It might look impressive. Had mine for 4 days now and the lights work and that's it. So for 600 bucks I have purchased a plane that needs new parts. Great deal!! B-2 did the same thing. So, i'll eat this purchase and deal with it. But I will not purchase another Freewing product. Motion Rc is a great place for me to just get batteries.
I sent this comment to them, but so far, there have been no reactions. They know they are selling a lemon and don't want to accept it. "When are you guys going to post a video talking about the new Freewing F-16 90mm V2 ESC controversy? You need to clarify to us, your customers, the differences between these new Hobbywing ESCs and the Freewing ones. The ones the F-16 90mm V2 comes with in the 6S version don’t beep the cell count as normal ESCs do. Your silence on this matter is concerning. What are you guys hiding, if anything?"
Some nice improvements, wish they had redesigned the nosegear for better ducting. Also still using wood screws for the elevator and the rudder is not good, I had to replace all of mine with machine screws since I store my v1 in its box so it comes apart very often. I wonder if the plastic gear covers will be compatible with the v1
Model looks beautiful. I wish it were within my budget. I hope the final product has a little better QC on the decals applied to the vertical stab. The one in this video looks like the WA and 418 markings aren't lined up very well with each other, especially on the starboard side.
Wes - looks like the screws for the elevator shafts are the machine screws and not the wood screws? The wood screw protrude out and do not sit flat on the elevator shaft. I think the remaining m4 wood screws are for the bottom fins. Any comments?
I agree I tried this with provided wood screws as per instructions and it messed up the plane. Makes no sense. I’m waiting to hear back from motion as I want a new fuselage . Striped the opening and now the 7 mm flat screws won’t fit either
Real lack in the current market is a lovely ,high quality F4 phantom II in 64 mm 4S Size. I know several modelers who are looking for one. Freewing 90mm EDF is great but it is very large in size and also has a high cost for lots of modelers. Dear Motion RC Team, Woud you please work on it and provide one?
That's fantastic. But let's see if we can get at least 6 minutes of flight time is nothing worse than enjoying a flight and having to land after 3 to 4 minutes . It's all great. BUT GET MORE FLIGHT TIME. Instead of all the fancy Shit.

Did Freewing consult with Thee Rivet Expert your Dad, I hope they brought him on as a consultant .. otherwise there could be some creative criticism..LOL !! hope all is well.. Yeah the new bird is beautiful.. air brakes, seems with every model,comes improvement..they lose little bit more of that foamy alligator skin look.. betcha it looks COOL in the air.. great camo livery .. like to see a turbine ready model, where the existing electic fan can be removed, turbine installed .. easy peasy.... . give the the buyer the option..
PLEASE learn the nomenclature for the various parts of the models you’re displaying. Stabilator vs elevator. Drop tanks vs bombs. Refueling probe vs pitot probe (Cougar). Camera vs radar (F-14). You’re representing MRC, so yes, these things matter.
No excuses, no 🍌, just high quality with simplicity out of the box. That’s how you do it! Can’t wait to get one :)
Thanks Wes!

BEAUTIFUL!! 😱😱
Please also offer a high visibility scheme we can see in the air.

Why the wood screws for horizontal stabilizer? I had trouble with that. Wouldnt flat end screws work better on the rod ?
Any chance this v2 will come in a grey version?
geees now I wish I was a model flyer...
F16s are the best rc edfs. I hope this flies even better than the eflite 80mm F16.
I really do like it and yes it looks good BUT at $640 that's WAY out of my price range !!!!!!
Nothing but a nightmare for me. Had mine 4 days and it will not work. Electronics are screwed!! I just ate 600 bucks.
Now they just need a twin 90 mm F14 Tomcat. With scale gear and gear doors.
Awesome
I'll miss the afterburner. Otherwise great improvements.
What happened to the afterburner? Can’t attach it anymore?
Nice.Now I need to save up😢
Hopefully they fix those crooked decals on the vertical stab prior to shipping... They're driving me crazy lol
Would love to molded foam conformal tanks available as an optional extra. It would allow options to finish it as Block 70 or Israeli versions. 👍
what battery is recommended for the 8s version ?
I think on the website it said 1 6s 5000 50c and 1 2s 5000 50c
You skipped over which channel each servo should be plugged into, I bought the bundle from y'all's website but flaps and reverse thrust don't work
now update the gripen
