+Wolfgang Löscher Thanks! I've seen a few of these fly and they do seem to fly nicely. This one had great power and speed with a after market power system, but the stock system does well too from what I've seen.
Nice flight. The first loop was awesome, nice big well rounded jet loop for sure. I have wondered about those leading edge flaps since this Freewing bird came out and just how effective they are. Goshawks are slick little jets. We watch them come in to the break a lot at NAF El Centro while we wait for the Blues to practice.
+bmoorear It's seems to be a nice flying airplane, especially with the power upgrade. My dad has one too which he enjoys and has been flying a bunch. Regarding the slats, my friend has noted that they are a bit draggy and that the airplane will actually tend to wallow at higher AoA's which makes me think that Freewing may have missed the geometry a bit. His landings without using the slats were better than with the slats oddly enough. Interestingly, my dad has strayed away from using the slats too.
Great flying jet! So smooth in the air, nice vid!

Good flying.. It looks so smooth and scale-like in the air..

Nice edf w scale looks , flying off a paved runway it's awesome, but even with the upgraded motor/fan it ate up a lot of real-estate on take-off.
Correction........leading edge slats.
what flight average flight time is he getting from the 8s... I subbed. awesome video btw
Thanks! My friend was getting around 5 minutes flight time.
wow look like i better up grade
yeah, the stock setup doesn't give that great of flight times. The 8s setup is definitely more efficient in that respect.
