I just got one for the Habu SS and it is great!!! I would recommend to add some aluminium tape or paint in the back of the fuselage of the Habu, otherwise the whole back of the plane will light up. Thanks again Chris for a wonderful product!
Just saw Top Gun: Maverick yesterday! Now I have a need for speed and also maybe for a Freewing F-14!! When I get that, I will for sure get 2x centerburners!
@@Thercgeek Believe it or not, it’s better than the first. My main problem with the original was that it didn’t have as much flying as I would have liked, but the new one has more! Oh, and Maverick’s custom scheme just might make it onto an RC model one day!
The one in the thumbnail is my friends refinished Freewing Tomcat. He uses the same process I showed when I refinished mine ruclips.net/p/PLwbLS16akD_41Tj_LEh58dNeZNrmJLuzh
Thanks! This current iteration uses a third party controller, but I will look into that. I’m actually working on my own controller design, so definitely can customize it more there.
Hey Chris,great video! I am still hoping to fly again one day,and am getting ready to do a refinish on my nib E-Flite F-4.I hope to put a multiburner in it as well as the new paint and Callie graphics,so one of these days I will be contacting you.Hope all is well with you and your family!
Thanks Don! Things are good here though we're gearing up for a big move to Tennessee! I'll have an announcement about that (along with a giveaway) next month. :) I hope you are recovering well?
Funny you just post this and i received mine yesterday lol....but do everyone and yourself a favor...include a Y harnesses in the package please... Or a pass through on the control board would be AMAZING!
@@Thercgeek a place to eliminate a y harness...these eflite jets pretty much use up all the channels to dedicate one to center burner...we dont wanna buy a 10 channel receiver to do flaperons...and a centerburner so a feed through for your esc would be great so when we recieve the product we can use it right away...instead of ordering a y harness and wait for that....so a built in y harness would set your product above the rest chris....keep that awesome product comin!!
There is not, no. The current draw is really low, so the likelyhood of that happening is small unless you don’t ever charge the pack. I can get multiple outings on a single charge and only use maybe 40% of the capacity in the process.
Yes, I’ve release a V2 that is compatible with the smart telemetry which will allow you to connect it via a yharness on the throttle. 😊. The correct version is my 36mm inrunner design: www.thercgeek.com/product/90mm-CenterBurner-V2-Single
Hi mr geek i installed your burners on my twin 70mm freewing su35 and i had to add 7 ozs of weight to get the jet to balance at the CG in the manual! Is 7ozs too much weight to add?
It’s not uncommon to have to ballast accordingly to get the cg location. However, in this case it sounds like it could use a larger flight battery instead. What capacity flight pack are you using?
Hey Chris...! Have been a fan of your channel for a while now and I thought you might be able to help me out with where to get one of these for my e-flight 80mm f-16 (stock)... I can’t get one here in Australia 🇦🇺. I fly with a number of other guys that would love to have one too. How do I get one to Australia 🇦🇺???
I ship to Australia and the usps has resumed service there again for a little while. There was a website bug that was literally just fixed that was rejecting some international addresses. If you experienced that before, that should be resolved now and you should be able to order. International shipping costs $18. Thanks and I appreciate you very much! 😊
Hi. I just ordered the afterburner for my Viper 90 and notice that my receiver only has 6channel and they all are taken up with flaps, gear etc. Question, How do I connect the burner to my receiver because I do have the NX8 Transmitter with telemetry? I don't have an available channel
Unfortunately because of the smart telemetry, the burner needs to be setup on a separate channel. This is due to the srxl2 communication type that is used that the controller doesn’t know how to interpret. That means a higher count receiver would be needed for the viper. There is a workaround that would allow you to use the 6ch receiver, but it nukes the telemetry. Basically, you can change the channel assignment of the throttle to a different channel, but that means no telemetry data.
@@Thercgeek Okay. So, I can move throttle to another channel but can I move what's on channel 6 to channel 1 with the ESC? Please explain how this is done I don't mind losing telemetry
So, in the channel assignment menu, assign throttle to channel 2 and aileron to channel 1 and then swap those connectors and try that. I recommend testing ailerons first after the swap just to make sure it took correctly before trying the throttle.
Putting this on a y when smart is active only impacts operation of the burner and nothing else. The communication type changes from pwm to srxl2 when Smart is operating which the burner controller doesn’t know how to interpret. Therefore, setting the burner to a separate channel alleviates that and provides a pwm signal for the controller. I am working on my own controller design that will be compatible with srxl2 and have a few more features. Unfortunately due to the chip shortage, I’m not sure when that will come to market.
@@Thercgeek I just installed these and they look awesome! I have two questions. 1, I bought a 2cell 300ma battery. Is 300ma going to be okay for a 3 minute flight? I have no clue what kind of current these draw. and 2, the 3d printed plastic split on several of the set screw when tightening up the grub screws. I didn't crank on them hard either. Actually, one split when just starting the grub screw. They seem to be holding but with the split plastic I am a bit concerned, do you recommend adding some adhesive in addition to the screws? Thanks!
My 80mm 12-bl edf outrunner twin centerburner is ideal for the freewing tomcat! The system was designed specifically with this model in mind. 😊 www.thercgeek.com/product/80mm-CenterBurner-V2-Twin
Best burners in the business!!! I have many of them. I've never had a issue.
Thanks man!
Extremely nice attention to detail
Thank you!
Those are sooo cool. I'll have to get one for my 64mm F9F Panther

Thank you!
OMG That tomcat looks so good! what brand is that?
The one in the thumbnail is my friends refinished Freewing Tomcat. He uses the same process I showed when I refinished mine ruclips.net/p/PLwbLS16akD_41Tj_LEh58dNeZNrmJLuzh
Love the 'flicker' on start up. Would like to see more of the 'flicker' at full throttle. Is that possible?
Thanks! This current iteration uses a third party controller, but I will look into that. I’m actually working on my own controller design, so definitely can customize it more there.
Love the t-shirt Chris!
Thanks! 😊
Just one word.....AWESOME

Is there a voltage cutoff built into the control when powered by the separate 2S battery so it doesn't over discharge that battery?
There is not, no. The current draw is really low, so the likelyhood of that happening is small unless you don’t ever charge the pack. I can get multiple outings on a single charge and only use maybe 40% of the capacity in the process.
Great burners and now everyone is copying yours. Can you add the light around the outside with them? Is there a paint that helps reflect them?
What do you mean by the lights around the outside? Any reflective paint works or even better, foil tape. 😊
The light rings for the afterburners.
Never any issues with the 3D printed cone melting or warping from the heat of the motor?
Haven’t experienced any type of those issues. I use PETG which helps with the thermal properties.
Do you have a led set for the 50mm habu?
Unfortunately I don’t. It’s such a small size, it would require a completely different design to accomplish and I haven’t really looked into it.
Amazing, Top Gun 👍
Will this work on the E Flite Viper 90 BNF? Has smart avian esc and ar637t receiver. Dont think it will have an open port

@@Thercgeek Thanks! Just placed my order for one to go on my first EDF the Viper 90.
Are you using foil tape to prevent light bleed on that thunderbirds 70mm f16?
That’ll do it, or even reflective metallic paint works too.
Very cool 👍🏻🍻
