. Totally would do a Golden Hawk paint scheme.

After looking at a few of these edfs and hearing them, I might get a couple, if I make it through tonight...

Be careful, I told Steve that "I probably won't get into jets" about a year ago and now I have over 20 of them:Silly:

LOLI think I can afford one more this season:Confused: LOL

I just started flying EDFs about 3 weeks ago So after this small clip of my maiden I upgraded to 2 1/4 in dubro lite treaded wheels on mains and moved one original main on front gear. I went with a 1850kv with a castle 100 esc. Hope to fly this weekend with better take off results :)

[Helmsman52]

Did my maiden on mother’s day and it was an uneventful moment once airborne, flying off grass.
I am using the admiral 4000 with the tail sit cg and no issues.
I am thinking about switching to the 1800kv being that I have a castle 100 esc lying around and maybe some different tires to help get off the grass sooner... any suggestions? Thanks

[rifleman_btx]

That's a good looking bird

Sunday flyer. Hot temps here in tx guy with camera saying lower. Lower lol

[Ron1950]

had a club event with a radar gun to see who had the fastest plane...I don't have any really fast planes so just took out my standard plane the f86 and the t1... pic is at 131 in the dive but settled to 90 after leveling off...fastest of the day was a small racer plane at 140 but last week a guy had a 201 mph run but couldn't make it saturday
