      This flight was with the Roaringtop 5500 Mah packs. I've since gone to the SMC 6000 Mah packs. Nah, no amp test. Not familiar with the flyfly F-22. Much appreciated, the club members maintain it well.

    • @frankflyrc
      @frankflyrc 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Likewise! Loved this plane, but too high maintenance flying off a grass field for my taste. The main gear reinforcements were done prior to maiden. All the other fixes and replacements were done after a number of bad landings. This model flies real well and stable but I was having trouble landing this one. I think I only got 1 or 2 good landings with this. But another fellow club member is the proud new owner of this model.:)

    Great flight, love the Freewing 80mm F-14 Tomcat and purchased recently, all setup and ready for my maiden flight. I've seen recommendations for up elevator and down elevator mixes for the F-14. Can you share what if any, flaps to elevator mix you have found effective with your flying experience would be greatly appreciated. I enjoy your flight videos!

      @frankflyrc 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you much! I wish I had a little more time with this model since this video was only the 18th time I flew it as my fellow club member, Jorge is the new owner. Just checked my radio to see if I could answer that question but I've already deleted that profile. I don't think I had any flap mix. As heavy as I had it, it was a real stable flyer in the air. Very 'scale' like. Wish you the very best on your maiden any many happy landings!

      I'm good with the 6s since I already have a set of 4 of those. I'm not trying to get 4 pairs of 4s packs, or find 4 6000 mah 2s packs to pair with the current 6s ones I already have.

      @frankflyrc 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Greetings wades5thscaleforlife872! There are no carbon upgrade parts installed on this model. If you're referring to the carbon reinforcements done on the F-14, I ordered 2 sheets (0.5mm) and glued them together so they actually measured out to around .75mm. Let me know if that helps, or if you're referring to something completely different.

    I have not flown mine yet. How hard is it to fly and land. Is it harder then your F-4

    • @frankflyrc
      @frankflyrc 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This model's flies awesome! Very stable, as long as the CG isn't too far aft. The factory mark was used and it tracks well in the air. Keep in mind, I fly this manual and the on-board gyro is disabled and don't use any other stabilizer. But this one's been giving me fits trying to land. It tends to bounce at touchdown for me, resulting in nose overs, or ground loops. I've only had one decent landing with this one. On the other hand, the F-4 feels harder to fly, but I don't seem to have a problem landing it. I'm actually still working on trying to figure out where to place the CG in this model. The factory marking for this one is too far aft for my comfort. But the last trip out to the field felt too nose-heavy for me after I moved the CG close to 20mm forward. So yeah, still trying to figure this one out. IMHO, neither one of these models are suited for new/beginner EDF flyers. Hope this helps and the best of luck on your maiden! Just let me know if you have any questions about this F-14, or F-4.

    • @frankflyrc
      @frankflyrc 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unfortunately, I don't really do 'content' videos. They're more like my RC flight diary videos, if you will. I put what I use in the Description field of the videos. They're mainly hardware related, and cover any modifications I've made to the models I have, or have had. I use the Radiomaster TX16s radio, and was paired with an FRSky RX6R receiver for this model. There was no stabilizer/gyro used and was flown completely manual at, 100% High rates -> 80% Mid rates -> 60% Low rates. Expo at High rates was at 30% -> Mid rate Expo was at 20% and Low rate Expo at 10%. Those percentages were used across all control surfaces. Hope this helps if you have this model.

    I just picked this plane up used from a guy and he said it flew fine but very tame and underpowered for a 3D plane. I just maidened it and thought the same thing and immediately thought it would open up on 6S. For instance, I can't do infinite climbs as it stalls after a few seconds going straight up and I see you fly mostly pattern with a roll here and there so maybe you haven't really pushed it beyond just a pattern flyer, but have you tried 6S at all?

    • @frankflyrc
      @frankflyrc 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nah, just 4S. It's been sold to a fellow club member. It felt more like a 'trainer/aerobatic' plane. But I think it mostly has to do with the smaller motor/esc combo, plus the more 'scale like' 3 blade prop setup. I have the E-flite Extra 300, and it's a very similar platform, but has more power to play with since it comes stock with a higher powered motor and plus a 2 blade prop.

      @frankflyrc 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you much! The extra power allows this model to cruise around at around 40 - 50% throttle and pretty much has unlimited vertical. The motor and prop are stock. I think the stock esc can handle 4S, but I changed it out just for a little extra peace of mind.

    Hi Frank! I've been watching all your videos because I just picked up one of these used and I'm afraid to maiden until I can get the CG right... Any chance you can give me an idea on where to put a 3200 to get this thing to fly right? The sticker in the compartment wants it just in front of the servos, but it could be pushed all the way into the nose as well...? Did you end up having to add any weight? Hoping you can remember after 5 years!😂

    • @frankflyrc
      @frankflyrc 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Greetings EastCoastLtd! I believe the CG was placed a little further forward than factory. I'm pretty certain I was using Admiral 4000 batteries. The 3200 you have is probably a good deal lighter, and would need to be placed further forward. I don't remember adding additional weight. I would start with the CG a little more forward, and move it back if you feel it's too nose-heavy. Best of luck on your maiden, and many happy landings to follow!

      The original motor was the 9-blade one this model was sold with. There is a noticeable increase in thrust with the newer 12-blade motor, especially when going vertical. But I can't tell any difference in top speed. Granted, I don't do many sustained max throttle runs.
