  • Here's a few details for the extreme scale nuts among us. F-4 is at the Yankee Air Museum in Ypsilanti, MI.

    • Well, I'm not a happy camper.
      My F4 arrived with no issues!
      But my elevator servo is the only one not working, it just sits there BUZZING and SHAKING. ☹

      WILL CALL MOTIONRC IN THE MORNIG.

        Same thing happened to mine, disconnected linkage from servo and she spun like a top...Do be careful when removing servo, the glue they used has a good bite into the foam. I had a 28 gram E-flite servo that I used to replace it. they are sending me a replacement but that'll take nearly a week. I wanted the whole tail cone with the servo but they could only replace the servo. The esc was also disconnected and floating around in the fuselage .

              I saw an ad for an F-4 6s fan and motor on RCGRoups and it appears to be the same Freewing 90mm metal housing with a 9 blade rotor. Can one of you guys verify that? The reason I ask is we may have a solution ready here soon for a centerburner that will work in the F-4 if that's the case. Thanks!


              Chris
              Can anyone confirm this for Chris? I'm pretty certain he's correct, but anything to expedite the 90mm centerburner would be great!

                  • Well Dynam keeps coming out with new planes, latest, Gloster Meteor. .........Looks cheap considering its 329$

                    Comment


                    • Build complete! Due to weather looks like a maiden Thursday morning. I did a little appearance modification from stock, but not to the level of many here.

                      Every time I build a new plane, I'm "allowed" to keep it in the house for 2 days..... LOL It allows me to walk by and enjoy it as I go about other things. Every time I walk through the room I keep saying to myself "She's BIG!"

                      Its painted to resemble the 82nd areal target group out of Tyndall AFB in Florida. A pic of the model, then a pic of the real beast that influenced the model.

                              Zero explanation at all, it just showed up. My guess is wrong address though, UPS was planning on sending out the same driver to search for it.

                                    Nice! I got mine too!.

                                    The FMS fan unit went in with minimal fuss. Just had to sand a 10mm ring in the back to get her slide on in. I ended up using the factory mounting holes,but only four of them. I had to drill new holes in the FMS mounting pads. I also lined the area over those wing cables as well as the area I sanded on the top of the engine bay with gorilla tape. This helps the unit slide in easier without damaging the foam.

                                    I can't believe how easy that was.
