Just ordered the red one today and i cant wait thanks for the info my friend
Awesome Philip! Red scheme looks good too!
Great video. I'm finishing setups on my new Avanti S (red version, 9-blade EDF unit) and will probably maiden it this weekend.
Your videos are first rate. I just got back into RC after a several-year hiatus, and I've downloaded all of your Spektrum NX transmitter videos because they're so good. Thanks for all of the time and effort you've put into them. It has made the learning curve so much shorter on my NX10.
Well done!
Will, welcome back to the hobby! Maiden should be simple.If you use the factory CG and balance neutral it will be slight nose heavy. I found best results at 5-8mm aft of book CG but some run more than that. Let me know how maiden goes and goodluck!
Thanks for the support and feedback on this video too.
I’ve seen a lot of these fly at Joe Nall. I agree, very nice EDF. Excellent review and flight. I like detailed reviews and setups. I also like to hear any cons as well when they are warranted. Nice place you have there to fly. 👍👍😊
I hope to make it to JoeNall next year. Thanks for the positive comments! I really like flying there too!
Nice work BD I'm actually looking forward to the one I have coming. It's the same color too.
Thanks Pilot Will! Congrats on the new bird,you will enjoy it for long time for sure! Yellow is my favorite scheme too :)
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, perfect timing too! I’m trying to decide between this one the FMS Super Scorpion 90mm and the Futura 80mm
All 3 nice birds! Avanti will have the widest flight envelope. SS90mm is floats and flies well too (also good thrust being a 90mm). Futura will be the fastest and more nimble. I personally like the FMS Hawk better than Futura...
@@BDTennessee FMS Hawk is that the red one Royal Air Force? Also, What is your thought on the Freewing Stinger 90mm?
@@RC-Flight yes thats the one. Stinger 90mm is a nice bird too. Its got more thrust than Avanti, landing light on nose gear, and nose wheel is double wheels. Slightly heavier and does good in the wind. Avanti is more nimble (fly in smaller space,however sting can stretch out with the 1900kv 90mm too)and lighter flying.
BDT great plane, smooth flying and what a tough choice to make. I'm coming off a E-flight Viper 70mm and I love it with a SMC 3600mAh 6s LiHV, handles great and has really brought be along in EDF. I'm looking to go to the next level and the big brother Viper 90mm is right there and in my price range, but this Avanti looks beautiful. A fellow flying member out at my field has an FMS FUTURA 80mm with a AR637TA receiver installed and it also flies nice.
Both nice birds and if you enjoy the 70mm you will the 90mm. I flew a Futura V3 recently and its impressive too! Avanti and Futura will run on that 3600. I wouldnt run that small in the Viper 90mm tho...
She’s a great flying jet. Very nice! 🤙🏽
I agree bro! Thanks for watching too!
Great job man! Nice video!
Thanks Tim!
Great review and flying. The Avanti is one of the most enjoyable planes to fly in my fleet. The gear can take a lot of abuse, but I recommend adding an aftermarket 3d printed nose brace to ensure long life.
Thanks RC NFO ,glad you like flying and information! I agree those brace are good upgrade, this Avanti has it installed!.Worked good on my grass ops video if you havent checked it out.
I love that jet. But man you were killin me putting that plane on the nose cone!! Take that off when you stand it up like that. Haha.
Great video man!
Its a nice bird for sure! Copy, i didnt think of it cause it got a plastic nose tip. No damage tho :D
I appreciate the positive feedback,Thanks!
Great Review on a great jet!
👊Thanks bro!👊
nice flight and info...
Thank you JCB!
Nice review and very informative
I’ve just installed the 9 blade upgraded fan with 100A speedy from the 12blade setup but yet to test. Using the CH 5200mah 70C.
Thanks Ian! Did you get the 12blade Freewing or FMS?
@@BDTennessee
Freewing with the alloy housing I think from the Mig 21
@@iansummers6945 should be night and day! Let me know how it goes :)
Thanks BD,,you talked me into it,,,,Done
Awesome! Let me know how it goes and if you need any help :)
Your doing things I just dream about.
👊👊
Very nice!
Thanks Jet!
Nice 🤘
Thanks!
Everything is great about the HP 80mm FW Avanti S except you have the wrong color, Red is always better than Orange 😁😎 Niiiiice one BD, Jeff in LA USA
Red one is good lookin too for sure! My friend has that one :)
Thanks for sharing your controls setup. I have just purchased an Avanti and this will help. Do you use your low rates for takeoff and landing or do you need a different rate for more throw? Thanks!
Medium rates for overall flying.
Man, I sure wish all you youtube guys would figure out to get reverse thrust on birds like this one and also the A-10. Once you have it on a plane you see how useful it really is, especially on asphalt like you have. It's not an absolute necessity but it really does make the landing on a hard surface great.
Reverse thrust is nice for sure! I have some planes that have it but there factory setup. I normally dont fly in the evening like this so my depth perception was off some. All the jets i have i can get stopped and turn around 3/4 way down. Its short runway too (330ft)
The new one has it V2
@BD Tennessee, great review and nice flying. One question, did you do anything to the foam like a layer of polyurethane? It looks slightly shiny and really nice! Just wondering…
Thanks Invicta RC for the positive feedback! Its coated with Polycrylic Minwax.
@@BDTennessee I just purchased this Avanti. I did not realize that it is half painted and half decals. Several of the decals are already peeling back. I assume the minwax will seal them and keep them nice? I have never done this. Do you brush it on or spary it on? Thanks.
@@paulsnapp8674 i would do spray personally.Helps with durabaility and longevity for sure.Decals peel easier on Avantis i have noticed.
@@BDTennessee Thanks!
Awesome plane, and I want one. Curious, at 1:51 the front nose gear doors do not close completely. Is this because the spring is too weak to pull them shut?
Not sure what caused it to hang that time.During flights no issue. Spring pulls both doors at same time so might been from position handling.
Thinking about getting one,do it :)
@@BDTennessee 🙂
Would you recommend taking gear doors off in tall grass? One of mine broke off on a hard landing.
I would if you already have one that broke. I have flown without them and didn’t notice a difference.
It looks like you may have sprayed a clear protective coat on this plane. Can you tell me what it is that you use? Thanks!
Minwax Polyacrylic
Great video.. But one question. The throws your running are way under the recommendations in the manual. I have set mine up as per manual but haven't madden her yet, but I was thinking that the manual settings are way over kill. I think now I should really cut mine back to your settings. Just wondering how much expo are you running if you are running it at all . Thanks in advance.
Thanks!
Most Freewing jets are overcontrolling on book rates ,especially for ailerons (even to the point some models are almost uncontrollable). Elevator you can lower throws,if you move the battery about 5mm aft in the jet. Will still be smooth but also have authority.
No expo used on any of the rates. Rudder is plenty and makes control on takeoff and roll out smooth and easy too but have enough to steer in different situations.
@@BDTennessee Thankyou for your reply. Have now reset the avanti to your specifications..
@@dexterdean there ya go! Also im running the balance at 5mm more aft than in the book and balancing level.
@@BDTennessee Thanks Mate will Maiden her a little nose heavy then set it back after that..
@@dexterdean sounds good.Let me know how it goes :)
What are the things on the wings and what they do?
Wing Fences
obstructing span-wise airflow along the wing, they prevent the entire wing from stalling at once, as opposed to wingtip devices
How much expo do you add?
Zero Expo on all surfaces. If you normally run expo use somewhere between 10-30% ir in the middle at 20%.
