I’ve always liked the typhoon. Having owned many Freewing jets, decided to move away from the three minute styrofoam” flights. I was also running Schubeler 12 blade fans which sound great, but eat batteries. 10 blades in most cases give you better performance and flight times. On my F-16 90mm, I made a system where the cheater holes opened at low speed/throttle and closed at high speed. This gave me an overall better top speed but also gave me engine performance on takeoff, landing and alpha passes. The belief is that on fast clean passes, the airflow entering the cheater vents was causing turbulence in front of the fans. Closing them at high speeds prevented this and thus almost 15 mph more was achieved flat and level. Good flight and nice scheme. I like that you flew with your ordnance.
Very nice looking Jet. The SMC 5300 battery is my choice as well seem to be plenty of power for that 90mm. Great landing even with out the speed brake on the 1st flight. Awesome 2nd flight. Thanks for sharing.
The CG in the book is incorrect. Add an extra 50 to 100g weight in the tail depending on your battery, flairs better on landings and the high Alpha is much better. I'm running a 6000 pack with 100g in the tail. I do have a video posted if interested to see.
Got the home Depot color match for my airbrush. I sanded the number area and painted over just that area. I wish they didn't add those decals. What a pain to cover up.
On my rate switch (B), I have low rates (~75%) with AS3X, high rates (100%) with AS3X, and high rates (100%) with SAFE mode. The 100% in SAFE mode will give me the full 85° bank angle limit I use on my EDF's. I set my expos to 1/4th or 1/3rd of whatever the rate is. So if the rate is 100%, I'll set the expo to either 25% or 33%. The larger the control surface, the more expo I'll use. On my EDF's, I've gotten to where I take off and land in SAFE mode. On maiden flights, I'll start shooting approaches at or before the 2 minute warning so that I get at least 3 chances to land it safely. This week, I've been having a blast with a new E-flite EC-1500 V2. I've only been flying R/C for 60 years and it's still fun.. 🤠
@@mrt10352 I normally start with 30% for roll, 40% for pitch, and 50% for yaw and set the gain sensitivity to X1. See some of my AS3X/SAFE videos. Setting the gain too high can be disastrous and if it’s too low, it just doesn’t smooth the bumps out enough.
Do you currently have this bird on Craigslist? There's one listed in Knoxville with a half a Red Baron theme. I figure that is one heck of a coincidence if it's not this one.
@@BDTennessee cool. A fair price as well. I'm waiting to see how hard Ms. Santa went at it this year to see if I still have a hobby budget lol. If I do I'll contact him through the ad. Thanks.
I hear some people say that sometimes Freewing's esc thinks that the HV SMC batteries are 7S instead of 6S. And you should turn off the LVC in the ESC. Can it be turned off with Freewing's ESC Programming Card?
Nice flight good information! I'll try and make sure I pass it on to my buddy who just started flying his. I'm gonna have to try and find a way to make it out to Knoxville Tennessee. Tol see if I can video you guys! well at least that's the dream LOL 😊 czcams.com/video/nYj4Uer4hHc/video.html

Well done Team BD!
Thanks Mike! 👍
Awsome aircraft.
Thanks again.🇬🇧
Thanks SM!
Also smart no bs i also appreciate your work
Thanks charles!
What a great looking plane BD.. Thanks for sharing..
Appreciate the comment!
Thanks lads .My second flight tomorrow. Interesting facts . 👌🇬🇧
Let me know how it goes!
Amazing aircraft.TRY
A spot of Treadmill oil
on each wheel shaft
Stops the vibration noise
when taxiing along the runway.

Very nice. Does motion still sells 6s? I only saw 8s

You take off with the speed brake and don't land with it???
Is this the newest version? I just got one in the box still. Need this weather to get better!!
Yes newest version. I flew this plane few times now. Agile but feels heavy compared to some others.
Thanks. I can’t wait to try mine out. I went 8s tho. Good stuff
No CG issues
After more flights. Nose heavy CG for most 5000 with stock location.
@@BDTennessee so did you address it or fly it 170 gram nose heavy

Thanks! Field is KCRC - Knox Country radio Control in Knoxville,TN
Haven't made my way to servo mixing yet, I have a 70mm super hornet and she's not good for turning when in roll. Does servo mixing help with thi?
Mixing allows for unlocking of many things. "Describe what you mean by turning when in roll?"
What are your AS3X settings? I just maiden mine on 8s and it seemed really wobbly! But then again it was a bit breezy (12-17 mph).
Mike used stock values with 2X multiplier.
Hello brother what cg are u using.cheers from dubai
Hey Melvin! Stock CG for maiden. Additional flights moved back around 10mm aft.
