      Thanks my RC Brother! With a couple of minor adjustments, the second flight went much better. The CG moving forward and reducing the ailerons another 10% really helped. Trimming it during this flight helped a lot too.

      Thanks for watching me last night! I wish there had been less glitches so you could hear me better, but most people seemed to like it. As someone that hasn't met a Freewing Jet he doesn't like, this one is great, but so is the A-4 and the F-16. since the F-35 and F-16 don't have flaps, they are probably harder to land and require more runway. Even John is challenged a little by his F-16, though it looks incredible.

      @@GBLynden The F35 has more wing area, is not that difficult to slow it down. The F16, that is a handful, but does it look pretty with the retracts extended coming in with a nice alpha.

  • @Ahkeys82

    Well done! Those little wings make it challenging. Only 50% throw on the ailerons and it was that touchy. Wow. Kudos bud.

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад

      I should have set my low rates even lower than I did. One of the biggest things I didn't realize until thinking about it later was the trim and CG also impacted that. The ailerons were off by several clicks in flight, which made it fly way better once corrected through the rest of the video. I was also dealing with an intermittent cross-wind but wanted to get the maiden done. The second flight went better, though I haven't studied that video yet to see how it all turned out through the camera lol

      @GBLynden  8 месяцев назад

      Sometimes with some planes. With a heavier plane like this, there will be a diminishing return by adding the extra weight of a bigger battery. 4000’s are perfect in this jet in my experience. I hope that helps 👊🏻💥👊🏻

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад +1

      On this flight I had it about 5mm in front of that plastic block. I moved the Admiral 4000 pack even with the back of the wood for the second flight, which moved it farther forward by a few more mm's and it handled much better like that. Reducing the aileron throws down to 40% and having it properly trimmed helped a lot too. This jet is going to help me grow my skills! :D

    I'm torn between this, the Eflite Viper and the FMS f18. I have the discontinued Art Tech f14 which is a complete disaster. Crashed it more than I landed it. Was impossible to control.

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад +1

      I would say go for the Freewing BAe Hawk instead. I have never stalled my Hawk, but I have my Viper a number of times. The Hawk also has lights and is very easy to see in a variety of lighting conditions. The Viper is easy to lose in gray clouds with lower light.

    Are your high rates all set at 100%? Would you suggest a gyro in the receiver? How do you like the dx6?

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад

      No not at all my friend, we except for the elevator. I have that on 100%, but have the ailerons at 50% here, which I later reduced down to 40% on the second flight. I believe my rudders are set at 65%, but even with that, you must be careful taxing. It will flip over hard. You should watch my second flight video with the adjusted CG and 40% ailerons.

    • @WillMaigur
      @WillMaigur 5 лет назад +1

      I’m confused, you have your low rates at those values or your high rates?

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад

      Yes, although there’s no reason to change those, at least for me. Those are my rates for all aspects of flight and there is no gryo. I forgot to answer than earlier. Edit: I also like my DX6 with it a lot.

    • @WillMaigur

      How much of a learning curve is there to go from an electric trainer to this?

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад

      It is significant. Flying any EDF Jet is much harder than flying a trainer. I made the mistake of going from a trainer to a 3S F-18 and it didn’t end well. I recommend getting a Parkzone T-28 Trojan and then mastering it. At that point you might be ready to take on a Freewing BAe Hawk and then this jet. I know that is a longer path than you want, but honestly, it might even be a little too short. I am here to help answer more questions if I can.

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад +2

      This one will be a little harder, but very doable. The key is the CG and taming down the ailerons. It also flies heavier, so it bleeds off speed in the turns more than those other planes by quite a bit. If you know that going in and still want it, you will love it 😀

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  5 лет назад +1

      It was the Enfan 4200 shown at the end of the video. I was not that heavy on the throttle for most of the flight as the CG wasn’t quite right and it wasn’t all of the way trimmed out until the second flight.
