There are four screws holding the wings on, use the front forward screws, it has worked for me many flights so it has to be close, I just place my fingertips on those screws and lift up, slight nose drop is good, if the tail drops it's a crash...:Angry::)

My setup is FMS Edf and predator esc 130 amp. I will use Turnigy Heavy duty 60c 5000 mah on this bird. Any major info and pictures about correct cg location and battery placement with this setup? It will be a good point of start...Check me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33

Here is the recovery portion of the event...Some days at the air field can be more challenging than others. On this day gravity claimed two aircraft. One RC Pilot exhibited exemplary courage and devoti...There are hundreds of RC aviation videos viewable here; WBRC

I have no idea if it was, or is a great seller but I keep telling myself I need another one for an alternate scheme...

Made my test flights yesterday, the 104 flies beautifully, balanced exactly on the front screw...landing approaches with flaps to T.O. have all been great, precise, nice attitude...I feel much better than with the F-16 90mm...and this is a 104!! I reduced the aileron throws to low rate suggested and I think they're well enough for all flight phases and like that roll rate is still impressive. 30% expo on my fingers. 3 mins + landing with Admiral 5000mAh, 30% of battery remaining after the flight. It flies no probs with half to 65% throttle, of course adding more on slightly tigher turns or aerobatics. No problems with preset gyro, I flew with little wind. I can adfirm that I really love this unique 90mm F-104 and it does not seem to be other of this class and dimensions. Happy flights and happy landings to you all!

Anyway, glad you like it, mine took several flights to get it right, flies awesome now, it always gets the adrenaline going when I bring it out.

Have installed a 90mm Schubeler with HET 2100kv motor on 6s which I believe is about the hottest 6s setup available. The plane has enough power for takeoff but very underpowered flying around. I'm sorry I didn't start out stock but now just about my only option is to accept the extra 10 oz and charge to 8s.
My current thinking is stay with the stock setup which yields 3 min flights or go all the way with an 8s setup.
