Thank you James. Any input on how it flies with the ordnance? The flight video is without.

Originally posted by Alpha.MotionRC View PostWolpertinger, the 6s and ARF+ models have already departed the factory, which is why we have opened the pre-order for those two formats. However, the 8s PNP production was not completed before Chinese New Year (which effectively began today). So, we are not pre-ordering the 8s PNP at this time. We prefer to only pre-order product once it has left the factory. We'll start the 8s PNP's pre-order once that production run departs the factory, but that won't be for several weeks, at least. Chinese New Year spans weeks before and after the actual holiday period, due to many, many factors. Fun Fact: The largest migration in human history takes place each year from this region, when ~80%+ of the provinces leave the cities to visit their hometowns out in the countryside. Tens of millions of people!
I personally prefer the 6s, and, like the recent Avanti and A-10, I assume most people will leave it stock after they fly the stock setup. We tailored the ducting of the F-4 specifically to the 6s PNP's power system. The 8s is ballistic, sure, but it lands faster and I wouldn't recommend landing it on excessively rough terrain except with confidence (and a headwind). This jet deserved being offered in all three flavors.
Crxmanpat, the HET1680 will go great. We ran one of the prototypes on HET1500 and HET1680. Watch those amps, depending on which fan you're running on it.
Thanks for the info. Already ordered the 6 cell version. Should go well with the Avanti, F86, A10, A4 and DH-112 Venom

Like Motion says this is for Advanced/Experts!
Fair warning for new edf pilots while a camouflage F-4 looks awesome on the ground they are hard to see in the sky when banking! I would recommend a temporary bright color on a wingtip or the vertical stabilizer until you get use to the roll characteristics of this model. Cheers!
Well done Motion!

Anyway, well done Motion, it looks a cracking F4.
Just like Porkster said, the ailerons are not out on the wingtips, they're in the middle of the wing and they're kind of stubby. The throw still seems excessive but it is a pretty small aileron.
In this screen shot (from the same video) it looks very normal...
Anyway - the model looks fantastic. Someone should post a pic of it sitting next to a Scooter.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.

And a 1:1 Phantoms flaps drop way, way down; like 70+ degrees from retracted. They’re really huge airbrakes that also add a little lift.
