That was fun to watch and the engine and after burner effects are the best I've seen. Are those flaps or airbrakes :rolleyes: , those babies look like they're 90 degrees to the wing!

I just got my feet wet today with my first ducted fan (Freewing 80mm F-86) and it was a blast!!

Glad you enjoyed it. I started out on RC Helicopters then went to foam warbirds and then composite and foam jets up to 90mm. Welcome to the world of foam jets.

What c rating Lipo are you using with the Cyclone? My only  experience with a Cyclone EDF Motor is it discharges at a very high level, and left the Bat very hot. If you are not using a quality  Lipo with a high C rating it will not last long.

At 45C The 2.5 minute flight left the battery slightly warm and the remaining voltage was 23.5 volts as I remember. With only a 70mm EDF I find these results typical.

One of the coolest and best sounding aircraft ever!! Even though it's just the turbine sound, I still want it!! Especially with an 90-20. (Top-landing speed)

RE: Freewing F-104 Starfighter

Hi John, we should have them in about one week, perhaps the week after that.

RE: Freewing F-104 Starfighter

The Kit+ currently shows as In Stock on MRC. Did it just go up today? I really need to order one and move my existing power plant over from my beater. I had a few unfortunate mishaps that were not the fault of the jet and she's pretty ugly right now. Besides, I fogot to order a nose gear cover for my F-5, and I just HATE to pay for shipping. :D

Oh what the heck. I just ordered the Kit+! :D

RE: Freewing F-104 Starfighter

You and I must have had the same economics professor! I'm going broke spending $100 plus to save $5!

All the best,
Konrad

RE: Freewing F-104 Starfighter

LOL! Yeah, whenever I wasn't ordering a kit and needed some parts, I'd throw an Admiral lipo into the order to get it over $100! :D
[hr]
Man, MRC is awesome! Only 38 minutes from order to shipping notice!

[crxmanpat]

Got my Kit+ yesterday and swapped over the fan/ESC from my first one. All I have left to do is set up the control surfaces and I'm ready to rock and roll again!

[Alpha]

I really enjoy the convenience of the KIT+ variants for exactly this reason. Good luck on your re-maiden. May it live a long second life!
