Probably the most underrated grass capable EDF: FLYFANS MIG-25 twin 64mm

Here's another short flightvid of my FLyfans Mig-25 Foxbat twin 64mm. This is one of my favorite EDFs and it was a really cheap one ! You wouldn't expect this plane to fly so easy of grass but with some easy mods it became one of most grass capable EDF jets. Even on wet and taller grass it has no problem at all to rotate.

This is a flight from pilot Hans with his Freewing F9F-8 Cougar Super Scale 80mm EDF on a short grass runway. The plane came without a gyro but Hans installed one himself. This eliminated the tail waggle. The recording was made on a typical grey day in Belgium :-) #freewing #edf #motionrc

Here's a vid with the best parts of a flight I did at the Schwandorf EDF meeting at the start of August 2024. The reverse thrust option is very handy when you fly on a concrete runway to stop the plane intime instead of rolling of the runway into the grass which might damage your landing gear. Thanks a lot to Andy, the photographer who made some really classy pictures of my J-10 during the meet...

Thanks Jeff ... I think Freewing added a brake chute on the new Blackbird after they saw my Gina vids 😉🤪😆
@@Icarusthe2nd_RC_and_friends I was thinking the same thing, have a great week
Melhor impossível 😍✈️✈️✈️🫡
Thanks 😀
Hi! Late comment I know, but i just got my own EF a few days ago. Set up 8s, with 2x 4s 5000 mah with a little bit over 1000g of weight. Do you use different rates for take off/landing/flight?. And also where did you hide the extra weight, I would like to hide it as good as possible.
Good luck with yours! I don't use different rates. For the included weight you have several options: don't use it and install heavier 3dp exhaust, hide the weight in the slot under the vertical stab, use other weights under the tail, ... I didn't add the extra weight but I have heavier exhaust + afterburner and I slide my 2nd lipo under the air brake. Greetings from Belgium 🍺
Wow! That was smooth!
Many thanks
+11 and looks like of autopilot did the job 🤣 🤣
Hehe my buddy Hans has a steady hand 😉
@ very good! I have a Hans Buddy that does the same! Maybe it’s the name 🤣 should change mine 😆

Who let the dogs out who who who who who xD hahaha cool video and flight!! I thought it was having problems to take off but has a lot of thrust in the air :)
LOL 🤣 Yeah more than enough power thanks to a Wemotec setup

Hi Icarus!! Nice looking scale Fiat! I think I have been sitting in this airframe in the museum in Munich :) There was written that Germany /the airforce made a tender for a cheap jet trainer and Fiat won 🤣 It looked amazing on real and a lot of buttons and sticks 🤣 WOWWW and with Parachute!! 🪂 Have a great afternoon!
Thanks buddy !!! I saw the Gina in a few musea already (last one was in Malta just a few months back) and I really like the plane!
Hi any link to where you got the kit from ? Regards
Hi, Masterfly was a gfk planes manufacturer but doesn't exist anymore.
Ob der aus der Hand auch zum Starten ginge?
I don't think a handlaunch will be possible. You need more start speed with a 104.
Leider nein hatte schon Probleme wenn das Gummi nicht richtig gespannt ist.
Superb again! :D
Thank you! Cheers!
I found your video again :P I´ve bought now a used 3668 1960kV Freewing 12b edf. It´s more powerful than the 100g lighter FMS 3670 1950kV that is now stock on every FMS 90mm newer model. It will be a bit more weight but more power and will take easier 7S or 8S LiIon so a bit more current than with top lipos. A guy I sold a new Avanti 90mm told me he has already burned two of those light FMS motors in the summer flying several lipos and also with full gas too long. Maybe I try both power setups but I´m still or more concerned about the gras. Your field is maybe not super long (ours is 140m long) but yours is flat as a pancake. Our is less even and now in the winter terrible. At least now it is frozen and no mole holes but probably they will come again before the spring comes ... oh my gosh :P Best wishes and cheers from south east Bavaria! Francisco
Greetings man, I hope the moles stay away from your runway. My own garden is invaded by moles at this moment grrr lol
@ good you have a garden anyway 🤣 Have you tried those electric ⚡️ poles?
You sure have the Mig dialed in, great flying. Zoom zoom zoom Jeff in LA USA
Thank you Jeff, this Mig is really easy to fly for the price it costs. I hope you're doing well. Greetings from Belgium buddy🍺
Great beautiful flight. Amazing.
Thanks a lot 👍 this Mig-25 is such a beauty in the sky and had no problems on grass. Plus it flies and lands so easily 😀
Waar is de maïs?
Aan de piloot z'n outfit te zien was dit nog de pré-maïs situatie 😀
Nice 👌🏼
Thanks man! 👊
I have this one still in the box ! Thx for the video! It inspired me to build it ! What Lipo.are you using please ?
Thank you for watching and commenting the video 👍 I've used 6S 3600-4500. A friend even uses a 6S 5000 so plenty options actually. Good luck with yours. Greetings from Belgium 🍺
Hans great flying, the Cougar sounds great, smooth video. Zoom Zoom Zoom Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff, hope you're doing fine!
FYI - Freewing's EDF manuals are routinely nose heavy by ~15-25mm. Once you get the CG slammed, this F-14 is an absolute joy to fly. Floats like a butterfly, but it will sting you like a bee!
Happy New Year. Beautiful flight and great landing. I look forward to working with you again this year.
Hi my friend, I wish you a great flying year without any problems of crashes. Thanks for your continued support on my channel. I'm looking forward to see many new flight vids from you 👊👍
Happy 2025 ....Mooie vlucht, goed gefilmd. Ik zou wel zeggen Short runway ipv Small runway 😄
Ook voor jou een super 2025 vliegjaar! Ja inderdaad 'short' is beter, dat stond gelukkig zo al in de beschrijving van de video 😉👍
Hi! Cool you have or had a Mig 👍🏼 I’m looking for one 🤣 Good emergency landing without issues. A belly landing would have been even better but it was very fast (voltage cutting) I suppose. Cool that she can fly relatively good with just one edf. I thought it would be a stall from hight. A friend had that on his new Bronco OV 10 2,8m and the whole ARF was crap afterwards. The 19,4V did not sound so extreme for me but it’s 3,23V on recovered cells. Under low probably under 3V. I suppose it was a long flight at least 😆
Hi my friend, yeah I still have the big FW Mig-29 and indeed I flew too long. Need to work some on the landing gear, the plane seems to have a toe-out config which doesn't help with the take-off of course.
@ Hola amigo! I could say as a also native spanisch speaker :) Cool, so she is a keeper for the hangar 👌🏼 I don’t understand that toe-out landing gear. I think RC4ever described that too. Need to read again about that. Jandro also mentioned many improvements he did. For me as a normal flier probably first just good working elevator should have priority. But the newer ones have been improved in this aspect I think. I’m thinking to order one today since there are some coupons on Ali still. Because second hand they are pretty rare and not cheap either… Thanks for taking the time to answer and have a great week! 👌🏼
happy 2025....and very nice flight guys- the Cougar rules :)
Thanks friend, yeah the Cougar flies well and sounds great! To a successful 2025 flying season!☝️🎉
Mooie vlucht. Total control as always.
Bedankt Pieter, inderdaad altijd strak gevlogen van Hans! Happy 2025!
Van boven laten zien gelijk ze zeggen👌
lol inderdaad 👍
Beautiful glider! I would like to understand if it is a thermal or slope model. Without the engine does it glide smoothly or is it a little heavy? Thanks
Hi, the model is lightweight but it wasn't exactly a good glider because of the drag of the pylon/motor/propeller.
Here also in the description! Great! That motor is a blast just the grass is very difficult to operate. She just jumps into the sky when rotating ! Sweet! Great aerobatics here!! An authentic warbird :D
Thanks 👍
I like a lot those landings on the mains!! Super Patrick :)
Thanks a lot! I'll tell Patrick
Great flight after all! With charging packs in between? The packs can make a huge difference too!
I think it was mostly the grass situation at that time
So this was an older XFly because there is the same 3060 motor with 2000kV instead of the 1900 of FMS and that should be much better. But it is amazing how less speed the models build up sometimes. We grass fliers have a hard time.... I´m thinking to buy a new Mirage 80mm with landing gear instead of my old without gear and look if it works of grass. For just flying it doesn´t matters or without gear it´s much better because it´s lighter (also this F-16 when underpowered) but taking off and landing is a big part of the game also! :D
The motor was the XFly 2000kv. Meanwhile I changed a lot on this F-16, better air inlets on the belly, extra cheaters on top ... gone are the problems now! Indeed, that's why I prefer to fly my planes with landing gear :-)
I found also that making the front landing gear higher worked great also. But also the grass quality has an impressive influence on take off...
Indeed, the grass situation is very important
Looks great! Before changing my stock (V2) 2300kV small outrunner I read a bit and opted for the new Freewing 2957 motor and edf. Although maybe the FMSs have more punch even... I have now both so maybe I should thest it some day. I have put my ESC to middle timming to get some more power. Maby my edf is unbalanced but I have no time to balance that properly... so many planes :S
Good luck!
And what a sweet landing!!!
How did you get an AUW of 11.5 kg? That seems impossibly light for an electric setup. I've got the same plane with similar electric power and its well over 30 lbs (14 kg).
Hi, better ask Stuart from HobbyKing. He has also some vids on his own RUclips Channel
@Icarusthe2nd_RC_and_friends Thanks. I left the same question on his channel, but it was removed. YT does that. I'll try again.
Francis fantastic flying and great looking BIG Chopper. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff!
Hi what Edf and is it 8 or 10s? I’m thinking of building this kit and would like to know CG? Great model and flight!
Hi, the model uses the recommended 8S motor, all info on the rbc kits website www.rbckits.com/shop/f-84f-thunderstreak.html
Mooi, lijkt soms wel een echte heli te zijn 😁
Inderdaad, was magnifiek om te zien vliegen, zeker in de handen van een professionele piloot.
Hi Icarus! Found your channel again :;D I was looking for this one I also have in the box. Just without EDF and I´m wondering if to go on a very light 6S/7S/8S setup with LiIon on a 3670 FMS 1950kV fan and Vgood 8S 120-140 Esc or 8S on a big 8S 1500kV 4075 FMS motor and running on 8S or even 10 S. I have also two JPs 90mm 12S used fans I bought cheap one time but 12 cells are a lot of weight and also the Esc would be heavy. Do you know what was or maybe is in this plane? The video is great to give me a feeling of how the gras ops at our place could work.... THANKS :D and subscribed!! Feel free to see my channel, just a humble one but getting fun flying and filming :P I haven´t touched the small Hawk still...
HI there, I subrscibed to your channel more than a week ago already. I don't remember which motor exactly sits in this 90mm F-16 from a clubmember, but I think you can find 2-3 vids from this plane on my channel and in the comments and questions the motor was discussed if Im' not mistaken. Greetings from Belgium!
@@Icarusthe2nd_RC_and_friends Hi of course I remember the Hawk. Maybe that´s why I found this 90mm Viper F-16... Thank you very much for your informations!!!! It looks as if she need some space to build up speed. Luckily your gras is very even and she doesn´t get too much bumps. Ours isn´t as even I think. But the bumps can make a more easely rotation as with my 64mm F-16 this week on wheels and just 4S. It was difficult but it worked in the end. But I´m having much more fun with here with the LiIon 5S I build for here. The CG is on the limit and could be more to the back but damn she is fast and flying 10 minutes or 8 min with a lot of full gas is cool too :D Cheers to Belgium!!
Super vol et super atterrissage.
Great editing of the video!
Thanks a lot 🙂
Has this Hawk already the 2957 2210kv motor?
Yes it has, I asked the pilot the same question after his flight.
@ OK! Maybe the wheels are smaller than others. I hope I can take off fast or our trees will come close :S :P
I got a very cheap Hawk 70mm and hope to maiden her soon. I´m justing looking how to connect the LEDs without the bluebox, since the former owner put that away to save cables and space. MotionRc told me the voltage regulator (resistance??) is on the blue box or connector to regulate the voltage from 5V to aorund 3V....
I guess it will be easiest to buy a separate LED module. Freewing uses one in it's older jets and it has the needed resistors built in.
@@Icarusthe2nd_RC_and_friends ok super! I ordered some from FMS with other things so it was for free. Ill Test that! Thanks! 👍🏼 👍🏼 Best regards from a 🇨🇱 🇩🇪 living in South east Bavaria
🇨🇱? Really, are you from Chile? Cool man 👍 do you there's a big yearly EDF meeting in Bavaria (Schwandorf) in August?
@ Well it says on the video 🤣 Denderleeuw :P I was 18 years ago in Brussels :) Cycling would be cool there too!
Very sweet flight :) I would assume around 4000-4500 pack for that long flight with several open throttle passes and that looong take off :P Very nice club also! :)
Thanks man, although I was just recording and not piloting, I do remember that the pilot used HK Zippy Compact lipos 4000-5000s
@@Icarusthe2nd_RC_and_friends OK, yes that is very common although I think one don’t need so big packs. I’m now flying mainly my new soldered 6S1P Molicel P45B LiIon pack weighting 426g with 4500mAh instead of around 650g Lipo and a very long range :D Flying comfortably I clocked 10:30 Min on my Mirage 80mm 🤣 Flying Mixed 8:30 :)) so the 70mm models should be at least >6 Min for very fast flights. I’ve also ordered more other cells that tend to have more power and less voltage sag…. Yesterday I soldered a 4S pack for my F-16 64mm V3 from FMS because the 2200 Lipos clocked just 3-3,5 Min and it felt like taking off and landing immediately 🤣
@@ficosk8 I asked the pilot, he used a older 6S 4000 pack in this pack. I used some Samsung 40T 6S LiIOn packs in my EDFs 3-4 years ago but I wasn't impressed. Can you tell me the max current you get out of your 6S1P Molicel P45B pack ? I need a good max current or I cannot take off from a grass runway with some of my jets.
Hi, ich mache gerade den selben fertig… Und hätte ein paar Fragen.. 3 oder 4s? 85 oder 100% Auslass? Wo liegt das Startgewicht? Stimmt der SP mit dem Ständer? Vielen lieben Dank und viele schöne Flüge mit der F-104 Stephan

Inmiddels wat weken verder, hoe houd de gear zich nu? Doen die struts(stangen) daadwerkelijk iets of is dat meer voor de looks?
Even mijn logs gecheckt, ik heb 50 vluchten tot nu, 2/3 daarvan op gras, de rest op een asfalt piste. De ene landing al wat harder dan de andere. Geen enkel probleem tot nu toe, voor mij is dit 1 van de sterkste landingsgestellen tot nu toe. Hope this helps!

Where are the files for these
I don't think their are published somewhere, it's something a good friend made and print for me.
Does this have nozzle size changed as well?
Yes, 3D printed nozzles with a smaller diameter are used on this plane.
