Just got done putting mine together. My last build was "not" a Freewing model. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Freewing is the best jet out of the box, and this Gripen to me is one of the best Freewing jets I've had...up there with all the others, but man it is sexy! I didn't go with the TV, had it on my SU-35 and it just burns batteries too fast (althought backflips are pretty cool!). I was hoping this one came with the afterburner like in the video, but nope...so I ordered one from Gooniac! :) Now I need to do the mixing on my Graupner MZ-24, but following the video, it's pretty much the same as Spektrum...at least in theory! :) Thanks for the great videos, MotionRC - you guys ROCK!
Another beautiful jet from Motion RC and a great build from James as always!! Thanks ALPHA for all the fantastic work with Freewing on these jets we’re getting these days, my Mig 29 is scheduled to be here tmrw and can’t wait, great job as always guys!!!! HOMERUN👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼🔥🔥
How does Freewing do it? Every jet that they make not only flies terrific, but looks great too! Just when you thought they couldn't get any better, they go and come out with this thing! Saving for a JAS-39...
Very glad to see you guys starting to test and share some thoughts on cg and rates that are not just 100% bound by loyalty to the manual. I realize that caution is required, but fact remains that most models unlock a lot more of their potential if tuning cg and rates. Keep it up!
Thanks Jan. Trying our best to get deeper into these models for sure. I appreciate guys like you who make informed comments as well cause that also adds to the video. 👊
Thinking really hard on this one , Would like to have the TV unit also, Looks like it would work really well off of my home field , and that's a Grate Plus for me .
You should separate the power for the engine from the power to the controls. Use two batteries to avoid loss of controls when engine is at full speed at the end of battery charge.
These Freewing Jets should bring the Big RC Jet guys Scrambling. If they aren't throwing money at you guys for these Jets, somethings wrong. These things will make big scale modeling a thing of the past.
@@MotionRC For sure, but the choice comes down to: Crash a 500.00 dollar Jet with super scale detail, or a 20,000.00$ Jet with super scale detail? Hmmm. I'm a Foamie flier from way back, I love seeing their evolution.
The biggest question I have currently is will we be able to pre-order the thrust vectoring upgrade? I'm going to watch your mixing video see if I can have mine ready to go before it arrives. But you know you can also share your TX settings online. Waiting for this one for a long time! The typhoon eurofighter V1 had no rudder so the TV was mixed to the elevons. I noticed you have your TV on your elevator and Rudder.
Did you ask Alpha in the discord chat? You know we will let everyone know as soon as we know for sure. I can share my file for sure on squawk, but doesn't help anyone without spektrum. This video can at least help people with other protocols see the principles of the mix and work through their transmitters
@MotionRC That's an amazin Jet model!! Lookign forward to get one my self. Could you please tell me that maximum lenght of the fuselage (without cone and back part)?
Hello! I have bought a JAS-39 Gripen from you and have a Spektrum AR10360T receiver that I intend to use. In the model, all AUX channels are occupied by canard and thrust vector. Can't I use the gyro AS3X in the plane?
Hi Motion RC. The real Gripen has a total of three landing lights, those who are located at the main struts, is there any possibility that the light at the front strut will fit the struts at the rear with its brackets and then for connection use two Y-harness for them to work? Any ideas?
off the top of my head right now I am not sure the nose lights will work, but there are so many smaller light options that for sure something can work with the leads as you suggested
I had received my Gripen and noticed while building that there is no factory installed UBEC? And it does not mention anywhere in the item description page on your website or youtube videos that a receiver battery or UBEC is required? Can A UBEC be added?
Air flow through the intakes and around the angles on this one definitely does that. Still not quite as awesome as the Venom, that one has the best wooshes IMO
About 52". We posted the measurments here: www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc-airplanes/rc-military-jets/271246-official-freewing-jas-39-gripen-80mm-edf-jet?p=271943#post271943

Better be on display behind you in the box on Tuesday 😉
Motion RC now your just being hurtful 😂

Thanks so much John!
Ain’t no one gonna be Gripin’ about the Freewing Gripen!
For sure!

@@MotionRC Always happy to 🤡
Still have to wait soooooooo long but I’m already sooo excited 😆👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It will go quick I promise!
Man my Mig 29 comes tomorrow and all I can think about is this jet 😳
Hahaha. That's okay
Great video James. Awesome looking plane. ✈️😎🇺🇸💝
Thanks John!

It definitely will. Same grass ops as the Avanti, l-39 and t,-33

Hope not, but the guys who love the big stuff can still have a ton of fun with our stuff

Great job James. 👍
Thanks Michael!
Super clean! Can't wait to mod it and hit 150mph on this one! 😜
Oh snap!

This is great can you do a video with the futaba10j like you did with the spektrum radio my bird will be here Saturday
You mean like this one? ruclips.net/video/cllErpy2I08/видео.html

Lots of info to digest, hope it helps
Sure dose. I've fallen for this Bird. Thank you Motion RC &freewing
Hi Motion RC. The real Gripen has a total of three landing lights, those who are located at the main struts, is there any possibility that the light at the front strut will fit the struts at the rear with its brackets and then for connection use two Y-harness for them to work? Any ideas?
off the top of my head right now I am not sure the nose lights will work, but there are so many smaller light options that for sure something can work with the leads as you suggested
@@MotionRC do you sell the nose light seperately so i could maybe try it out?🤔
@@Isdahl87 under the Gripen spare part page, yes: www.motionrc.com/products/freewing-80mm-edf-jas-39-gripen-led-light
It does sound absolutely great out-of-the box, but about that 9-blade plastic fan...any ideas on how it will sound with a 12-blade metal unit?🤔
No idea, probably a little meaner I guess?
Motion RC more wosh?👏🏼😇
I had received my Gripen and noticed while building that there is no factory installed UBEC? And it does not mention anywhere in the item description page on your website or youtube videos that a receiver battery or UBEC is required? Can A UBEC be added?
you can always add UBEC
Why does this thing randomly put out some crazy good sounds?
Air flow through the intakes and around the angles on this one definitely does that. Still not quite as awesome as the Venom, that one has the best wooshes IMO
Asalam mualaikum 🙏
Hello where you get that model.
Greetings from Buenos Aires.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This model is on pre-order from MotionRC.com and MotionRC.eu
When you remove the nose section for transport, what will be the total lenght of the aircraft then?
About 52". We posted the measurments here: www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc-airplanes/rc-military-jets/271246-official-freewing-jas-39-gripen-80mm-edf-jet?p=271943#post271943
Hi, can u explain hiw ti set yo a gyro on gripen? Due plane has 5 outputs (canards aleron elevator , rudder) and gyro only 3 inputs
Is an 8 channel receiver required?
Supper model I love rc plane💓💓💓💓💓💓
We love you for watching
Can a beginner fly this jet?
How many channels do you need on the Rx to have thrust vectoring on a switch?
Well, to gain full control of the canards and TV, you will want 9 channels.
what price is the TV tail end ?
We'll know more as in the coming week or two. Will let everyone know
And what is the eta on the afterburner ??
The afterburner is available from The RC Geek, link in the description
Motion RC I actually meant eta on the trust vector 🤪😂😂😂 thanks
Freewing has to come out with a YF-23 Black Widow 2
oh I see that there is a text in my language, Gripen of the Czech Air Force,
Oh man! cant wait to get this! make some god you tube videos and convert it to turbine and make some more videos
Please share those videos with us when you make them!
@@MotionRC off course i will 😀
Needs a Turbine Hey hey!! :D
Would love to see it
Motion RC there’s a Guy in China @JACKSONLAM I Think, He LOVES To put small Turbines in Freewing Jets! He put one on A New MIG 29!!

Hi 👋
w00t
It homicidal edf i got as my fist jet guarantee with gyro u will get use to it😅
Gear not real on this look
