In this video we are reviewing both the E-Flite and the Freewing 70mm F-16s, to find out which F-16 is the best on the market right now. We flew both planes on Roaring Top 6s 3700 batteries and set up as close as possible with suspension retracts and gyro systems. The race was close, but you have to watch the video to find out which one was the winner. there is a new version of the Freewing that comes with the suspension retracts from the factory now for $259 linked below now it’s even a harder decision lol.

We need to get you an upgraded F-16 so you don't have to fiddle. With the admiral receiver on the upgraded one you'd land at $289. But great review Wes! If anything, now people can get an Arctic Camo F-16 and Thunderbirds F-16 because we all can never have too many F-16's!

Motion RC glad I saw this post because I was dying for the Arctic Camo and then after this was slightly leaning toward no fiddle. Most of planes are HH/Eflite. But the camo on yours is just to good to pass up. So u sold me with this comment. Im going to have to man up and order one now.

@@MerryBoozerRC If you look at scale though, freewing has it on the spot because the eflite F-16 has too much ground clearance in the rear for scale. The freewing has the right height or close to the full scale 11:05

I found with the freewing F16 that if your program 30 percent spoilerons instead if flaperons you can bury the elevator in high alpha and pitch the aircraft at more than 45 degrees flying it on power alone. Its incredible how it handles. I'm going on my 2 year on the same airframe

I bought my F-16.. Fighting falcon.. and I only paid $275 for it.. through motion RC and it came with a V2 and it came with the aluminum retrax... And the new in runner 2957-2210 KV.. and I put a hundred amp adjustablle. Ztw ESC.. all I did was advancement timing to 15 degrees.. and it pulls right at 2,000 Watts. And I use a 4500 milliamp battery 80 c... And we clocked it at 142 miles per hour.... My friends FMS 70 mm Thunderbird couldn't even catch.... And when I bought this I got a good deal on it.. if you want to go fast go with freewing...... FMS is okay BUT FREEWING IS THE BEST!!!!! NOW WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE!!!!

I did the third option with the Motion RC F-16. I bought the ARF plus version, without the motor and ESC. I put in a JP Hobby all metal fan/motor, amd ESC combo, and I fly it with a 6S 5000 pack. To make it the ultimate speed demon, i removed the retracts completely and taped over the openings, and I didn’t install the fins on the bottom of the fuselage. This allows me to hand launch this plane, and belly land it. We don’t have paved runways anywhere nearby, and these mods help the plane go even faster. This thing screams, and is always a head turner when I fly it. :)

I did the same thing to my.. Dynam. V3 meteor... All aluminum JP fan... And since this jet is very light.. we clocked it at 152 mph... And we did this with only a 4S battery 4000 milliamp 60 c... But I used 150 amp ESC gecko.. adjustable... We adjusted it to just 8 degrees advance... And it pulled over 2,200 watts.on the watt meter.... Not bad for $150 jet... It's fun to go to the airfield and outrun.. everybody that's running a 80 mm to a 90 mm.... They keep asking me how am I making this fast and I don't tell him anything I just tell him it's all stock..

Thanks Wes, I’ve really been torn about these since the artic camo is really my favorite but really like the entire package with the E-flite, however I’m glad to see that Freewing now offers the F16 in the pro edition with the upgraded motor and retracts now which may help with my decision, if the offered the camo in a 90mm I wouldn’t have to decide, I’ve really been thinking about getting the 90mm Freewing F16 in the grey and just doing what you and I love to do.....an artic camo airbrushing repaint. BUT WAIT....then I go to the HSD F16 camo which I’d get in the turbine frame and set up with a high proformance JP fan and all would be right, but by the time you do the jet, retracts, ESC, and fan, oh and let’s not forget the receiver/gyro, now my wallet is going, ouch. Man, the struggles....thanks for a great video Wes and showing us 2 really sweet birds, another awesome video👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼

Jeff’s Custom RC ok in my personal opinion the 70mm freewing is the plane for you. The 90mm F-16 is a brick and doesn’t fly anywhere close to as good as the 70. You will definitely not be disappointed in the 70 mm arctic camo free wing F-16 get one and thank me later. Just tell them who sent you. Also get the V2 freewing I linked in the description for $259 with the in runner motor and upgraded re-tracks right out of the box you can’t go wrong

Nice review! I have both and I have to side with the freewing. They both fly great, but I have to say that the eflite has a slightly artificial feel with the gyro compared to the admiral. The freewing slows to a crawl as does the eflite. I feel completely connected to the freewing and the eflite I feel like I’m telling the gyro what to do. Finally...the eflite canopy kept coming off in flight. I’d say it’s an anomaly, but I’ve seen others with the same issue.

Also, if I may offer a tip for video recording of the airplanes in flight. Disable auto-focus, and use manual focus. Before recording, with manual focus enabled, focus on an object off in the distance. For example that white house next to the tree that is seen right after take off (1:34 mark). Additionally, in order to have a chance at keeping the fast close-in passes within the shot, you have to stand a few yards back from the flight line, and use zoom (sparingly) in and out as needed. I learned all of these the hard way when I was recording at events. One of my favorite videos I shot a while ago: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mb50rNZ3x8Wmgmg.html

The E-FLiteF 16 is better because if you pair it with the MLP6DSM 6CH SAFE Transmitter 2.4GHz: 180 QX HD a beginner can use it because it limits the tilt. He said he spent $44 on the receiver but an as3x receiver costs $80. So the e flite is cheaper. This comparison is still not equal

Well you can use safe with the DX6E but you can use safe select and all the features. On the F16 you can because it doesn’t have flaps. So you only are using 5 of your 6 channels meaning you have one open channel for save select. But if you get an airplane in the future that Jase retracts and flaps so a 6 channel plane you won’t have an open 7th channel for safe select. That’s the mane reason the DX8E was brought to market 😉

@MerryBoozerRC 4 жыл бұрын
lw216316 you can’t program flaperons with the stock as3x receiver. Yes it has safe but in my opinion if your buying a 100mph plane you sold be past needing safe. It’s a great tool but I feel it’s allowed people to fly things the shouldn’t.
@lw216316
@lw216316 4 жыл бұрын
So - for flaperons, its a software restriction by the receiver and not a mechanical restriction by a y- harness. I have put flaperons on an AR620 receiver - but did not know it won't work on a 636 (or 636a) whatever is in the F-16. As for the safe option - since a wide variety of pilots watch your review, I suspect there are some who would like that option and others who will not activate it during the bind. Even if it is activated during the bind it can be programmed to a switch and used or not used as desired. Not all safe options are the same. Some planes allow it to function like a beginner mode and some planes I've had allow it to function only as an emergency mode to get you straight and level - and you then need to get back to your normal mode quickly to get enough control surface movement to get the plane back to you. Here is a maiden flight on the F-16 by theRcSaylors who review lots of planes. He using safe on the maiden and it has a good amount of deflection allowed on the controls. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJ1-dJyevMCoaWw.html I like using safe on a maiden if there is a good amount of control. After that I only use it as an emergency switch. The Marlin was my first jet. I'm planning to move up to the F-16 soon - so the safe option looks good to me.

@@MerryBoozerRC That's a good option to consider. I could get an open stock receiver and add a gyro (with or without a safe option). I recently bought an A3 Pro with plans to try it in an old plane but maybe I'll try it in the F-16 ! So if I get the plug and fly then the leads from the wings on the F-16 are accessable so I can plug them into separate ports so I can set up flaperons ?
