I love it!!!! It is stock for the ESC and motor and fan.... Custom paint and no little blue box; all old school Y's with heat shrink on them!!! LOL Admiral 5000, 50C... Stock CG, maybe a few mm to the rear, (been a few years since I balanced it!!!) Also have an A-3L gyro and CC 20 amp BEC for power. Running a 12 channel Spektrum receiver... DSMX, but no telemetry. DX-9 TX for all the birds. I have the rates for full deflection, but being akin to a delta, I have a boatload of expo and I fly all my stuff that way. It works for me. If you are not an expo fan, turn the ailerons down about half!!! LOL Otherwise, it is like the A-4!!!! I would buy another one today... Hell I might just do that so I can do another paint job!!! Hope that helps empty you wallet!!!

Also!!! Go with Callie for the graphics. I went factory and they went on nicely, but after a little heat and time in the shop, they peeled off and took the paint, so I touched it up and asked Callie to make the new ones about .5mm larger than stock to cover the flaws and it worked out fine. Still stuck like Chuck with no clear coat!!! The expo is 45% aileron, 60% elevator, and 20% rudder. Gyro is set about 1030-1100 on the pots. Lastly... HOW ARE YOU DOING BRO???? Hope all is great!!!

I just bought one to give it a try and ended up keeping it, it flies that well, no gyro in mine, nice high alpha passes are cool to watch, flies very stable fast or slow, I like the stance of the Mig 21, so I say get you one, cut the throws down though or you will have a flying drill bit.............!

Thanks DC Now I pretty much have to get one. I use an A3L in all of these jets, and go heavy on the expo as Hardway suggested. Seems to work for me. My first A-4 was initially set up with the factory throws, and I was able to experience the "drill bit" roll rate firsthand! Whew!

Do you use a gyro in the F-104? I was contemplating getting the HK one when they had it, but it seemed too unstable.

Have not been able to fly at all, despite several nice days off. Dog got nipped by a coyote and lost two toes, so several vet trips there, GF’s mom in failing health and trying to help where I can there. 2 cars had to go in the shop, iPad got shattered screen and I had to complete my Instructor Renewal Course...
I did get to tinker a bit during breaks. She weighs 2 lbs 3 oz, but I don’t know about CG yet. Hopefully today. Planning to fly tomorrow AM and will maybe get the maiden with the Carmen Electra.
