Official Freewing 70mm Rebel V2 Thread

Robotboi Charles Scott @ Ron1950 For you Rebel pilots out there, do you think a new scheme would broaden the appeal on our Rebel V2? I think it would, but just haven't had the time to get around to redesign.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a GREAT flying airframe, even mine flying on a heavy 6s setup, still has great flight characteristics. But, the scheme is lacking and dated!

love that paint job fast eddie… I was lazy and took the basic paint job from someone else over on rcg I like the way it turned out though

Hey Charles! Welcome to Squawk. Can you refresh my memory on which Motor and ESC are in the Rebel you have? The Rebel now comes with a 12 blade fan already as you can see in the spare parts section on our EU site here: https://www.motionrc.eu/collections/...pare-parts-tab

Thank you James. The motor is 2839-3200 kv , but I am unable to give you the ESC spec as the label has been cut off it by a previous owner ; I have no idea why

I got my Rebel a few years ago in a trade with my flying buddy. I flew it a couple times on 4s and it was quickly upgraded to a 6s setup. Flew it for about a year and a half and the motor smoked in flight. I don't even remember what setup that was, just something I had laying around I think. After that, I put a 13bl XRP setup in it and it is just a blast to fly. 2210w and 100A make it pretty sporty! Flat and level radared at 128mph. But, she's had a long, hard life and deserved a little love, so she got a quick repaint! Nothing fancy but it looks better now and is just too much fun with that setup in it. I am 100% sure one day I will over stress the airframe or a control surface and she'll be no more, but I am enjoying it while it lasts!

Good evening all, from the UK. I am renovating a badly crashed Rebel, and thought I should like to fit a 12 blade fan instead of the 6 blade. Can I simply fit a replacement using the old motor and ESC or is that too easy!?

Really a great flying EDF. I upgraded fan and esc. Flying it on 6S 3-4000mah batteries. Gets the blood pumping!

[Robotboi]

Thought I would contribute my version of the Rebel.

[Skyboom]

Looks good in the picture. It has its unique character.

[TangoVector]

Well, I decided to "improve" my Rebel with a new paint-scheme. That did not turn out too well, but it was fun, since I haven't done this before.

[TangoVector]

Successful maiden!

It was almost too dark, but all went well, very easy handling jet! Happy days!

decals are still in chi town tonight which is the 19th asked motion when do u declare that they are lost in the mail and was told they have to wait 14 business days before they can replace them...wonder if Saturdays count as a business day with the post office as they are open... why does this always happen when you are waiting on stuff to finish a project? lol

[Ron1950]

ordered decals on the 7th … shipped on the 9th ,,

and they are still in Chicago on the 15th ,,

we have such a great postal system

a guy over on rcg showed his new paint job on his rebel ..it looked so good and I had nothing better to do so I stripped the decals that were left on mine ( package tape takes them
off with no sweat at all) and taped it off and painted mine similar to his..waiting on some decals just to dress it up some.. cant take credit for the style but I am happy with it.

Looks real good Ron!

So, I have a couple of 4S 2.7-3Ah batteries with good C-rating needing something to power. :Confused:
After a browse around I have now ordered the Rebel, looking forward to see it perform as an semi-advanced trainer for a very good price. :Cool:
