THRILLING FMS RAFALE MAIDEN FLIGHT! ✈️ 6S 80mm EDF RC Jet

Check this out, I just maidened my FMS Rafale and these are the videos of the first three flights! This is my second jet from FMS and although it flies really well, thanks mostly to the Rafale design being a great airframe (kudos to Dassault Aviation), I've pretty quickly come to loathe the brand for messing it up from the engineering standpoint in almost every way imaginable. From servos frying on the workbench before even maidening, to retracts getting stuck, servos and wires installed in a way that makes them hard to replace, cramped up battery spaces by design, mixing boards that are a tasteless joke, nozzles that aren't even correctly sized for the EDF they installed, and a long list of etceteras... I love flying this jet and it has really good features but hell, I'd struggle recommending it to anyone for all the trouble it's given me. FMS better up their game. Freewing also deals with a lot of these issues, but FMS just amped them to a whole new level. And no, I'm not sponsored by anyone, lol, in case you were wondering. Now, rants aside, hell this is a fun way to fly! ...and it'll get better once I 3D print some properly sized nozzles to replace the stock ones. Flies similar to other deltas out there but with a few points that make it unique: I.e. it features full span split elevons, giving it more authority for extreme acro moves (if you manage to shift CG back aft enough) and the possibility to play with mixes. It does knife edge better than most jets of this type (worse than the Gripen, Hornet, A-10 and maybe the F-16 but better than virtually everything else I've flown). It does good upright high alpha as well as INVERTED high alpha (something the FW Euro struggles with), but is less stable in the air overall compared with the Euro. And it definitely lacks power with the current nozzles but hope to fix that soon enough. Also, I'm not particularly fond of the current livery, but I gotta admit it pops out in the sky and looks great from afar. Will likely end up repainting it grey sooner or later though, but hey, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, or so they say! This jet had been in my crosshairs for a while now, but the pricetag hold me from pulling the trigger for a while. But about a year ago I got a really good deal on AliExpress and took the chance to snatch one (same as the F-16, A-10 and currently I have a J-10 and a new Gripen heading my way). Still, I had been so busy preparing the CARF Eurosport that I procrastinated this one until recently... then I had two servos fry on the workbench, further delaying the maiden flight, but that's 'mostly' sorted out now ;) I'm also flying this one on my new Jeti transmitter with a REX12A gyro-integrated receiver and I also have added a MUI200 current sensor, which helps making the most out of each and every flight! Flight features aside, this jet is truly outstanding as a scale model, with a plethora of scale details and with the possibility of installing a lot of ordnance, including 3 external fuel tanks and 6 missiles! That's also one of the reasons I wanted to get the jet... it looks gorgeous in the air showing off with all the underslung ordnance installed! These were the 1st, 2nd and 3rd flights on 'Yvette', as I ended up naming her. ;) Pilot: RC4ever Ground video: Luis Ibáñez Airfield: Aeròdrom d'Avinyonet RAFALE SPECS: Wingspan: 974mm Length: 1409mm Flying Weight: 3300g aprox Ducted Fan: 80mm, 12 blade Motor: Brushless inrunner 3280 - KV2100 ESC: Predator 100A UBEC: Freewing 8A Servos: Replaced the wheel steering servo and one of the main gear door ones, then added an extra servo to control the nose gear door, left everything else stock 1x 8g Turnigy 1440 8x 12g Stock digital metal gear Receiver: Jeti REX12A Assist Current sensor: Jeti MUI200 Main battery: SMC HCL-HVP 6S 4400mAh Receiver battery: CNHL 2S 650mAh SETUP: Full throws everywhere, huge expo (around 70-85%), three different flight modes with slightly different canard offset incidence. Canard pitches mostly down, barely any up deflection as I ran into mechanical adjustment issues due to FMS's stupid design mindset. Mixing board and pilot figure removed. Wires tidied up and battery slammed all the way back. I power the electronics from a separate 2S Li-Po through a 8A UBEC. I use the Jeti Assist gyro on all control surfaces in rate mode. CG is currently roughly about 130-140mm... and that's about it! More info soon... (maybe). ^^ CHAPTERS: 00:00 - 2nd Flight (2nd Part) 04:30 - 3rd Flight 08:30 - 1st Flight (Actual Maiden) 13:10 - 2nd Flight (1st Part, with LG problem) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can also follow me on: YouTube:    / airguardian   Facebook:   / rc4ever   Instagram:   / airguardian   Twitter:   / rc4media   YouTube:   / airguardian
