Originally posted by C17loadmasterI appear to have an issue. I have had my F-14 sitting for months and tonight I decided to make sure it was ready to fly tomorrow. When I plugged the lipo into the plane the afterburners flickered for about 10 seconds and now they don’t work at all. The only difference from last time I powered it on is the transmitter. The UBEC is set to 7.4 volts and the centerburner controller appears to be working yet they do not light up at any throttle setting. Am I missing something? I know how to set them up... I don’t know What the issue is

This system was designed specifically keeping the F-14 in mind. Hard to beat that twin glow! Also, we're just about ready on the new freewing 9blade tailcone (A-10 and G2 Mirage 2000 fan). Should be available as an option next week. I'll be printing up the tailcones this week.

How many of ya'll with these are putting down foil or reflective chrome paint in the exhaust walls to accentuate the brightness? I did it on my first 90mm F-22 (the one that decided to say hello to a light pole) but haven't on my second. Just curious as it does seem to help, especially in the daylight hours.My YouTube RC videos:

Yes... its a noticeable difference. I tried getting away with painting the exhaust (from fan to nozzle) with gloss metal spray paint on my F-15 and it wasn't nearly as bright at daytime. They're still awesome all on their own... but the bright glow with the tape is unbeatable. Especially on takeoff at dusk
:Cool:

You'd have laughed at Nefi last year!! I had put aluminum colored duct tape in my Avanti. Went to take off and immediately killed the throttle because of a weird noise. Turns out that the EDF was blowing the tape right off the fuse!! Reached in and removed it and all was well.:P

Just want to say nothing makes me happier when shooting video at a show than seeing one of our models with an afterburner in it. There were a ton at Joe Nall and it made for some nice shots. https://giphy.com/gifs/lNS477kd7taIenymV7
