Freewing F-4D Phantom II High Performance 90mm EDF Jet - PNP Reviews

4.8 Rating 146 Reviews
Horrible instructions should have been edited by a Motion “Tech Writer”. Motion has no excuse for selling aircraft w poorly written assembly manuals. The Motion F-4D doe not have either standard or optional means to install the four fuselage mounted AIM-7 Sparrow missiles that we’re required for ALL F-4 combat weapons loads.Also.... why not provide the Motion F-D at least the option of a drag chute to decrease the looooong landing roll-outs

Was taxi testing in the yard broke front landing gear pin. Seems to be pretty soft for grass runway ready. Other than that seems to be ok

Easy build, easy on the eye once built, (but all Phantoms were / are, regardless!), nice scale finish. First flight was a careful set of circuits to get used to the aircraft and it’s attitude characteristics. I need some adjustments to the controls for more demanding flying when the weather permits !

This model was easy to build. Instructions are easy to follow. Beautiful model. It's a real head turner. She flies with good authority on the stock 6s setup. Only 4 stars due to the weakness of the flying stab linkage / servo. My ball link (female rod end) bent under some stress. I ended up modding mine. I augered out some foam and fabricated a servo tray from plywood. I installed a standard sized metal geared hi torque servo. I installed DuBro 4-40 ball links with a turnbuckle for the control rod. All is good.

I did the maiden flight at our Warbirds Over Arkansas fun fly this past Sat June 8th, it was a huge hit, everyone just loved seeing it fly, it flew fantastic and looked awesome in the air, it was very easy to put together, took me about 40-45 min’s. Everything fit very well and worked perfect, Freewing has knocked this one out of the park, i love this Jet and will be flying it a lot, it flies super smooth

Lost #1 due to failed elevator push rod ball link. Upgrading to high strength automotive ball link and 4-40 push rod and high strength servo connector for elevator. Added extra glue to elevator servo. Enjoy the flying characteristics!
