FREEWING J-10A ✈️ One of the BEST PICKS for Delta Wing Jet Enjoyers!
54A few more cool flights with the chinese Death Dorito!!! ✈ ️ The FREEWING 90mm EDF J-10 is an absolutely fantastic RC Jet, one of the best picks if you like delta wing style fighter jets! Freewing nailed this release, providing us with an absolute banger of a model aircraft, this jet just flies phenomenal!! It may be slightly harder to land as it comes in faster compared to other jets like the FW 90mm Eurofighter or the FMS 80mm Rafale, and the narrower landing gear also make it tip over more easily, but this 8S version provides just a lot of thrust to work with and makes the flights really enjoyable! High alpha performance is pretty good and watching those huge canards move while flying slowly by is pure visual poetry! It's also easier to get a decent CG on this one without adding a truckload of tail ballast, which is a great plus in my books. The canard servos suck though. :/
Here are a few points that make it unique: it features full span split elevons, giving it more authority for extreme post-stall maneuvers and does better knife edge than most jets of this type. It does really shine in high alpha stability and performs really decent flat spins even without a thrust vectoring nozzle. It takes-off and lands very easy but it's easy to capsize on the ground though if you are not careful because of the narrow wheel base.
I already liked the plain grey military version but this August 1st aerobatic demo team scheme is a thing of beauty!
This jet had been in my crosshairs for a while now, but the pricetag hold me from pulling the trigger for a while. But I just recently got a really good deal for it on AliExpress and had to immediately pull the trigger.
Flight features aside, this jet is truly outstanding as a scale model, with a plethora of scale details and with the possibility of installing a lot of ordnance, including 2 external fuel tanks and 4 missiles! That's also one of the reasons I wanted to get the jet... it looks gorgeous in the air showing off with all the underslung ordnance installed!
These were flights 6th to 8th on 'Fei', as I ended up naming her. ;)

Ground video: Luis Ibáñez
Airfield: RACBSA
J-10 SPECS:
Wingspan: 940mm
Length: 1530mm
Flying Weight: 3800g aprox
Ducted Fan: 90mm, 12 blade
Motor: 8S Brushless inrunner 4075 - 1350kv
ESC: Freewing 120A w/ Thrust reversing
UBEC: Turnigy 8-15A
Servos: Replaced the canard servos by Hobbyking HK922 ones, which have better resolution, but the centering is poor so I'll change them too, left everything else stock.
Receiver: FrSky X8R
Main battery: HRB 2x 4S (8S) 4200mAh
Receiver battery: CNHL 2S 650mAh
Gyros:
GWS PG-03 on the canards
HobbyEagle A3Mini for elevons and rudder
SETUP:
Elevons worked together in pitch, but only the outer part does roll. Canards work only in pitch, Rudder does rudder. Full throws everywhere, huge expo (around 70-85%). Canard is mostly driven by the PG-03 gyro at full gain unless I make harsh inputs. I left the mixing board in this time in order to be able to apply the gyro corrections to all the elevon servos (A3Mini has limited output options). Pilot figure removed. Wires tidied up and one 4S battery slammed all the way back in the foam cavity aft of the battery compartment. I power the electronics from a separate 2S Li-Po through a TGY 8A UBEC. The HobbyEagle gyro has more moderate gains on all control surfaces in rate mode. CG is currently roughly about 20-30mm behind the wing molded CG marks... and that's about it! More info soon... (maybe). ^^
