QQ.. i am confused. I received my F4 in the first batch to be shipped. I just got around to building it and i am a bit stuck on the decals... are they water transfer only or a combination of vinyl and water transfer decals. The red stars and wing insignia , if i go by the build video on the website, should be vinyl transfer stickers but mine appear to not be. Also anyone else notice the motor speed controllers wasn't attached to the fan?

I am going to rock my SEA livery for a long time with this bird once I get it, but I just know me. She is going to eventually end up a Blue Angel I just know it. ;)My YouTube RC videos:

You mentioned not knowing what CG you were flying at... would you please check and post that for us? I see you've got other recommendations in your review but the CG is an important reference point for context.
I'm glad you liked the stock 9B 6s' sound. I hope you get better weather sooner!
I don't think I can remove enough foam on the bottom of the canopy to get the battery forward without cutting into the cockpit.1 Photo

I finally got around to starting the assembly of my F4 last night. Upon removing the fuselage from the box, I noticed a clunking sound coming from inside. When I removed the hatch, out fell the ESC...humm, that's odd. As I rotated the fuselage to prepare to reconnect the ESC, I continued to hear the clunk. I removed the EDF cover and discovered that the entire EDF was loose. As it turns out, the wooden blocks that the EDF are attached to were glued in with a small dab of glue and must have broken loose during shipping. I re-glued everything and all seems fine now. I'm glad I discovered this now and not in mid-flight.

Yes this has been a known issue with some folk's ESCs. It's unfortunate but it's always a good idea to perform due diligence with any new model checking for loose wires, leads, servo/ESC/motor connections, etc. I personally do not know why this has happened on some of the first releases but we're glad customers are noticing, reporting and fixing before taking off.My YouTube RC videos:

I put my newesr style Admiral battery and it's pretty tail heavy. I'm not sure how I'm going to solve that short of putting in some nose weight.
