I haven't searched and probably won't bother.
There are some advantages to the trailing link, especially in being able to get more travel range for absorbing the impact of a hard landing. That is probably why they went with trailing link.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

Got some flight time in my 3 jets (which is all I have), the camo F4, the F4 Blue angel and my redesigned Stinger 90 in between rain showers. The F4 camo flies the best of the 2 F4's, both stock EDF, but the blue angel is slightly heavier because of the paint and urethane and it is noticeable (not bad though) in climbing. Have any of you guys flown the F4 (stock EDF) with the Admiral 6000mah battery instead of the 5000? I'm thinking of trying it on the camo version as an extra minute would sure be nice. Probably won't on the blue angel though.
We've had some torrential downpours over the last couple of days and supposed to continue for the next couple of weeks:Angry:, as it seems there is a big system in the gulf bringing us record heat and massive downpours, so may not get much flying in during that time.:Crying:
In the meantime, I put together a video which combined pictures and flying video's of the 3 jets from yesterday: https://youtu.be/S40Nd-ai754

I've used my HS 8000 only once . Went to try it again after a long layoff and one cell won't charge over 4.05. Not sure if I can recover it.
So Sunday, flew with my good buddy Dewey who owns a 6S AF version. My Navy Sundowners runs on 8S. Had a great time.1 PhotoCurrently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

Originally posted by Elbee View PostHey Y'all, Finished the 'weathering' and tried to keep it subtle. I was shooting for an in-service idea but I've never seen an in-service carrier-based aircraft in person so I used pictures as my references. I like it. I used mostly a soft graphite 6 B pencil with mineral spirits applied with a stiff short bristled brush over the polycrylic. I will now shoot the matte acrylic clear. Best, LB
Very nice Elbee, is the Air buffles in front ( sorry I don`t know the english name) from a 3D printer.??? it`s very nice and more realistic.
cheers

Freewing_F-4_VIR_Mods_STL_Files.zip
Hey Y'all, There is the most interest in these items, so here are the 3DP STL files for the Freewing F-4 VIR Mods. Included are the LH&RH Fixed Plates, Upper vents and Lower Vents LH&RH, and the Overlay Simulation of the perforations (mesh) LH&RH. Any questions PM me. I will also post these in the 3D Printing forum. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~
