Low and Aggressive... Flying a Tail-Heavy RC Jet in the RAIN !! ✈️ 8S Freewing F-16 V2

Watch the Freewing F-16 V2 90mm EDF perform a couple of EPIC RC Jet Flights in rainy weather using a tail-heavy, gyro-stabilized setup! This video gives a good taste of what the Freewing F-16 V2 90mm EDF RC jet is capable of when adjusted and flown with a rearwards, tail heavy CG and relying on the gyro to provide artificial stabilization! The Freewing F-16 V2 handles well extreme RC jet aerobatics by shifting the center of gravity rearwards and relying on gyro stabilization to compensate. It creates a flight profile similar to full-scale fly-by-wire systems, allowing for flight efficiency and aggressive performance even in adverse weather conditions. This allows the model to pull some crazy aerobatics as you can see in the video, where I perform plenty of daring post-stall maneuvers at low altitude! :D This 8S version offers superior vertical performance and rudder authority compared to smaller alternatives, making it a powerful choice for those prioritizing power and maneuverability.

This jet appeared in the market just about the same time I ordered the FMS one (just after I pulled the trigger to be precise), so I didn't get it straight away, but after 62 flights with the FMS 80mm one I sold it to purchase the Freewing version, as I'm partial to larger jets and 90mm EDFs in general, and hell I am happy with the decision!! :DDD So far, the only things I've seen the FMS 80mm being better at is being a bit more floaty (lower wing loading) which made landings easier, and better knife edge flight, probably thanks to being lighter, too. Other than that, the new FW 90mm version reigns supreme in my opinion! (No, I'm not sponsored by anyone). Despite lacking a thrust vectoring nozzle, the Freewing F-16 V2 can pull some truly wicked post-stall maneuvers. With the FMS I kept telling myself... "If only it featured a bit more power (or a properly sized nozzle) and had more room to move the battery around to ensure a perfect CG"... well, the Freewing Viper fixed that for me! :D This next-generation F-16C 90mm EDF from Freewing showcases a range of performance and design upgrades that elevate realism, flight capability, and convenience. Featuring a striking 64th Aggressors Livery, this model honors the distinguished 64th Aggressor Squadron, part of the legendary Aggressor program initiated in 1972. This squadron played a crucial role in training pilots through dissimilar air combat tactics, emulating potential adversaries. These were flights 32nd to 34th on 'Willow', as I decided to name my second F-16 ;) Pilot: RC4ever Ground video: Luis Ibáñez Airfield: Club Aeromodelisme Vall del Tenes Chapters: 00:00 - Flight 35th 04:02 - Taxi back 04:47 - Flight 36th F-16 SPECS: Wingspan: 955mm Length: 1457mm Flying Weight: 4150g (clean) - 4360g (full ordnance) CG: 142 - 144mm (32-34mm behind the factory CG marks, depending on loadout) Ducted Fan: 90mm, 12 blade Motor: 8S Brushless Inrunner 4075-1350Kv ESC: Freewing 120A w/ 7A UBEC, thrust reversing Stabilator servos: Replaced by PTK 9497 MG-D Other servos: Stock Receiver: Jeti REX12A Assist Current sensor: Jeti MUI200 Main battery: HRB 8S 4200mAh (2x 4S) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can also follow me on: YouTube:    / airguardian   Facebook:   / rc4ever   Instagram:   / airguardian   Twitter:   / rc4media   Patreon:   / airguardian   All Links: https://beacons.ai/rc4ever
