Another beautiful jet from Motion RC and a great build from James as always!! Thanks ALPHA for all the fantastic work with Freewing on these jets we’re getting these days, my Mig 29 is scheduled to be here tmrw and can’t wait, great job as always guys!!!! HOMERUN👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼🔥🔥

How does Freewing do it? Every jet that they make not only flies terrific, but looks great too! Just when you thought they couldn't get any better, they go and come out with this thing! Saving for a JAS-39...

Still have to wait long but I’m already sooo excited 😆👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You should separate the power for the engine from the power to the controls. Use two batteries to avoid loss of controls when engine is at full speed at the end of battery charge.

Super clean! Can't wait to mod it and hit 150mph on this one! 😜

Very glad to see you guys starting to test and share some thoughts on cg and rates that are not just 100% bound by loyalty to the manual.

I realize that caution is required, but fact remains that most models unlock a lot more of their potential if tuning cg and rates.

Keep it up!

Man my Mig 29 comes tomorrow and all I can think about is this jet 😳

This is great can you do a video with the futaba10j like you did with the spektrum radio my bird will be here Saturday

Hi Motion RC. The real Gripen has a total of three landing lights, those who are located at the main struts, is there any possibility that the light at the front strut will fit the struts at the rear with its brackets and then for connection use two Y-harness for them to work? Any ideas?

[Isdahl]

When you remove the nose section for transport, what will be the total lenght of the aircraft then?

[olinsrc]

Freewing has to come out with a YF-23 Black Widow 2

[rcturbinator]

Oh man! cant wait to get this! make some god you tube videos and convert it to turbine and make some more videos

Hello!
I have bought a JAS-39 Gripen from you and have a Spektrum AR10360T receiver that I intend to use. In the model, all AUX channels are occupied by canard and thrust vector. Can't I use the gyro AS3X in the plane?

[elderneto]

@MotionRC That's an amazin Jet model!! Lookign forward to get one my self. Could you please tell me that maximum lenght of the fuselage (without cone and back part)?

[lafranja]

Hi, can u explain hiw ti set yo a gyro on gripen? Due plane has 5 outputs (canards aleron elevator, rudder) and gyro only 3 inputs

[victorrcjets]

The biggest question I have currently is will we be able to pre-order the thrust vectoring upgrade? I'm going to watch your mixing video see if I can have mine ready to go before it arrives. But you know you can also share your TX settings online. Waiting for this one for a long time! The typhoon eurofighter V1 had no rudder so the TV was mixed to the elevons. I noticed you have your TV on your elevator and Rudder.

[warficzek]

oh I see that there is a text in my language, Gripen of the Czech Air Force,

[hunterxl]

It homicidal edf i got as my fist jet guarantee with gyro u will get use to it😅

[craigbeaven]

Thinking really hard on this one, Would like to have the TV unit also, Looks like it would work really well off of my home field, and that's a Grate Plus for me .
