The Freewing Glue is contact glue, use a thin coat on both surfaces fit the parts together pull them apart and let the glue dry a while, 1 minute, and press the parts in place. Jeff in LA USA

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with motionrc and one of my favorite planes is the freewing 80mm Avanti v2. Sometimes a model is a miss but freewing has more hits than misses.
@gmorphan Ай бұрын
I've got an 80mm AvantiS and it's probably one of the best sport jets in that class. But even on paper, this 4S twin 64mm A-10 is gonna be little light on power. And it wouldn't be the first time I've had to play around with CG on some of the lower cost planes out there.

This is all wrong. If an aircraft is tail heavy it will not have a nose down flight tendency. The glue that comes with the kit is fine. Dont overuse the glue and glob it on and not clean up after. If a little oozes out and you leave it, of course it’s going to look bad. That was just bad assembly of the model. The stickers on servo wires are not a big deal and would make it even harder to fish through the wing. I don’t know why you are complaining about having to fish wires through a fuselage. It’s not hard. Many many models have that design. It’s part of the hobby and if someone is complaining about that then this hobby isn’t for them. This aircraft did not get a fair review and wasn’t assembled very well either looking at the pictures you have. Looked like you rushed the build and just slapped a receiver in it with no Velcro or anything and stuffing the antennas in the nose (which is a big no no) because of dead zones on receiver antennas. They have to be 90 degrees from each other. If you had AS3X or SAFE programmed in then that would explain why it was flying the way it flew. The receiver has to be secure and not be able move or else vibration and forces of flight will cause it to jump around in there and it will think the aircraft is flying like this but it’s actually the receiver moving. So it compensates for itself and moves control surfaces that don’t need to be moved. Please get better and not bash rc planes. Some people don’t have the money to spend on an E flite aircraft. Be fair to all products

The bias is very obvious in this whole clip, very sad. No company would have a model that flies like this, set up was wrong. Trash talking a company about one of their products that was not set up the right way is not cool at all, fail.
@JN24185 16 күн бұрын
This is 100% caused by the way the receiver is tossed in there. It looks like an AR631. Which absolutely must be secured, aligned and programmed. Correctly. This was a really bad review and I have to agree, comes across as a hit piece.

That's by far, in my opinion, the BEST LOOKING A-10 I've ever seen, and remember, sometimes it takes a few flights to dial in a new bird.

I genuinely appreciate that you bring enthusiasm for the RC hobby to a wide audience, and make things seem simple, easy, and approachable. The hobby has gone through massive changes over the past 20 years, and it truly is easier than ever. WITH THAT SAID: I really think it would benefit your viewers to dig a little deeper once in a while in a situation like this. The manual for this aircraft specifies a CG range that is less than a quarter of an inch. Use this as an opportunity to show how it's done! Warbirds/scale models in particular can be really sensitive to improper setup, and as your viewers transition into larger, more expensive, and more complicated airframes, they need to know how to do so safely and properly. It's important to check the CG and make it right before that maiden. Pushing the battery forward may not be enough - maybe it needs lead shoved into the nose foam. Part of a review is showing whatever extra work you had to go through to make the model right for the maiden - and it's of benefit to your viewers. Sure, the eflite A10 is better; but there is still plenty to learn and gain from this model - and maybe with a little more time invested, it just might be a fine flying model with scale flight performance to back up it's looks. Kick it up a notch and let's find out!

Nate, dude. You KNOW the receiver can’t just be tossed in there. Unless you EVER only bought Bind N Fly’s. ALL Spektrum receivers MUST be secured and aligned if using AS3X or SAFE and then forward programming has to be done(correctly). If not, this is EXACTLY what happens. I do this all the time with PNP’s. However, I did once have a receiver come loose in a plane and it looked EXACTLY like this. If it’s not a spectrum receiver, disregard all of the above 😂 Looks like and AR631 though, in which case everything above applies. The more I watch the more frustrating I find it. Especially seeing all the people who just take your word for it, when in reality it was your mistake.
@TheRcSaylors 16 күн бұрын
You have extremely valid points! Yes, if AS3X and SAFE were turned on, on a Spektrum RX and I just tossed it loosely in an airplane, it would probably not even by flyable honestly. But in this case, those features were not turned on. In fact, I’ve flown hundreds of planes with Spektrum receivers tossed loosely in the plane (not recommended) but not as lose that it could hit a servo or something and have had nothing but success. Again, you have a very great thought process on this matter. I intend to do a follow up on the concept of CG in airplanes, which I believe is the main issue here. That, or too much drag and not enough power possibly. Happy Flying and thanks for watching and your input! 👍💯😎🙏⚓️

@travisjacobus3381 27 күн бұрын
Not sure what receiver you’re using, but definitely looked spectrum. If it has AS3X/SAFE, you can’t just throw it around in there after programming and expect it to work correctly. Also if you were holding up elevator, I would think it’s nose heavy, not tail heavy. The way it looked to be nose diving definitely seemed that way 🤷♂️. Also the freewing glue is my favorite foam glue. It just needs to be used correctly. Not the entire tube squeezed into one vertical stab.

I have the older version of the Freewing 64mm A-10. I assembled mine using neodymium magnets to hold the ordinances and fuel tank on, and maidened it without them. Take it from me, you do NOT want to fly on a 2200 mAh battery. I kept my flight short, since I flew on the smallest battery recommended, but came in a bit high on my first landing approach. When I went to throttle up to go around, I didn't have enough power left, and crashed. That said, when I was flying it, it flew fine for me. It took me a few moments to get the feel of the controls, but the crash was my fault for not have enough battery for the timer I had set. I usually try to make sure I have my timer expire with enough power left for an extra go-around or two if needed, and since I didn't really have a good idea of how much power it was going to pull, I miscalculated.

throwing a battery in, not checking CG just before flight, not digging a bit more on the trimming issue... fair enough, is an out of the box review, but is it a fair one? I honestly think the problem there was the drag of all the missiles and shit. A tail heavy plane once with speed tends to pitch up, yours was pitching down (probably too forward). Getting to identify the issue and fixing it, would be a way to understand if the savings are worth it. As it was, it was friking unflyable... and it shows. But are you hands down convinced that is the actual performance of this airframe once settled up? Btw...the dig on the tail heavy guys was unnecessary... Awesome save in the first fly tho kudos on your sticks reactions

Not sure what you mean about a dig, but regarding the plane I acknowledge there needs to be work done for this to fly better. Look, we share our honest and generally out of the box experience on all planes.

That glue is actually really good. It's a contact cement. You have to put a little bit on both sides a very small amount like a thin film and let it sit for 5 minutes before you press the parts together. If you just goop it on and press it together it will take forever to dry and make a mess. I use it all the time. You can use magnets for the ordinance like I did. I wish they would include magnets. I also wish they would include an ELF to build it for me cause frankly I'm tired of building stuff. Also with all the advancements, there is no reason to use glue. Everything should be made to screw together. I just want to pull it out and fly. lol Negative Nate cracks me up. 😂

Haven’t tried the Freewing A-10, but the 70mm F-16 flies circles around the Eflite 70mm Thunderbird. Way faster and lighter on its feet. That being said the build quality isn’t quite as good as the Eflite offering imo. Maybe try taking a Spektrum AR637TA and downloading the programming from the Eflite Warthog onto it and installing it in your Freewing A-10… since it’s basically the same size as the Eflite one I’d think with the correct transmitter and receiver programming it would fly pretty much exactly like it’s supposed to fly, like the Eflite one does…. Probably worth a shot…. And as far as CG goes, I always go as far back as I possibly can in all my EDF’s and the further rearward the better they fly for me…. Makes me think that maybe your control throws were off or something. Using the Eflite receiver programming and transmitter programming would alleviate those issues more than likely. Good luck with it!
@GreenerShadeRC Ай бұрын
The big difference between the E-Flite and Freewing 70mm F-16 is the horizontal stabs. Full moving on the vs only elevator surfaces on E-Flite. The E-flite may have a bit more torque as well. Tailerons are very effective on the Freewing F-16. Regarding the A-10s, I have one of the same green camo versions in my hangar that has yet to fly, not for lack of trying. (Been flying my Freewing F-16 and Eflite P-47 and Air Tractor instead.) Have spent so much time on the Freewing A-10 and just about have given up. The E-flite A-10 is VASTLY superior.

No company is going to make an aircraft fly like that out of the box, they would not have a business for very long if they did, the set up was completely wrong, I've been flying for years and the CG was off on this plane for sure. I am not partial to any brand of RC, but this aircraft was clearly not set up properly.
@TheRcSaylors Ай бұрын
The cheap Aeroscout just about flies like this out of the box, for example. They may have fixed it now, but the early product like flew pretty rough. I say this because all companies are capable of releasing a dud! DJI and their first mini was pretty awful too. We made a very unpopular video on that topic that made a LOT of DJI fans mad, but it was true! So true that DJI released an updated version a mere months later. It happens! This was just our honest maiden experience 💯⚓️

With a 3200mah battery, plane requires at least 2 ounces of lead in the front. With a 4000mah battery, one ounce is sufficient. This is an old model from Freewing with a new paintjob. Landing gear is terrible. Assembly is cumbersome. Fit and finish is only ok. Plane has many issues, flying being one of them. This is definitely not one of Freewing''s better planes.
@GreenerShadeRC Ай бұрын
The added weight suggestion is what I have been told. I could never get this plane to fly. Haven't totally given up. Intend to strip it down of ordinances, change aileron and elevator servos, put a cheap receiver in it, and try again.
@greg0063 Ай бұрын
Loose all the ordinance. Its a big airbrake and will cause the nose to drop. The look isn't worth it. If your elevator is trimmed significantly up when you land then it's too nose heavy. (Or it's compensating fro all that drag down low) Same reason cubs climb under power, thrust is low and drag is up high. (Other direction)
@userTJ39780 Ай бұрын
Lots of my swap meet finds flew like that initially. On the maiden, I'll tend to just trim the elevator down until it flies straight and level. However, it will definitely fly better with a fixed cg. I'm laying off new jet purchases for now, but I could definitely get that trimmed. I have enough experience flying tail-heavy planes on purpose! (Oh, and I have been wind foiling my windsurfer on these windy days!)

Is it my imagination or are a lot of comments getting deleted? I suggested a couple things in various places as replies. Like doing a video after trimming it so that it flies. I also had a comment on the video’s initial shaming of Motion because you didn’t like their reward scheme to only compensate you on new referrals instead returning current customers. That should have been separate business, too much inside baseball on your income stream from the videos. Really, you should get the cog right, trim it. Possibly compare notes from your first set up to the current motion RC set up guide in their video. A lot of planes are squirrelly out of the box, some of it from plane to plane variance in manufacture. Good luck in your endeavors.

Nate, please try the Freewing Vulcan 6s. Overall, I found it to be a relatively easy build and it is a MAGNIFICENT flyer! Plus, that bright yellow makes for excellent visibility in the sky! With that said, I have to admit that the decals are a bit of a letdown as I have one pealing off on one wing. It’s a bummer, but I still love the plane and I think you will too if you give it a try.

Ive only got FMS and Eflight planes. I enjoy the "build" part of this hobby. So, i have considered Dynam planes and even some Freewing/motionRC planes that are priced low-ish. I have no desire to give Motion a single dollar after this- not because of the video. The video actually entrigued me quite a bit MORE- i kind of wanted to see what i could do with it. But, after reading some of the trashy MotionRC fanclub comments- just name calling and cherry picking you "bashing" the product? No thanks. I dont want anything to do with that nonsense. Other youtubers have hinted about that company and their questionable practices. I didnt know how right they are. Crappy companies have crappy fans.

God bless Wesley for actually pulling off a decent flight and landing in that beast.
@GreenerShadeRC Ай бұрын
This is the only Freewing plane that I have that has been more Dynam-like. Spent a bunch of time rerouting the servo leads, adding extension as needed, put an 8 channel AS3X receiver, removed blue box, and setup per assembly book. On maiden takeoff, plane took the entire runway to lift, and when it got about 10 feet high, pitched down violently. Plane pancaked into grass with a hard 3 point landing. New front retract and some foam repair, I tried again. Plane never would lift off the runway. After many fails, I packed it back into the truck, took it home, stripped the receiver, and there it sits. I tried leaving reviews on Motion RC, always giving the plane the benefit of doubt. NONE of these reviews have made it on to the Motion website. Shame on Motion and Freewing for putting this piece of junk out one more time, albeit with a new paint job. Seems like they wanted to rake a bit more of those hard-earned RC dollars from it's customers and didn't have a good new release so they re-released this pig. I have many Freewing planes, and most are great. Freewing does not go cheap when it comes to hinge or overall build quality that you will sometimes find with E-flite. But E-flite planes always fly. Hats off to Eflite's engineering department for this. Will continue to buy E-flite, FMS, Freewing, and X-Fly Model planes. Except now, I will look for the above-mentioned red flags when shopping for a new plane.

One note, you said you were using the recommended battery. In fact it was too small as they recommend a 3300 and you ran a 3200. Additionally, Spektrum batteries tend to be lighter than others and this may have caused your CG problem. I do commend you for managing to land it the first time. Looked very sketchy

Speky SMART 6s7000mah is a full pound heavier than a Liperior 6s7000mah. I have not found SMART batteries to be lighter than comparable dumb batteries. I like my SMART bricks, but I use dumb batteries just as much. I would say choosing a battery for a plane just on cell count and capacity while ignoring the actual mass/weight of the battery is a mistake.

Why didn't you check the CG on Camera? It should tell you on the manual where on the wing the CG should be. Just because you put the recommended size battery does not mean it will be correct. Sometimes you need to add nose weight. Especially if you used a heavier glue like hot glue to put it together which can add lots of weight to the tail. Always physically check the CG on the wing to see if it is balancing on the CG. If not add some weight to the nose. Otherwise, it will never fly well. Not all batteries weigh the same. Edit don't worry about all the negative comments. They are just Moition RC shills. They will attack anyone who says anything wrong about their planes. The problem I see is next time show yourself physically checking the CG of the planes before the flight otherwise you will always have people get upset when a plane doesn't fly well. Balance it on the CG upside down for low-wing planes and right side up for high-wing planes. I know that A10 flies very well because I have flown one at our club. You also need to add a bit of upelevator after you get the correct CG. Once you do that it will fly perfectly. Keep your head up. Don't let the negative people bother you. I would just block them.

You also made a public complaint that Motion limits your income off of referrals. That’s probably something you should have kept behind the scenes as it looked very unprofessional. But hey I’m just a guy that buys planes with my own money. Keep the cheer in your voice, keep the enthusiasm for flying, work on your plane set ups and add that to the second half of the video. Lord knows I have planes fly like that when the recommended high rates were ridiculously high. If you work that out, demo fly with your happy settings and present that information, then you will be doing a service to the market and add value to your work.
