This video clearly shows the result of a asymmetrical Afterburner Glow, and the reason why I am seeking a nice twin setup with x2 LED Arrays for matched lighting output in the cans !!! Viewer Discretion is Advised !!!

the right engine was blowing a good amount of smoke and appeared it was the only one glowing. Possible it was the good engine and the one not smoking was actually suffering some mechanical problems.Comment

BBR, Or vice versa. Consider, as well, the engine requirement of each in terms of RPM and thrust. One engine might run at a higher throttle setting in order to produce the same thrust/rpm levels. Not uncommon. Also, the engine lit up is also smoking, so this A/C might even have 2 different engines models. Regardless it is a great vid and I'm just thinking of the cost to keep that A/C flying, outrageous. Think I'll make a donation. Let's see $50.00 could probably pay for enough Windex to clean the canopy for a couple days. LOL LOL LOL Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

With the nose wheel going down and forward when extended how would a support help? The L-39 for example goes down and back when extended so a support works on it as well as the Avanti and F-22, etc.Originally posted by BreakX101 View PostComment

Well Now,.. Got the Operating TailHook Mod pretty much done. The Spring Rebound System I am installing will allow for Ground Contact (Inadvertent) resulting in minimal Damage to the Hook, Linkages and Servo. Some Contact Wear is to be expected on the ContactShoe and therefore, they are replaceable . Hey LB,.. Awesomeness here Man....URock !! ThankAagain

Afterburner is next !! Working on a Twin AB Setup for the Jet that will produce a very Bright and Uniform Set of LED Projections within each Exhaust Can with no Central Blacked-Out Spot !! I believe I am getting closer to realizing this. More to follow on that.Exciting Stuff !!! Cheers

What did you use to accentuate your panel lines on your F4? Fine felt tip marker? And did you use some sort of flexible straight edge for the long straight lines? I like that look.
Thanks, TravisComment

Thank you Travis. All I did was use a fine paint brush to paint very watered down Burnt Umber Acrylic paint into the panel lines then with a dry paper towel, wiped back or down to streak it a little.Originally posted by TMoyer View PostComment

Bobaroo.
What you need to do is just fit a center burner from Chris (RCGeek), but before you refit the fan unit back into the air frame, after fitting the burner, line the rear edf exhaust area behind the fan unit with sticky backed chrome tin foil. That's what reflects the light and give the "all over" afterburner effect.
Hope this helps,
Gordon Fraser.

That's not my own personally invented tip. I got that one from one of Mr RC Jet Dude's many "how too" video's. It works really well.Comment
