FMS 2100kv V2 Platinum unit swap and thrust testing in the Freewing F14 Tomcat Pt1

- In pt 1 I discuss why the upgrade and show test results from my Futura that sparked this mod and show base numbers from the Tomcat. Time lapse the build and we are off!
The key to flying the freewing F-14 is throttle management. You will burn up your battery fast at full throttle, but the plane does not need full throttle to fly great. The airplane is more like a glider with the wings extended. After liftoff, I always reduce throttle right away to conserve energy. I only use the upper third of the throttle when maneuvering. The plane glides in with little to no power.
Exactly what I needed to complete my Tomcat. Thank you Brenden!
Thanks for sharing this Brenden, valuable info (she is next plane on my list).
Sick man I’m about to put those motors in there 👍🏽
Good luck. You will love them. Thanks for watching.
Great job!
Be interesting if you put the tomcat edf into the futura to see direct comparison in the same fuselage
3 factors effects the thrust 1/ quality of lipo 2/ the intakes 3/ the exhausts .... They make the difference....
Please make another video of how you got the fans in the plane pls no time laps
I’m installing same setup, I ran into the FMS fans (shroud or cone) not lining up the same a factory setup. Do you have any tips on how you solved this?
What’s not lining up
When I put the fan where the front of the fan is in the groove the screw holes don’t line up and it seems slightly larger because cover does not sit flush…. I was just wondering if you had to do any sanding or cutting of foam to get it to fit
@@CaseyCRC yup. I had to cut some foam to have a nice fit. Just simply drill a new hole and the wood and or plastic and use wood screws
@@JustPlaneCrazy Thank you!
Thank you Brenden for sharing a great video. If you don't mind, where did you by the FMS and predator 100 amp ESC? I was looking at Castle Hobbies, $297.94. Is that a good price, thapnk you.
@@JustPlaneCrazy thank you
Great video!. Is the 100A esc enough or would you be better off with a 130A ? Thanks
100 is more than enough. I have tortured this setup with combined hundreds of flights in multiple aircraft with no issues. About to put it in another one
@@JustPlaneCrazy Great, thanks!
@@JustPlaneCrazy I have an idea from watching you put in the 80mm inrunner that it wouldn't be too difficult to put in a 90mm inrunner. Do you think it's possible by just 'cutting out more of where the motor will sit??? Thanks again!!!
You would have FSA issues. Not enough airflow in vs out to make thrust. Right now I believe the setup starves just slightly until it’s flying and forcing air in
@@JustPlaneCrazy Okay thanks for the advice, I'll probably do something similar to what you did. Cheers!
...almost a dissertation on EDFs.
A lot of talking...
