I had to order the 4S version. I wanted the ARF Plus as I have the inrunner 70mm fan and 130A ESC for it already. Oh well, I will just have a 4S fan and 50A ESC sitting around collecting dust!! Thanks guys, I can't wait to get this bird to the field and watch jaws drop!!:cool:
Go with the Hobbywing 80. It's almost half the weight and VERY well built ; )

130 amp ESC? That's a lot of dead weight right there...

My F-104 was getting around 110mph, the F-16 has a little more girth, but should give about the same performance. Two Admiral 40C 3700mAh, 3S in series for power.

HET/Wemo vs Freewing Pro
Hi folks,
I have just done some tests for the Freewing Pro setup vs. a HET 1W40 powering a 70mm wemo Pro fan in an all alloy Extreme RC housing.
NOTE: the Extreme alloy housing did NOT have an inlet lip so you should add 15% to its thrust figs.
The tests were done on my test jig and not mounted in the airframe.
The same Hobbywing Platinum Pro 100amp ESC was used and the same 6S 60C battery was topped up between runs
HET/1W40 3300kv
Peak amps 99
Peak watts 2217
Ah 0.135
Wh 3.0
Thrust 1800gms +15%= 2070gms to allow for no inlet lip
Freewing Pro setup 2300kv
Peak amps 75
Peak watts 1742
Ah 0.107
Wh 2.4
Thrust 2160 gms
Conclusion: Freewing have done a great job matching the fan/mtr. The HET Wemo setup is pretty close for thrust but certainly an "amp hog" compared to Freewing
So its stay with the Freewing setup for me.
