    Our field is so rough that the best way to fly the Freewing Arctic F-16 is designing and using a bungee launcher. Lemon non gyro RX, Admiral 6s 4000, and lot's of fun. Jeff in Lower Alabama Let's Go Flying...

    Hugh, Won't have that info until I finish the wiring setup. Want to tidy that up with a printed plate possibly and might need to add an Arduino Mini Board for the lighting and Nose Gear sequencing. So really the aesthetics are finished, but the 'running gear' is not. Also, might need some input from your build with CG. Hoping not to have to add weight and she sits on her tail without some forward ballast, so I figure that is a good thing. I will let you know. Best. Steve

    Incredible, definitely worth the long hours. Looking forward to the flight report. BTW, curious as to where you ended up balancing it at?

    FPV-ing the Su-35 in the rain... because flying in good weather is too mainstream!

    Hi James:-)

    That is a good bench tip that I myself had not thought of. I am going to do that.

    Thank you and Many Happy Landings:-)

    Hi!

    This is not so much about the picture but more about something to make life easier.

    I have a tip for all new and old pilots getting in to 6S models that I think should be mentioned on the show: Make yourself an approx 1ft, or more, battery-cable with a smaller connector at one end and the 6S battery connector at the other end. Then you can use smaller batteries when working on the model on the bench. I use 3S or 4S depending on what is at hand. It will cycle the gear, you can set throws and test everything you need, also throttle at low rpm. This takes away the hassle of having to work with and connect/disconnect big 6S batteries indoors. With a longer cable the battery can rest on the bench and out of the way. I use XT90s on my 6S batteries and XT60 on my smaller ones, so the picture is a FW Su35 on its back with a 1800mah/4S XT60 battery on the bench connecting to the XT90 in the model.

    Use it if you want to, at least it has made my life easier.

    And for all the Mig29 guys: Get yourself a Y-cable from one battery connecting to both ESCs, and the calibration will be as simple as on a single engine model.

    Cheers!
