1st Flights On The New Freewing F-16 V2 ✈️ The BEST Foam F-16 Version!
78The SUPERIOR F-16 Foam RC Jet Incarnation is here!! Watch me perform the first flights on my new F-16 V2, 8S 90mm EDF RC jet from Freewing! This jet truly kicks ass when compared to the smaller versions on the market such as the FMS 80mm or FW/ FMS 70 and 64mm versions... it has a lot more power and vertical performance, easier CG centering for an agile setup, more rudder authority for loaded roll maneuvers, more battery compartment space to install electronics and adjust battery size to your likings and just overall greater mojo to the competition!
This jet appeared in the market just about the same time I ordered the FMS one (just after I pulled the trigger to be precise). So I didn't get it straight away, but after 62 flights with the FMS 80mm one I sold it to get the Freewing version, as I'm partial to larger jets and 90mm EDFs in general. And hell, I am happy with the decision!! :DDD
So far, the only things I've seen the FMS 80mm being better at is being a bit more floaty (smaller wing loading) which made landings easier, and better knife edge flight, probably thanks to being lighter, as well. Other than that, the new FW 90mm version reigns supreme in my opinion! (No, I'm not sponsored).
I'm still just getting started with this model but I already flew some crazy post-stall maneuvers, but then, I messed up a high alpha flyby flying low to the deck and ate the dirt... No great damage thankfully, the jet has already been repaired and made another 4 flights!
With the FMS I kept saying... "If only it featured a bit more power (or a properly sized nozzle) and had more room to move the battery around to ensure a perfect CG"... well, the Freewing Viper fixed that for me! :D
This next-generation F-16C 90mm EDF from Freewing showcases a range of performance and design upgrades that elevate realism, flight capability, and convenience. Featuring a striking 64th Aggressors Livery, this model honors the distinguished 64th Aggressor Squadron, part of the legendary Aggressor program initiated in 1972. This squadron played a crucial role in training pilots through dissimilar air combat tactics, emulating potential adversaries.
These were flights 1sth to 5th on 'Willow', as I decided to name my second F-16 ;)
