EPIC RC Jet Flights in Rainy Weather!! ✈️ 8S Freewing F-16 V2 Aerobatics

Watch what this 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! This configuration allows the model to fly more efficiently, reducing trim drag and to maneuver a lot more aggressively! Of course, without a gyro to help you out, the model would be unflyable when set up like this, just as the full scale F-16 that it is modeled after relies on FBW control suites! This setup allows the model to perform both precision and extreme aerial maneuvers at low altitude with relative ease! In this video you can also see very cool scenes of the model taking-off and landing on a wet tarmac! This footage captures the realism and flight capabilities of modern remote controlled jets. Whether you are an enthusiast looking for inspiration or simply appreciate the engineering behind high-performance models, this video offers a close look at how these machines perform in adverse weather conditions. We showcase multiple filming angles as the jet cuts through a cloudy sky during a rainy day, providing a clear view of its flight characteristics when bringing the potential to the limit by setting the model with an unstable CG and compensating it with artificial stabilization provided by a gyro.

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 32nd 03:50 - Flight 33rd 08:26 - Flight 34th 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
