Rocker Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I have just maiden my Freewing Hawk and it fly a treat looks good in air to.Not flown the FMS Hawk but would think it is very similar to my Freewing Hawk My Freewing Hawk is a 70mm EDF ,the FMS is an 80 EDFso should have plenty of power .My Freewing pulls vertical .Very pleased with it If you like EDF I would say go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON CRAGG Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Many thx. Which Lipo are using and how long do you expect the average flight to last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 A friend has one and mighty impressive it is too. The maiden was trouble free and it looked and sounded brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerman Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I am using 6c 4300mah .Being an EDF you will only have about 3 minute maybe 4 minute if you are not heavy handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilshere Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've been flying one since the first batch-the second one only arrives the end of this month. I use a 5000 6s 50c Overlander pack in mine, I have also used the 35c 4250 6s pack from the same company. With the 5000 all the way back its still a tiny bit nose heavy, but it still climbs in knife edge! Flown mainly from grass the gear copes with the weight just fine. Take off flap is always used and take off roll on grass is 30m. Full flap passes are lock solid. Full gear doors and lights add to the look. Nose probe unscrews and I 'plug' it into the cockpit area to store. Its a really well sorted package, I fly 5 minutes mixed aeros, near 6 minutes with out any long verticals.

SIMON CRAGG Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Many thanks for the info. They do seem very popular. RC Forum has 54 pages of comment. One interesting point is that the model has a few degrees of "reflex" built in. Has anybody noticed this? Does it appear to make any difference? Any hints / tips gratefully received.
