I have been flying drones for fun for over 10 yrs. RC planes are the next step. I’ll prob have to door dash after my main job to get one, but worth it think
The FMS model is great, fast, the turbine sounds nice, with the 3300 package you can fly for up to 5 minutes without saving gas. It flies nicely on the flaps and goes vertically up when necessary. It's really fun to fly :)😎🤙
I have both, the freewing is way more accurate to the real world counterpart when it comes to the nose, intakes,canopy and the tail. for me i find the freewing flies nicer than the fms. I in my 40plus years of r/c never went with hype, and all the big boys (those with very deep pockets) always buy fms just because they could... just like people that buy apple products, for the hype/name/clout so for the Yak my first was was FMS just not to get heckled, i soon after buy the freewing and fms sits there hardly ever used.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 LOL i have the freewing 90mm yak :) think going on 4 years now... 2 of my fav birds of all time are the T45's and Yaks.. so i have a collection of both. my comment however was based on 70mm freewing vs fms I dont think fms sells a 90mm yak do they? not that i would buy it anyways LOL
Well done Captain and Jedi Steve!!!; they both look "real", sound "real" and well...."fly real" !!!; simply amazing!; the speed of both was also pretty crazy however, it would be interesting to compare them to the Inspire 1 !!! (sorry Captain, couldn't help that !!!) ; as an aside, your video productions (graphics / intro / background music) are just superb !
I heavily researched these two. The outrunner motor in the Freewing gives more torque initially, but the inrunner is more efficient. I prefer the gear on the FMS, and so it’s my favorite EDF of all time. $275 we’ll worth it.
STEVE ... you are checking the speed with an app on your phone ? I like the RED one better, both are pretty NOISY ! ONLY negative I see is that they go sa fast that you have to continually fly them in a circle or it disappears over the horizon !
What a bad idea for freewing to paint it green:it is ugly and more difficult to seeWas much better red Thank you captain drone and your friend Very intéresting video
I believe you take off on a hard service and land on the grass as it make for a softer landing and this is better for the undercarriage ? or maybe you have no reason which it is 😊👍👍 great looking planes and superb speed✈️👍
I land planes on grass because landing on gravel is dangerous. As soon as you hit a rock or small hole the plane bounces and often goes back in the air a bit causing a greater chance of a wing tip hitting the ground.
As of late July 2024, the price spread between the two is approx $100 (Freewing Yak 130 PNP is $239.00 via Motion RC vs. FMS Yak 130 is $339.99 via FMS store). Somehow I think that counts a little more than "a little less expensive" and is a very powerful argument in favor of Freewing. Assuming of course the flight characteristics are otherwise similar. Both aircraft seem to have good reputations for being stable flyers. The speed difference isn't enough to quibble about... 101 mph vs 108 mph is not that much and there are any number of factors that could make up that difference like the battery used for example. Dimension-wise, the two planes are extremely similar... I won't say identical, but so close to each other they might as well be. I already own several FMS products, mostly cars, and I can and am willing to vouch for the quality of their models overall. The FMS definitely does back-flip well, don't know if the Freewing is as capable. The FMS does have a better landing gear and indeed also seems to be more efficient in power use. So the question becomes is that worth $100 to go with the FMS? For the hardware alone? No... definitely not. For the ability to do kulbits? Maybe... It depends on a few things. More in a moment... The Freewing is more to scale, roomier, sounds better, and considerably less expensive. Supposedly it can fly a little slower as well. To me it's really a no-brainer. If I knew for sure that the Freewing could do the back-flips, then it would be no contest or debate. The reason the FMS Yak can do the back-flips is because of the thrust-line angled slightly upwards. I don't know what the thrust-line on the Freewing is. There's not a lot of info available on the Freewing outside of Motion RC either. Even at that, I've only run across the one content creator on TH-cam that has actually performed this trick. Assuming that the thrust-line is 0* straight, is this something that could be easily addressed like shimming the motor/fan assembly? Logic says that has to be it because the two planes are so very similar like I mentioned above. Then there's also the question of how important having that kind of agility is to the pilot. My primary interest in r/c planes is doing 3D, so yeah agility and capability of doing those kinds of stunts is important. Yeah, I'm shopping around for a new plane, and are looking at this one rather intently. I do thank you for this video as it has helped put a few things in perspective.
It all depends how level the planes fly without diving, and that the same battery and same pilot is used flying the same course. If none of that is done then the test may not be relevant.
The first thing I noticed was the $100 difference in price. However, the landing gear on the red Yak looks much better.
Excellent Comparison Video Steve and Jedi Steve. Thank You.
Enjoyed the video. The sound was fantastic. Made me think that I was at the airport watching the real planes. 👍👍
Good review and comparison video Steve.
Hi Steve and Jedi Steve.....Really great video. I think the sound of those planes are awesome. Nice shot of the smokey sun........👍
Thx for the inspirational video Captain!
Would have been better without the music. Sound of the engines is far better...
The music sucks

You should try the 90mm version of the YAK… now that beast is Detailed and has that beautiful 90mm sound. You may see it on my channel.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 LOL i have the freewing 90mm yak :) think going on 4 years now...

Really nice set up
The one on the right😁good job like always 👍👍

Another great video. Love the sound of both planes as so realistic to real thing. 👍👍
Love you videos!
I like them both
You and Jedi Steve= two bad mama jammas😮!!!!! 🎉👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Both sound so real when they leave the ground there nice I like them both 😊
Great video they sound good
Excellent thank you.🇬🇧
your reviews are really good.👌😎
Glad you like them!
"Full Bananas"
Is that a technical term
😅👍
anotger great review captain
My buddy has the Red one and it’s FAST 💨
Should have the camera facing forward to make it look like your in the pilot seat
9:22... A little less ? It's $100 USD Less Steve. I just hate the Green Color.
How did you do that cool scan purple effect at 0:36??
Just one of many visual effect plugins for FCX Pro
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 tHANK you captain, Im a big fan!
If I put a Spektrum reciver in the Freewing one could I have safe and as3x in it?
Yes, I do that all the time.
Where did you get the lights that are installed on the green one?
Amazon. amzn.to/3PPZZhJ
STEVE ... you are checking the speed with an app on your phone ?
I like the RED one better, both are pretty NOISY !
ONLY negative I see is that they go sa fast that you have to continually fly them in a circle or it disappears over the horizon !
The GPS used is Bluetooth. I have a link to it in the links below the video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I see that now
I found some apps for your phone that can detect speed of an object, worth checking out for sure
What a bad idea for freewing to paint it green:it is ugly and more difficult to seeWas much better
red Thank you captain drone and your friend Very intéresting video
maybe with those fuel tanks off on the yak it might pick up more speed
it traks. I did this the other day with my big red yak. 105mph. no drop tanks in a dive.
Wish i could buy it, but i live in Norway and shipping is like 90 dollars.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes I can see the No No's of landing on a hard service. Thanks Steve
Can you give the cheapest drone that you have plz ❤❤
I would have liked to hear the EDF in the air instead of the background music.
I doubt the camera would’ve picked up much. And the onboard camera would’ve captured all airflow which is similar to blowing on a microphone 🎤
@@dronepilot260rc It picks up plenty , many many videos on youtube that show EDF's with great sound coming from the model.
@@winstonsmith7801oh ok so that means you’ve heard what they sound like 😂
@@dronepilot260rc I was commenting on the background music in this video , professor.
Sounds like you know where to go to hear EDF sounds. Good day mate 🥂

Yeah, I'm shopping around for a new plane, and are looking at this one rather intently. I do thank you for this video as it has helped put a few things in perspective.
I’m guessing you live in the USA? If you shop around you’ll find even lower prices.
@@Reindeer911one of the popular stores people in the RC plane hobby buy from (that live outside the USA) is RC Castle.
👍
10km or 6 miles faster? For the name of my children, I can't tell the difference. Seriously :-)
You need to use freaking FREEDOM UNITS already. LOL None of this kph.
Can you count the number of countries in the world that use "freedom units" ? I think you'd be stuck with just one finger :-)
Freewing was faster on another channel.
It all depends how level the planes fly without diving, and that the same battery and same pilot is used flying the same course. If none of that is done then the test may not be relevant.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Then you need to take out the co-pilot out of the Freewing to make the weight equal :)
@@lancelink88 Good point 😂
Wow nice speed
