Lomcevak, Welcome ! I want to see a video of your F4 performing a Lomcevak. Captain Mike did one with the A-10.
This is the first pre-order I've missed out for a while and the very one I was dreaming about for a long time. Sigh. Still haven't got my Liberator in the air and have low hours on the A-4 so I'll wait till summer. Maybe by then they'll be a J version( Go Navy) available.Currently 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
Out of Service: 80mm Mig-21,64mm F-35, 64mm F/A-18
I Want: 80mm A-4, twin 80mm F4J Phantom

RCJD,
Good one. Maybe I'll catch the next batch. I will have one eventually.
Dr Death There's a good Blue Angels story that occurred in 1971 at an Iowa Air show. Number 4 forgot to lower his gear and belly landed down the runway with a hail of sparks. The Naval aviator was promptly sent to Vietnam.Currently 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

Glad to see a new US Military jet released, I'm not a fan of the Phantom but I know so many pilots happy to see this jet in production, I've had the privilege to fly all of the 90mm jets, and my biggest issue has been flight time, to shell out $500+ on a jet that has to land under 3 minutes is a huge issue for me. I hope this power set up 9 bladed or 8s set up provide 4 minute flight times (and yes I manage my throttle well when flying) All of the 80mm jets have been fantastic when it comes to flight times (4-5 min). If anyone can elaborate on this from Motion will be nice. I'm a good customer and this isn't a complaint, or shade, I love EDF's and so happy to see how far they've come from just a few years ago with fans sounding like vacuum cleaners.

I'm with you man!
The only gripe I've got is flight times.
Flying with 5000's we set the timer for 3:00.
I did fly it this weekend with 5800's and was able to reliably set an additional 15 seconds.
Like you, I'm big on throttle management. There are times on the back-side of big air manuevers when I'm completely out of the power. Flying like that, I was able to safely get 3:30 and a shade over 4:00 start to stop.
With an appropriate 8s setup and efficient mixed-aggressive flying, I'm betting 4:30 or more is well within reach.

Looks like they got a a free pass with the Israeli AF. Tail letters: " OY " LOL I'll have to share that with my boss who was a Major in the Israeli AF. He'll get a kick out it. I ironically met a guy at a hotel bar in Seattle a few weeks ago who was stationed at Ubon , He had noticed I was wearing a F-4J ball cap and he struck up a conversation. . This is where Robin Olds was stationed. He was a crew chief. Showed me hundreds of pictures saved on his i-phone. An encyclopedia of info on the Ubon ops. Pretty cool. And this was before the FW plane was announced.Currently 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

How do you think this plane would fly on the 1680kv 12-blade fan? This is the one on the HiPo F-15.
