Bobaroo, no intention of doing all of the work that you propose just to appease the "Scale Police" ! My version is actually built from the Savage F-4 kit. In the air it is an F-4, God knows which Mk.

Best Static-Score Scale Jet at the event - that certainly is a testament to the painstaking work that you did to detail your Phantom... but its also a nod to Motion RC for the quality of the model. I can remember not too long ago that entering a foam ARF model in a competition was completely unheard of, something to laugh at. It still seems really strange to me (I guess it shows my age) but I guess its really a clear illustration of how good these models are getting! Congratulations!Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

Any of you guys notice the flaps can go up by any chance? Is there a purpose in that? I couldn't get them to go all the way down so I changed the flap rods for shorter ones. Now I can get them almost straight down..of course I have not had a chance to put it in the air yet and am waiting on Callie to get my decals here...so maybe tinkering too much hahaha..I did have chance to dirty up the underside though.2 Photos

Yeah this full blown EDF thing is new to me except for the ME262 and the Sabre..but they really are more like all my wabirds. I ran out of prop planes I really liked since I like everything 55in wing or better. Then I saw a MIG21 up close instead of a picture and realized it's not the tiny thing I thought these were. I fly at home off my long ass driveway in the country so I rarely see any other planes. Diggin' the crazy detail you can put into these big jets..I am swamped with questions it seems..just nervous about crashing a 500 buck plane because of ignorance.

Hey Y'all, Is there a consensus about where to 'plug-in' the "Nerf-Whistles"? Thinkin' on the exhaust side, though figured I'd better check with you all best sound versus surgery requirements. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

I’ve installed the 3d whistles in my Me-262. 50% throttle.
I worked with one whistle at a time to achieve the sound I wanted before foam tac. One whistle at regular length and one with a 1/4 inch cut off gives a nice stereo chorus effect.
In my A-10 I’ve installed 3 in each fan housing. 25% throttle.
