Agreed!! The Gripen is definitely the best plane in the video!! The Flyfans might be my favorite jet now!

Great video. Thanks for the comparison. You answered all my questions. Sorry if I missed it in the video, but what times are you getting with a 3300 in the FlyFans? Thanks

I'm not sure I did mention it. With throttle management you can easily get 3 to 3&1/2 minutes. If I am pushing the jet, I may bring it down at 2:45ish. I generally land and have 20 -30% left on the pack. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching!

Never had a plane with functioning canards but I am considering getting this. Anything to look out for with setting up/flying with the canards?

Not knowing your experience level, I can only tell you how I set mine up and you can start there. If you are getting the Flyfans 70mm I would start with the motion rc Gripen canard setup video. Then dial the throws to 50% on the elevator and on the aileron. If you go with the Freewing 80mm I would start at 60-65% on both elevator and aileron. I personally do not use dual rates or expo on any of my planes. I would use the amount you are comfortable with on most other planes. Good luck, hope this helped. Have a great maiden let me know which one you choose and how it goes. Also don't hesitate to ask if you need more info! Thanks for checkin out the channel!

Interesting!

Going to finally order the Flyfans. Do I need to order a receiver with more than 6 channels, if I want to have SAFE as a backup?

@redbeardreviewsrc

Жыл бұрын

Nice choice! And yea you do need at least seven channels to mix the aileron and elevators to the canards. I use the 8020T with no safe, but they do sell that as an option. Good luck with it brother!

In terms of scale looks, freewing messed up the front of the plane and Flyfans messed up the back. Nice video by the way

I’ve heard about the motion rc gripen setup video, I finally put mine together again (had some missing parts lol) if I’m on spectrum nx8 for most of my planes you have any thoughts on a reciever?

I like the 8020T. I put them in all of my larger or more expensive planes, sometimes with an extra antenna. Hope you have a great maiden and good luck with your Gripen! Thanks for watching!

@@blohundur1881 I would not recommend the Gripen in that case. I would go with a 70mm F-16, they have great flight characteristics. Preferably Eflite or FMS. If not the Freewing is a more budget friendly option. If you are looking for 80mm, again I would go eflite F-16 or 80mm T-7 from XFLY. Let me know what you decide. Good luck!

@redbeardreviewsrc

Жыл бұрын

Agree about the paint scheme for sure! The Freewing flies heavier, and I guess I have to order the entire gear setup. Because I haven't gotten to fly the Freewing since before I released the video because I still don't have the plastic gear door adjustment linkage that fell out. And now the door won't close. HUGE minus if I can't fly it because their pieces fall off!! All I can speak on is my experience, glad you have had good luck! Thanks for watching and commenting!
