F86 Sabre 35mm EDF Micro Jet EPO (RTF - MODE 1)

F86 Sabre 35mm EDF Micro Jet EPO (RTF - MODE 1)
F86 Sabre 35mm EDF Micro Jet EPO (RTF - MODE 1)


This tiny Sabre is amazing, EPO foam combined with it's featherweight stats means it will be very forgiving of the odd less than 100% landing. The 35mm Fan Unit & ESC are pre-installed as are the aileron and elevator servo's, the model comes in 1 piece so all you have to do when it arrives is connect the control rods. The supplied 4 Channel 2.4ghz Transmitter is pre-bound to the pre-fitted micro RX to speed up set up time, the transmitter features servo reverse and trims for each channel.

The box the model arrives in is really handy for not only transporting the model to prevent hanger rash but the spare pockets in the packing foam are ideal for carrying spare Lipoly's and you will have so much fun with this, I would carry a few! The supplied charger will operate from a 12v supply and charges through the JST-XH balance lead. All you need now is a flying buddy armed with the Micro Mig 15 for a tennis court dogfight!

Hola, Yo compre el Sabre F86 con Transmisor y solo pude hacer un solo vuelo, el transmisor perdió* el contacto con el receptor y no se que hacer ¿*que receptor es compatible con ese transmisor? por si la falla estuviera haí*. el led verde ya no enciende.

Hi! What recievers are compatible with this TX? How do I bind them? Thanks!
 customer5 302 points
As far as I know, no guaranteed radio system works with the stock one. Recommend better system to save your airplanes in the long run. hope this helps!

kyle, Mode 2 is the throttle on left stick, mode 1 is throttle on the right stick.

hi everyone, i was just wondering what is the difference between the airplane saying its mode 1, and mode 2. if someone could please answer this question that would be great. thank you
 Kieran 2 points
Mode 2: Throttle and rudder on the left Ailerons and elevator on the right Mode 1: I think it's throttle and ailerons on the right and elevator and rudder on the left. :)

I have this plane but want to upgrade it to 3S, must I remove the "main wing" to get to the ESC or must I cut open the fuselage??
 customer5 302 points
You can remove the main wing to access the ESC. No need to cut it!

If I'm right I see a {2s/3s balance charger}, so what is the max. Mah that the charger can charge on a 3s ?
 Kellyann 16228 points
Louis well it is like this they seem to keep on going. I charged a 2200mAh on mine but it took a long time (about 5 hours) and got rather hot. Also remember you must not leave them unattended.

Hi,I wonder if you can connect the "2.4ghz 4 Channel Proportional TX" to a PC via USB to practice with a simulator.thanks
 Arman 374 points
Yes you can but you need a cable that matches the hole *)

This is my third RC plane, and even after 4hours of attempts and re-adjustments to the control surfaces I cannot seem to get it aloft. The plane always seems to run out of power. When tossed at full throttle it keeps slowing down and wont gain altitude. I've pulled the fan and motor to check for anything wrong, and found no issues with it. Has anyone else had this issue? Its sitting here with 3 batteries begging to get airborne :(
 glenn_mech 315 points
mike i have the same plane also..try to remove the tanks it will add a load to the wings and because it has a small wing area it cannot carry the drag thats is being created by the tanks unless you upgrade the unit.

Whats the Mode 1 & 2 versions about?
 Mike 6 points
Its a difference in the function of the control sticks. (google "RC modes") I pulled my controller apart and swapped the plugs for the throttle and elevator sticks as well as the centering spring from the left to right stick. If your good with taking things apart it would take less than 15mins.

Is there a mode 2 available?
 Kellyann 16228 points
Jethoste YES YES PRODUCT ID: F86-35-RTFM2 F86 Sabre 35mm EDF Micro Jet EPO (RTF-MODE 2). Also the Mode 1 can be converted to Mode 2 easily.

Hi HK, great little jet. Are the servo and ESC plugs mini JST? If so, the RX can easily replaced be a small $pektrum RX, and the toy RX/TX can be repaced. Will you offer a version without such a toy RX/TX? Will bring the shipping weight < 1 kg
 karlpenney 9 points
See www.link for the plug n fly version. I believe the servo connectors on these are Futaba micro connectors.
 karlpenney 9 points
Hmm, I guess the link didn't come thru. The product id is 17302 for the plug n fly version without Tx/Rx.
 __Mikk 20 points
Thanks, I found it, and the plug & flyx version is < 1kg, great. The connectors are Mini JST, so it will fit e.g. to AR6300 etc.

i'd buy one if there was mode 4
Shift86  166 points - 6/15/2011
 
i wonder why they are not the same with mig, mig is slightly larger and has dual servo ailerons on the ends of the wings, wich is a better scheme, i wonder why they made it differently
 nitrox88 75 points
If you want a larger one, there is one with 1400mm and probably also some between. I think it was the aim of this plane to be as tini as possible. Why dual servo ailerons on the ends of the wings? 1. one servo is strong enough 2. rollrate will be far enough (speedmodels haven't ailerons on the ends either) 3. one servo is half as light as two 4. there won't be any need for flaps
Baxter  62 points - 6/15/2011
 
Will it come in Mode 2 also? Please please!?

awesome little plane, but I must be doing something wrong...I'm using the Rhino 2S 360mah packs fully charged and the cog is spot on, but tossing it hard at 80pcnt-100pcnt throttle I can't seem to get it "on plane" and it aventually drops. I'm concerned about the elevator servo body, that hangs down quite a ways into the thrust tube and may be causing turbulence. At full throttle it feels like a 900 watt blow dryer, so it seems like it should fly easier...I must be overlooking something; I've tweaked all control surfaces both ways and can't seem to get the perfect "sweet spot"
Anyway, 10 stars for looks, price, and overall value...I'm looking forward to figuring it out.

Excellent looking plane. Really good quality. Only issue I had was that I could not get it off the ground. I had to remove the bombs at the bottom of the wings, then I was able to. But, you need to take off at 100pcnt throttle, and then give it a hard hand launch into the wind. Once you have speed and any wind, it is the only thing that will keep it in the air. It is also a very fast plane. Not for beginners. Had a few crashes in a park and plane held up well.
