Freewing 90mm F 16 V1 and V2 Power system Thrust testing
With the release of the new Freewing F-16 90mm 6 and 8s, there are more questions than answers in terms of how this new feature packed, but heavy entry to the Viper line up will perform. Well today, we shed some light on real world thrust numbers from both Freewing stock, modified, AND aftermarket 90mm fan/motor setups. In addition, we tested and older, much larger motor used in the dated Freewing Super Scale Yak-130 90mm to give enthusiasts frame of reference as to how for EDF technology has advanced in ten years. Enjoy the long format and drop your experiences and thoughts in the comments!

Freewing 90mm Eurofighter 6s (9 blade rotor mod) Speed results
Переглядів 3105 місяців тому
Sorry for the lack of flight video, flying solo today, but Here's a viable option for those who don't quite want the hassle of going with 8s weight out of the Eurofighter. Any 9 blade rotor from freewing can be mounted on the new 1960kv EDF unit and offer a great speed increase. Some applications work better than others obviously due to ducting differences, but the speed increase i saw here wit...
Freewing twin zeus powered 90mm A-10 with New STEMWings 5v Scale enough Slime lights
Переглядів 866 місяців тому
Check out the new 5 volt slime lights from ‎@STEMWings ! This Kit eliminates the need for an auxiliary battery pack and or the need to run a balance connector lead. As seen here, you can also use a lights controller in line to now have switched power to your formation lighting! I use the E-flite Draco 2.0 controller to have full control over all of the lights on the model.
Freewing 90mm Euro fighter "Harpoon" mod

"Scale police" Teigger warning: This is a mod i stumbled upon introduced by @Derjoh1986 that greatly improves every aspect of the Freewing Eurofighter's flight characteristics. parts needed to complete are the Freewing JAS Grippen canards and 10mm OD (outer diameter X 5mm ID (inner diameter) silicon vacuum hose. You utilize the stock Conard pivot rod and bolts/screws. simply remove your factory...

      @tonyp2263 This is literally the ONLY jet that i have actually considered keeping an 8s system in. It manages the weight well amd the flight times are great. I can cruise it around at 50-60% throttle with ease and it has gobbs of punch put power. You do have to commit to more battery packs though.

    Thanks for doing this comparison! The best one out I’ve seen 👍🏽. I have yet to assemble my 8s F-16V2. Now I think I’m going to have to make it a priority. I’m wondering if those type of spring loaded cheater holes improve bottom end performance or battery life?

      I've done thrust and amp test on the J10 8s and Eurofighter 8s and 9s. J10 has 4.25kg of thrust at only 117A. That's 250g more and 13A less than the F16 8s. Eurofighter on 9s is 4.6kg at only 122A. That's the sweet spot on that jet. 8s was only 3.45kg.

      I have three Nerf whistles in my jet that’s why it sounds the way it does compared to the others in the video. They also could be the reason why it only made 6.1 pounds they do impede the flow ever so slightly.

    You don't need uptrim on your canards, you're just extremely nose heavy. Try going back an inch on the cg... Night and Day.

      @fern6978 9 місяців тому

      @Chuck_theModfather I'm 20mm aft of the manual's cg and it's neutral, but the design of these canards are definitely the issue.

    • @Chuck_theModfather
      @Chuck_theModfather 9 місяців тому

      @fern6978 the "up trim" i have in the canards isn't even visibly noticeable. You're seeing the "up" in the video before i show the deflection. This mod completely mitigates the need to run tail weight AND increases the flight envelope by a good margin. Id hardly call needing up trim problematic given the benefits.

    • @fern6978
      @fern6978 9 місяців тому

      @Chuck_theModfather Up trim is drag and the issue is the underweight plastic cased EDF they used from the factory. It needs the heavier alloy cased fan that has more power AND the proper tailweight to all for a neutral cg. We figured this out after the first flight. Simple fix. You could modify the battery bay to slide the pack back easily. Doesn't need new canards, just the correct cg. It's night and day man.

    • @Chuck_theModfather
      @Chuck_theModfather 9 місяців тому

      @fern6978 the goal here was to drastically change flight characteristics WITHOUT cutting up the plane. Its an alternative that works extremely well. Im nit sure if you're understanding that i didn't need the up- trim on thw canards until AFTER i installed the new canards. Which really wasn't necessarily an up trim, but a change in the neutral position over the factory canards due to the fact that they alre a complete different shape. Since this video i actually have installed thr 40mm diameter 1750kv motor and made ZERO trim adjustments even after the added 29 grams of a heavier motor. Got 40 bucks and some vacuum hose (judging by the catfish in your pic you probably do). Try it out! You'll see exactly what i mean! Nice car btw. I had a nitrous fed 2002 hard top.

      @Chuck_theModfather 9 місяців тому

      None actually. I did this mod before even considering adding weight and i haven't had a need to since. That said, i recently installed a 1750kv motor and that weighs 29 grams more than the 1960. With the added weight itnflew exactly the same but with a bit more thrust. These canards greatly mitigate that nose heavy feel when you trim them separately front the elevons
