- This was not the typical maiden weather, but she handled it okay. I believe with some modifications to the CG, higher rates on the elevator, and a lighter battery that, she will fly better. She is a light bird, after all. I got this jet for a very low price used, so I can not have extremely high expectations with it. The gear issue is common on this jet, from what I am told. Overall this was an “okay” maiden. I like this jet as I flew the 64mm a few years ago when I first got into the hobby. This one needs some better gear! Thank you all for the continuous support that we get from you guys every day! Ashley and I hope that you all had an amazing new year and that this year brings many opportunities.

It's great seeing you take to the skies again!
Thanks man! Felt good to be back up, just need to get the issues resolved. Cheers!
Glad to see another brother in the hobby
For sure bro!! Cheers 🤙🏽👊🏽
You ll get er dialed in! With that weather, not a bad maiden at all! I'm several hrs south an its been cold! Thanks for sharing✌️
Thanks man! Some new gear and a lighter battery and we should be golden! Cheers
a cold day ! good looking plane 👍👍
Yes indeed cold!! Thank you for watching!
Love your energy Che
Great maiden Che. Ashley always enjoying the video. This Old Man from Washington NC has really enjoyed watching y'all grow in our Hobby. Love you two ✈️🧔💝💝
Thank you John! We really appreciate the support we get from you!
Love it bro ! Plane looks awesome!
Thanks bro!! This one was fun! I cant wait to get her adjusted and back up again!
Nice maiden guys!!
Thank you! Cheers
A buddy brought the F-86 out about a month ago. He said it flew great, very solid. (I expect nothing less from Freewing. Every one of their jets I’ve bought are just a joy to fly)
Nice man thanks for sharing!
Nice Che! That’s a nice one for sure 🙌🏼
Thanks bro!! Lighter pack next time!
Nice maiden even with the conditions you flew in bruh 💪🏾💯
Thanks man! Cant wait for the light to be around a little longer. Cheers to you and yours down in Florida!
Burr! Nice Maiden Man! You will get her dialed in Im sure😊
Hope so! Sorry I missed this one!
DAMMM. 10 Degrees. That's pretty cold. Awesome to see the DYNAMIC DUO out for some flying. Dial that beast in and it'll fly awesome great to see you two 😀 👍🏻
You got that right! Glad to see you too man cheers and have a great night!
Good work Team Hamilton. The jet did not like the cold weather any more than I do. It's a beautiful looking bird. I'm sending warm thoughts your way.
Thank you Mike!! The cold weather sucks!! But I still have to get a little flying in, if possible! Cheers
Che’ Awe. Sorry to see that happen. I just put one of the HP versions together. I think the 6s 5000 is really max for this bird. 4000s are ideal. What I always heard. Plus, Flight CG they say is best when you can barely touch the aft section of the fuselage and it tips back just barely. That’s from what I seen in other reviews. Good luck getting her fixed and 2nd maiden. 👋👍😊
I am thinking what you heard is defintely true. At least you can say it can take a 6k, it just does not like it lol. Cheers man and thank you for watching. We will definitely get her all fixed up!
Hi Che' and Ashley hope all is well.That was a fun maiden flight with the F-86 and if the gear was better it would have been perfect.So nice to see you out flying,it's been a while since I've seen you both.Happy New Year to you both.
Don! Thanks for taking the time to watch. This was a lot of funa nd much needed to get out and fly this jet, even though the maiden did not go as planned. But does anything go according to plan? lol Cheers
Yezir!!!! Lehgo!!!
Cheers man thans for watching!!
That low pass was sweet! Looks great in the air, Happy new year to y'all!
Thank you man!! I really enjoy the low passes, so I am glad that you do also ! Cheers
Everything gets brittle in the cold. Maybe a 4000 or 5000 battery? Cold fun maiden Che and Ashley zoom zoom zoom Jeff in LA USA
Thanks jeff!! I will try a 4k next time and some new gear!
I love this plane, great job. Wish they would do a version 2 with updated scale gear doors
Thank would be awesome man! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Nice flight my guy . That jet looks real stable . I was thinking about grabbing one mtself .
Thanks bro! Some adjustments to make for sure, startting with some new gear lol. Even though I only flew her once, she still flies okay. I have had worse. Thank you for taking the time to watch!
@@hamiltonshangar you flew it great my guy . Love that jet
I use those rxs with my Radiomaster, there rock solid
Heck yeah man nice!! I swear by them
Don’t know what you eat or drink maybe smoke to get that entry energy ! But you should bottle it and send it to me !! 👍🔥🔥
lol!! I have plenty to go around! Cheers
Seemed like it was going good til the landing…no way it should feel underpowered with that set up in there!! Should be moving good!
I think it was just that it was nose heavy! Cheers man thank you for watching I hope you have a great day today
Thought you guys would be hip deep in snow at this time of the year. Looks cold though!
dont you put that curse on me Victor Rc Jets LOL Cheers man!
@@hamiltonshangar we have had tons of rain here. The weekend we go out of town it was great weather.
Bummer! I was wondering how it was going to go with a big battery that far forward, its a sweet flyer once you get it dialed in! Let us know what do for better gear, Mines all stock yet.
Thanks for watching man! I will see what I can come up with. I am glad that I have Room to move the battery farther back with the mods, but I still think it would benefir from a 4500 or a 5000. Cheers
@@hamiltonshangar Alot relocate the esc so they can move the battery back enough, on mine the battery goes up against the esc. Do the wheel/tail test before the next flight. Good luck!
Well it flew, man what's up with the landing gear these jets aren't cheap indeed. Anyway have a blessed day with family 😎
Thank you Jackson and Maison! Cheers
Good maiden bro! Throw in one of your Admiral Pro 4000 :)
I will have to do that and snag some new gear! lol thank you for watching man!
@@hamiltonshangar right on bro!
5000 all the way back will give you good cg .. she will be back 👍🏻👍🏻 do the balance test .. push tail all the way down ,then let go of it the nose should come down slowly ..
Copy that thank you for the pointers!! Next time out with her, I will make some changes!
@@hamiltonshangar 👍🏻👍🏻looking forward to the next flights ! 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
Camera went out of focus because it was so cold, it didn't want to work either?
Maybe! Electronics are always questionable in freezing conditions. Thank you for watching! Cheers
A tip I learned is that if you balance the jet right with the battery and push the tail down so it very slowly rises on its main gear you can do wheelie landings just like the real ones. This jet is near perfect for "wing walk" landings if balanced right.

The wind seems like it's howling and must feel like it at 10 degrees!!!
Thanks for watching! It was brutal lol!
@@hamiltonshangar Gear fixable? Reinforceable at all. They were awfully cheesey quality there. Felt bad for ya.
@@TheFrenchPug I have to snag some new mains. It is okay. At least the jet itself it all good!
@@hamiltonshangar I had one that size I built from fiberglass and foam. Used a 2 stroke ducted fan engine. Flew like a rock solid trainer. So it should fly solid next time with some balancing. Good luck!
You have and old jet with analog servos and plastic trunion gear assuming you bought it used? If you get a new set of gear it will be metal and much stronger
Yes I got it for a real low price lol, I will snag some new gear for sure! Thanks for watching Nate!
All 3 of my gear popped out of my Freewing F-86 Sabre and the stock motor was horribly Under Powered. Everybody Raves about that Jet but mine has been a sad dissapointment
I might be in the same boat.. we will see.. Thanks for watching !!
Well...the f86 had about a .55 to 1 thrust to weight ratio in the full scale aircraft...so with this setup you have about twice the thrust to weight ratio of the real aircraft...i know lots of us like to have our models accelerate vertically...lol...im sure the guys flying in Korea would have loved to have had a thrust to weight ratio of this model....not until the F16 was a single engine fighter in that better than 1to 1. Scale flying can be difficult but so rewarding....try a 4000 and she will fly more like the toy you are looking for!

Thank you for watching and sharing that with me! Cheers
مرحبا بكم
Hamilton great vid… the gears do suck for that model. However, once you get it going (I.e. upgrade motor to high performance and lighten load with 4000 or 5000 pack) she is a beast. I love mine. It screams when racing by. Good luck with those retractable gears. I had to make do with mine.
Thanks man!! I will get those situated before long! Cheers
Another crash landing! At least it's repairable
Happy new year to you and Ashley good to see you back , big salute 🫡 Gaza 🇬🇧
Cheers! & Thank you for watching!
And happy new years!
