where is the center of gravity? i had it where the manual said, but that's way to heavy on the back, resulting in a crash. how many cm from the nose? thanks!
Completed mating of the nose of the red F5 to what was left of the Tiger F5 after they crashed. Flew just like new. As EDF planes, I can vouch for what Tony said about how the plane flies. I think the Nitroplanes F5 would make a great entry plane for you guys wanting to get into EDF without having to buy new set of batteries. I use a 2200 3S 25C battery in mine, about 5 min flying time. I was impressed enough that I purchased a spare F5 kit (no electronics) to back up the on that I have.
Funny post script. Both planes you see in the video have been crashed, the white and red one at the nitroplanes fun fly (wings totaled), and the tiger one during flying a couple of weeks ago (nose of the fuselage totaled). I plan to glue them together and make it fly I think it should fly fine. I'll let everyone when I get it done.
Not recommended and not necessary, I put 2200 3S 25C in mine and get about 5 minutes of flying used about 1800 ma out of my pack. Avoid putting too much weight in this plane.
I'm just saying jets fly touchy, if you never flown anything before and you try flying this it may not end as planned because gravity always wins. I have 8 planes 2 heli's and 2 jetsF 18 and F16 and I fly both of them with VERY soft fingers.
I am looking to buy one of your planes. I like this F5, but I wanted to ask you what is the best EDF plane you have flown? And does everything come with the $139.00?
Nice one Tony and great looking edf but i've never been keen on the tiger paint jobs so it would have to be the red and white one form me ;-) thumbs up as always.
That's the same field that banana-guy uses right? You working together or something? Anyway, I like your reviews more. You dare to show crash footage and honestly say what you don't like about a plane instead of always saying how great and perfect something is. For that alone... THANKS! Keep up the great work! Grtz
like i said before and i will say it again! tony from nitro plaines does the best reviews!!! keeps it short and simple not like pete from banana hobbys which keeps it long and complicated!
Also, I remember from the F-18 vid that the ESC could handle a 4S, but can the motors handle it? I have a few 4S 2200s which would make a rocket out of these little jets.
nitro planes has the best rc planes, jets, etc. nitroplanes has awsome videos too

As EDF planes goes it glides a fairly well, best description is of a slightly heavy scale plane (P-51 or P-40)
