free wing F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter Jet

Product Information

The Freewing 70 mm EDF Super Scale Jet, the F-35 Lightning II, is a 1/13 scale model that uses EPO material. It is 1210mm in length with a wingspan of 820mm and has an empty weight of 1700G(without battery). The aircraft features scale details with lots of engraved lines on the surface, new paint and decal processes, and lots of scale plastic accessories. All control surfaces are easily removable, and the aircraft is adequately reinforced with carbon tubes to effectively improve structural strength and ensure flight quality. The PNP Version features a 70mm 12-blade EDF impeller, 2957-2210KV out runner motor, and 80A ESC. The PNP version uses one 6S 4000mAh 35C battery, achieving a top speed of 165KPH / 103MPH. The shortest takeoff distance is about 22M. The air posture is stable, easy to control, and the action is gentle. The excellent flight stability of the F-35 is very consistent with modern Freewing jets. When landing, the F-35’s directional stability is good.

Product Usage Instructions

1. This is not a toy! Operators should have a certain experience, and beginners should operate under the guidance of professional players.
2. Before installation, please read through the instructions carefully and operate strictly under instructions.
3. Due to wrong operation, Freewing and its vendors will not be held responsible for any losses.
4. Model planes’ players must be at least 14 years old.
5. This plane uses the EPO material with surface spray paint. Do not use chemicals to clean, otherwise, it may cause damage.
6. You should be careful to avoid flying in areas such as public places, high-voltage-intensive areas, near the highway, near the airport, or any other place where laws and regulation clearly prohibit.
7. You cannot fly in bad weather conditions such as thunderstorms, snows, etc.
8. Model plane’s battery should not be put everywhere. Storage must ensure that there are no inflammable and explosive materials within a round of 2M range.
9. Damaged or scrap battery should be properly recycled. It cannot be discarded to avoid spontaneous combustion and fire.
10. In the flying field, the waste after flying should be properly handled. It cannot be abandoned or burned.
11. In any case, you must ensure that the throttle is in the low position and transmitter switch on, then it can connect the lipo-battery in the aircraft.
12. Do not try to take planes by hand when flying or slow landing process. You must wait for landing to stop, then carry it.

PNP Assembly Instructions

1. Install Vertical Stabilizer

2. Install Main wing

3. Install Horizontal Stabilizer
   As the photo show:

   • Insert the transfer plastic parts of left/right horizontal stabilizer to the tail of fuselage.
   • Center the elevator and use 4pcs screws to fix
   • A- Horizontal Stabilizer
   • B- Transfer plastic parts
   • C-Screw
     

4. Install Scale Accessories

5. Battery Size

6. Install Nose Cone

7. Pushrod instructions

   • Nose gear steering pushrod Length
   • Nose gear steering pushrod mounting hole
   • Rudder pushrod Length
   • Rudder pushrod mounting hole
   • Elevator pushrod Length
   • Elevator pushrod mounting hole
   • Aileron pushrod Length
   • Aileron pushrod mounting hole

8. Center of Gravity
   Correct Center of Gravity (”CG”) is critical for enabling safe aircraft stability and responsive control. Please refer to the following CG diagram to adjust your aircraft’s Center of Gravity.

   • Depending on the capacity and weight of your chosen flight batteries, move the battery forward or backward to adjust the Center of Gravity.
   • If you cannot obtain the recommended CG by moving the battery to a suitable location, you can also install a counterweight to achieve correct CG. However, with the recommended battery size, a counterweight is not required. We recommend flying without unnecessary counterweight.

9. Control Direction Test
   After installed the plane, before flying, we need a fully charged battery and connect to the ESC, then use radio to test and check that every control surface work properly.

   • Aileron
   • Stick Left
   • Stick Right
   • Rudder
   • Stick Left
   • Stick Right
   • Elevator
   • Stick Up
   • Stick down

10. Dual Rates and Flight Attention
    According to our testing experience, use the following parameters to set Aileron/Elevator Rate. Program your preferred Exponential % in your radio transmitter. We recommend using High Rate for the first flight, and switching to Low Rate if you desire a lower sensitivity. On successive flights, adjust the Rates and Expo to suit your preference.

| Aileron
(Measured closest to fuselage)| Elevator
(Measured closest to fuselage)| Rudder (Measured from the bottom)
---|---|---|---
Low Rate| H1/H2 14mm/ 14mm
D/R Rate：60%| H1/ H2 21mm/ 21mm
D/R Rate80%| H1/ H2 13mm/ 13mm D/R Rate： 80%

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our Freewing 70 mm EDF Super Scale Jet, the F-35 Lightning II! It is 1210mm in length with a wingspan of 820mm. This 1/13 scale F35 uses EPO material. This F-35 innovates on previous versions by adding scale details with lots of engraved lines on the surface new paint and decal processes, and lots of scale plastic accessories. All control surfaces are easily removable, and the aircraft is adequately reinforced with carbon tubes to effectively improve structural strength and ensure flight quality. The Freewing F-35 PNP Version features a 70mm 12-blade EDF impeller, 2957-2210KV out runner motor, and 80A ESC. The PNP version uses one 6S 4000mAh 35C battery, achieving a top speed of 165KPH / 103MPH. The shortest takeoff distance is about 22M. The air posture is stable, easy to control, and the action is gentle. The excellent flight stability of the F-35 is very consistent with modern Freewing jets. When landing, the F-35’s directional stability is good. In addition, due to the aerodynamic design, according to our test results, at low speed, the model aircraft is prohibited from turning at a large elevation angle, which may cause a stall spin.
