I am absolutely stoked with this airplane. It flies fantastic and I am happy to share the content with you guys. Let me know when the comments below how I can make the videos better and what other jets I should review! 
Suite flight
Good job, I've got one coming next week. Great tips!
good video....but...just curious, you have the down votes deactivated on your video, dont you like feedback???
Actually, CZcams made it so you cannot see the amount of dislikes on a CZcams video
I have the high perf version, 8S and shes a winner. Very stable bird on all axis. But, true to the full scale, get too slow and its game over. Once she departs, its too late to recover.
good video mate, blue syks :)
Why delete the f18 video? I found it pretty helpful?
I am going to redo it later on. I didn’t feel like I got enough flight footage. And the video did not turn out as well as I hoped it to.
But don’t worry! I have around 10 other large scale EDFs that I need to do videos on!
It takes off beautifully flies, beautifully sweep, wings, beautifully, but coming in for that landing. You better have your A game on we have been experimenting with reflex on the ailerons and vortex generators for the tips if freeing would just redesigned that wing it would be the best flying airplane ever
It drops a wing violently because some idiot put a laminator flow air foil on the wingtips. This is a fatal flaw not only do you have to be an expert to land it will still bite you.
I know what this is but I've not heard any mention of it on this bird. I'll have to check it.
I love this Phantom, and it's going in my hanger. I have one question. As for visibility, do you think the CAMO scheme will show up better than the Ghost Grey scheme on days with little visibility, and gloomy, cloudy days?
Honestly, I’m not 100% sure the gray is not super difficult to see during cloudy days, but the camo might pop out a little bit more
@@Connorhola Thanks! I like the look of the CAMO, plus it has a contrasting white underbelly.
Last question, do you use a 7th channel for reverse thrust with the stock ESC?
@@davidgerlach1132 reverse thrust is definitely an option, but I am only running six channels so I do not have it plugged in
@@Connorhola Okay, last question. For some reason the Freewing T-45 Goshawk High Performance 90mm is catching my attention. A friend of mine that flies at the same club I do is tempting me with it, he has one of the older versions and swears by it. States the new V2 is the bomb! I really like the F-4D but the CAMO color scheme.
You're video was helpful in my decision to get one. That, plus I had a Viper 90 motor and ESC laying around. Lol
I should mention, on a hard landing, my elevator servo and one main retract servo fell off. There was no glue on those servos!!
That power system is excellent. It would do really well in the airframe.
Would you mind sharing your flaps settings of the Freewing F-4 please? From your NX6
Love your video! Are you able to add a business inquiry email address and country to your profile? Thanks.
Yep no problem!
Just added them to my description!
Awesome review, flying and photography! I love being able to see the jet actually fly!
Thanks man!
Nice review. Awesome plane. I have the 8s version cause for grass ops, which is pretty much required. Love it so much i have 3, one for static display in my office. You briefly touched on it, on the elevator I highly recommend changing out the servo and push rod. I had one crash on coming out of a nice lazy loop, and it went down hard. The elevator pushrod was bent pretty good, which forced the elevator in the down position. The servo i discounted at first because of the crash, of course, it was loose. Afterwards reading about alot of comments about the elevator. I went ahead and installed a Hi Tec HS - 5245 MG servo with a Du-bro 601 4-40 Spring steel quick link and 440 threaded rod. Oh and i just because went and epoxied the fuse together with the tail instead of just using foam tac. Yea overkill, but it's piece of mind. The elevators have amazing throw capability if you want cause they are huge. Other than that, great review, you will love this plane.
Very well flown great review
Thanks!
Nice review!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice review mate. Enjoyed your approach. Clear precise and lots of info/suggestions/opinions. Looking forward to more vids 🍻🇬🇧
I have so many other jets that I plan on making reviews on!
Great job on your review! Thanks for posting. Good to hear the latest 90mm motor combo is doing the job well. Btw, I didn’t catch your average fight times with your setup & flying style. Otherwise 👍🏾
Whoops totally forgot to include that I am landing at three minutes and 20 seconds of useful throttle time!
Brings back memories. Served in the USMC and worked on the F-4 as a fire control technician. Attached to VMFA-542 from its formation at MCAS El Toro, its deployment to Vietnam (April 1965 to Dec. 1965) and its disbandment at MCAS Iwakuni. As far as the model F-4... I find these EDFs just a bit too fast for my near 80-year-old eyesight and reflexes. 😢😊
That’s awesome! I would kill to get up close and personal to a operational F4. Glad you found my video!
Nice review young man
Thank you old sir!
Outstanding review and flight. Love the FW F4, have 2 of them now. PpJust finished an 8S Jolly Rodgers: czcams.com/video/o6u_Mst3XW4/video.html And coverted older F4 Blue Angel to 8S. czcams.com/video/eZSrFPS9Fz0/video.html 6 minutes on SMC HiV 5900. 😊 For grass ops, the way to go. The 8S likes it balanced at 200mm, were 6S was better at 195mm. 🤔
I definitely need to invest in some SMC batteries but I am tempted to paint mine as the blue angels! And thanks for yhe feedback back!
SMC is definitely the battery of choice for EDF's. Used to fly the 6S F4's on either the SMC 6200 or even better (lighter weight) on the 5900 HiV if your charger can go to 4.35 V per cell. The F4 Blue Angel is spectacular, a great scheme, you can see mine in the 2nd video above. Callie graphics, an easy repaint. 😊
Freewing owes us$500 and an apology.
How come? Mine flies Excellent I can’t find too much wrong with it other than it’s kind of tricky on landings.
@@Connorhola Apparently lots of troubles with wing sweep, one wing sweeping back and crashing is what I've been hearing.
@@nomadrc6036 I did have that problem, but it was only because the wing sweep was plugged into the flap channel once I put it into a seventh channel the issue resolved itself
I like the comment other than tricky on the landings landing is everything who cares what is doing in the sky if you can’t get it on the ground in one piece
The simultaneous sweep and roll was super cool!
Thanks Man!!
You showed the CG location but do you know what’s the measurements? Book says CG at 190mm from the leading edge of the wing
Yep, that corresponds to where I pointed out on the bottom of the wing
@@Connorhola cool!! Thanks 🙏🏻
Kudos for sticking it out. I've already been put off on this one.
Rock on!
Caution with using C G on wings. The fuselage is more accurate due to wings ability to move.
It’s Really accurate as long as the wings are out and the gear is down!
🤦♂️😆
Nice work, man! It's good to see more success stories with this fantastic airframe. 🧡
Thanks man! Love to see you found my video!
Good job 👏 time to upgrade your radio so you can use a 10 channel. 😊
Yep I plan on getting the NX10 with in a few days!
what is expo?
The trouble with online forums are that one cannot pick up on sarcasm or the intention of the individual behind the post. If you’re being sarcastic, I get it. Please disregard the rest of this comment if that was your intention. Now, if you were actually wondering what expo is, computerized radios such as the Spektrum DX6E, DX8,or NX10 (as well as other Spektrum radios and other brands) have the option to limit the response sensitivity on your flight control stick. Expo can be a “taboo” in RC as it hasn’t always been around and in a hobby dominated by those born into balsa wood, glow plugs, and transmitters requiring a HAM radio license, new technology can be looked down upon by those who learned to fly with no gyro and think stabilizers are for inept pilots. Hence my initial comment above. Now to explain Expo in depth. (Keep in mind all numbers you see are assuming your Dual Rates are set to 100%. With a certain percentage of Expo, if you move your aileron stick to +50 (right roll, halfway between neutral stick and full right deflection) your aileron would only deflect to 25 percent. Yet, in this same configuration, +100 (full right roll) would result in near 100 percent deflection. I say ‘near’ because - at least for Spektrum - it tends to shave off a few millimeters of deflection on the control surface at max stick. The term “Expo” is short for “exponential” as it makes your controls more forgiving at the center more and normal towards the ends. As the curve races to catch up from +50 = 25% deflection to +100 ≈ 100% deflection, you could see +80 = 75% aileron deflection but at +90 see a 87% deflection. There’s generally a graph in the transmitter menu which shows these values based on your desired expo value. I use 30% expo value as a baseline. Works pretty well for my style of flying. I prefer Expo over SAFE as safe limits your flight envelope, while expo allows for full control and yet gives you more forgiving control so long as you keep the stick close to the center. Phew! That was long. If you made it this far, congratulations! Hope this helps, and like I said, if you did intend it as a sarcastic joke, well then hopefully the lecture didn’t put you to sleep!
@@aerospacematt9147 thanks for replying always wondered what is was but dont think Ill use it,
Well Done ! Love the insight! Great Piloting !
Thanks!
Sweet video! Great to see you rip it around. Love your flying field.
Thanks man appreciate it!
I have a ton of 90m free wing jets that will be in future reviews! I’m a huge fan of motion Rc!
Nice video and flying
Thanks man!
Great vid mate. I’ve been on the fence with this one as there are plenty of crash vids out there but yours is changing my mind. Thanks for talking through you landings and setup. Cheers!
Of course man! That’s what my channel is for!
Simple and too the point!!! THANK YOU!!! Nice flying and I will use these settings as my baseline throws! I used more expo than you do but the throw should be perfect as a starting point!
No problem man happy my first video could be such a help!
I have plenty more flight reviews coming of bigger jets, so stay tuned for those!
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!

Where are you placing the RX antennaes?
One is going straight back and the other is going 180° to the nose
