Freewing F14 64mm Overview and V2 Updates
The freewing f14 64mm is a compact twin EDF version of the famous Tomcat, designed to deliver the look and feel of a swing-wing jet without the size and cost of larger 80mm platforms. The original freewing f14 quickly became popular for its sound, presence, and convenient single 6S power setup. With the release of the V2 airframe, Freewing introduced a new wing profile and subtle aerodynamic tweaks that focus on improving low-speed handling and landing behaviour.
In practical flying, many pilots report that the updated freewing f 14 tomcat V2 feels more forgiving on final, especially during low-power or near zero-throttle approaches. The new wing is designed to increase the critical angle of attack and add a little more lift at the slower end of the envelope. That means fewer surprise wing drops, smoother flares, and a more relaxed landing experience, while still preserving the “need for speed” feel that makes the Freewing F14 64mm so appealing.
Freewing F 14 Tomcat Battery Bay Size and Fit Guide
Choosing the right 6S pack for your freewing f 14 tomcat starts with understanding the battery bay. Real-world measurements taken from the first freewing f 14 64mm show an internal bay length of roughly 288mm, with a width around 65mm and maximum height near 59mm. However, the front 50–55mm of the bay sits under a stepped canopy section, reducing usable height by around 10mm, and the wiring that routes to the rear can slightly reduce usable height toward the back.
In practice, that means a 6S pack may look fine on paper but still feel tight once you add Velcro, padding, or connectors. Many pilots have found that typical 6S 5000–5200mAh packs with a moderate case height fit well when mounted carefully and without excessive foam or thick hook-and-loop underneath. Taller or heavily padded packs can press against the canopy, so it is important to test fit your pack before flying and ensure the hatch closes securely without forcing it.
Because the V2 airframe maintains a similar internal layout, these guidelines remain useful when selecting packs for the newer freewing f14 64mm V2. If you are upgrading from V1 to V2 wings, you can generally continue using the same size range of batteries that have proven to fit and balance your original Freewing F14.
Best 6S LiPo Options for Freewing F14 and Freewing F 14
For the freewing f14 and freewing f 14 tomcat 64mm, the goal is to combine a clean fit in the bay with enough capacity and discharge headroom to keep voltage sag under control during high throttle passes. The four 6S EC5 packs below are well suited to this role and cover slightly different preferences in weight, C rating, and flight time.
- CNHL Racing Series 5200mAh 22.2V 6S 90C LiPo Battery with EC5 Plug – A great all-round choice if you want a little more capacity than a standard 5000mAh pack. The 5200mAh size offers extra runtime for your freewing f14 64mm without a dramatic weight penalty, and the 90C discharge rating helps maintain punch for fast passes and big climbs.
- CNHL G+Plus 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 100C LiPo Battery with EC5 Plug – Ideal for pilots who push their freewing f 14 hard. The high 100C rating provides strong burst current and reduced sag, which is especially useful during repeated high-speed runs and vertical manoeuvres. This pack aims to keep the jet feeling lively throughout the flight.
- CNHL Black Series 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 65C LiPo Battery with EC5 Plug – A balanced option for everyday flying. The 65C discharge rating is well matched to typical Freewing F14 64mm use, offering a good mix of performance and pack longevity. If you are looking for a reliable “go-to” battery for relaxed flights and weekend sessions, this is a solid choice.
- CNHL G+Plus Series 5000mAh 22.2V 6S 70C LiPo Battery with EC5 Plug – Sits between the Black Series and the 100C G+Plus in terms of discharge capability. For many freewing f 14 tomcat V1 and V2 pilots, this 5000mAh 70C pack is a sweet spot where weight, performance, and cost all line up nicely.
All four of these 6S packs use EC5 connectors, so they are ready to drop into the Freewing F14 64mm power system without needing adapters. Once you confirm fit in your particular airframe, you can choose the pack that best matches your flying style—whether that is fast, low passes with brief throttle bursts or longer, more relaxed sorties.
Freewing F14 64mm V1 Owners: Upgrading with the New V2 Wing
One of the most interesting details from the V2 release is that the new wing set for the freewing f 14 tomcat 64mm can be retrofitted onto the original V1 airframe. This gives existing owners a clear upgrade path: keep the fuselage, power system, and 6S batteries you already trust, but benefit from the revised wing profile and improved low-speed behaviour that V2 brings.
For V1 pilots who were careful about power-on approaches to avoid sudden tip stalls, the V2 wing design is intended to make the jet more tolerant near the stall, especially in the landing phase. Combined with a strong 6S pack that holds voltage under load, the upgrade can make the freewing f14 64mm easier to grease in consistently, while still allowing you to enjoy swept-wing high-speed runs and playful high-alpha passes when conditions allow.
