    Awesome James, just preordered my ARF so I can put my own electronics in it. This BA is long overdue.

      David Kristy haha same for me...started 2 months ago with Freewing Stinger 90mm Deluxe, then Freewing F-22 Raptor 8S and yesterday Freewing F18 64mm...I’m afraid I’m falling in love with EDF🙈😉

    The only thing I didnt like was the quality or lack of with the clevis. They didnt even include fuel tub pieces to secure the arms. I beefed all of mine up and now they wont detach and there is zero slop. Other than that, the quality is outstanding.

      nothing about this blue box changes the function of the gyro. Just take the aileron, elevator and rudder lead that come out of the blue box and put them into the gyro first and then to the RX. no difference

    • @racerx600rr
      @racerx600rr Před 5 lety +1

      Gavin Wilkins yes it is referred to as a LEX. The term wing root glove comes from the F-14 tomcat, referring to the same area that the hornet calls the LEX. The tomcat calls it a glove for obvious reasons and that term has been used, albeit incorrect, for the same area on the hornet.

    I heard somewhere you could put an 80mm EDF in this bird. I wrecked a competitive brand 80mm Jet, and I was wondering if it really was possible to put an 80 in here and how that would effect the CG?

    • @MotionRC
      @MotionRC  Před 2 lety

      Yes it can fly on an 80 and comes with an adapter to make it fit. We have seen some customer videos of it flown on the 80

      @@MotionRC I somehow get the feeling like I'm in the minority on wanting to see things like that. I think most people will be happy with the stock setup and aim to just get that. So it's probably not a big deal to most customers if you don't show this stuff. I couldn't blame you for not thinking to do it. But since there is a smaller minority of folks like myself who will want to do 8S or just use other equipment. It's a really great thing that you engage with your customer base in this way and are willing to take the extra time and put in that effort for us. Thank you.

    • @MotionRC
      @MotionRC  Před 5 lety

      yes they are, but those are easily customizable. When making an RC model we have to pick and choose the amount of features we can include. Every addition adds cost. So there is a balance that has to be had.
