Freewing B-2 Spirit Twin: Is This the Ultimate RC Stealth Bomber? (70mm Jets Go BRRR)

The Freewing B-2 Spirit Bomber (often called the Freewing B-2 twin 70mm) is a badass, large-scale RC replica of the real USAF B-2 Stealth Bomber — the iconic flying-wing stealth beast that looks like a UFO crossed with death from above. This isn't some tiny foamie; it's a serious 1/24-scale electric ducted fan (EDF) jet built by Freewing (distributed mainly through Motion RC), and it's widely regarded as one of the most impressive and "unicorn-level" RC bombers ever produced for the hobby market. Key Specs & Features Wingspan: 2200mm (86.6 inches / ~7.2 feet) — massive presence on the ground and in the air. Length: ~887mm (35 inches). Power System: Twin 70mm 12-blade EDF units (pre-installed) powered by dual 2952-2100Kv inrunner brushless motors on 6S LiPo (usually 5000–6000mAh packs recommended for good flight times). Thrust & Performance: Twin EDFs deliver serious thrust — fast, scale-like passes, efficient cruising at lower throttle, and surprisingly long flights (pilots report 3.5–7+ minutes depending on style, with plenty of battery left). Control Surfaces: No traditional vertical stabilizers (true to the real B-2). It uses functional "clam shell" drag rudders (split surfaces that open like jaws for yaw control), plus elevons for pitch/roll. This gives it authentic flying-wing handling. Gyro Stabilization: Pre-installed Freewing 6-axis gyro system (often the E52 or Guard EG01) — makes it way more stable and forgiving, especially for a big flying wing with no tail feathers. Landing Gear: Full suspension aluminum struts with gear doors — handles grass ops surprisingly well for its size (many pilots maiden on turf). Scale Details: LED lighting, plastic-capped intakes/nose/wingtips/beaver tail, clear canopy area for better visibility/stability, detailed panel lines, and bomb bay vibes. Assembly/Transport: Super simple — disassembles with just four screws for easy hauling in a car. Weight & Setup: Around 3200g dry (without battery), needs 5+ channel radio, and it's PNP (Plug-N-Play — servos, motors, ESCs, EDFs, and gyro all pre-installed; you add your receiver, battery, and charger). Skill Level: Intermediate to advanced — it's big, fast, and a flying wing, so good low-rate flying and gyro help, but once dialed in, it's surprisingly easy and stable. How It Flies (From Pilot Reviews & Maids) Pilots rave about it: Flies like a big, smooth EDF-powered flying wing — very stable at low power, glides well, and has great presence. Handles high-speed strafes like a boss, but also slow, scale flight for that bomber feel. The gyro makes it forgiving; without it, flying wings can be twitchy, but this one is "stupidly stable" per many reviews. Wow factor is insane — it turns heads at the field, especially with the sunset shots or low passes. It's the kind of model that makes people go "holy s--t, is that real?" when it taxis out. Many call it the "world's greatest RC bomber" because nothing else in this size class combines the scale fidelity, twin-jet performance, gyro help, and grass capability so well. If you're the rusty building/flying this beast (from your thumbnails), it's a hell of a flex — that thing looks killer in those shots. Got any flight footage or setup questions?
