Freewing F4D Phantom II 90mm EDF Fighter Jet PNP (MotionRC.eu): ESSENTIAL RC FLIGHT TEST
AVAILABLE HERE: http://bit.ly/FreewingF4eu

Aviation enthusiasts have long loved the F4 Phantom, and Freewing and Motion RC are extremely proud to introduce the 90mm Super Scale Series rendition of this ultimate warfighter! For more than 50 years, the F4 Phantom delivered the versatile capabilities required of an allweather frontline supersonic interceptor, fighterbomber, SEAD, and reconnaissance platform. Less than a year after its retirement from US military service, you can still keep the F4 Phantom flying in your RC fleet!
RC pilots have consistently requested a large F4 EDF jet that performs excellently out of the box without endless modifications. We developed this F4 to deliver reliability, durability, and performance from your very first flight. Grass operation is a hallmark of the Freewing 90mm F4. With its wide stance, tall main tires, Oleo suspension nose strut and concealed trailing link suspension main struts, this aircraft performs well on rougher grass fields.
Super scale details include accurate dual landing lights flushmounted into the scale operating nose wheel doors, DayBright position lights, rivet detail, static arrestor hook, and period accurate ordnance comprising four AIM9D Sidewinders and two 370 gallon fuel tanks on removable hardpoints. Plastic details include pitot tubes, ejection seat pull rings, and molded exhaust nozzles. The large fiberglass nose cone is magnetic and removable, and the chin pod beneath it is foam, allowing easy removable and customization for other versions (C or late D). An optional, highly detailed 3DPUP set (“3D Printed Upgrade Part”) is available that represents the correct Mk H7 ejection seats and cockpit instrument panels in high detail.

Such a large RC model aircraft remains easy to transport with magnetic removable fiberglass nose cone and removable wings with a convenient flexible wire harness that attaches at each wing root. Large flaps, brass ball links, reliable control hardware, and digital servos throughout the aircraft provide positive control, and a specially designed elevator mechanism incorporates two ball bearings for smooth rotation at all times.
The Freewing 90mm F4 Phantom II is available in two power system versions. The Standard version requires a 6S 50006000 mAh LiPo battery, and is our top recommendation to pilots seeking the best balance between speed, thrust, and cost. The High Performance version requires an 8S 5000 mAh LiPo battery, and delivers increased vertical climbing performance and acceleration. The High Performance version is recommended for Advanced pilots only due to the aircraft’s higher speed envelope and heavier flying characteristics.

It takes about 15 minutes to assemble the F4 and another 1530 minutes to apply the decals. Pay special attention to the CG. A 6S5000 pack will balance the model perfectly if installed as far forwards as the canopy allows. The neutral position for the all moving tailplane/elevator is also important. The leading edge should be 8mm lower than the horizontal line on the fuselage. Throws should be setup as the manual states for smooth flying. We timed our flights for 4 minutes which left enough juice for a goaround if required.
