Elbee,
Your right Clear as mud. All makes sense now. Thank you.
Working on finishing adding my 3d parts. Slow but steady process, trying not to mess up.
Came up to take a break with the wife and sit by the fire, 11 degrees out so we are eating ice cream, go figure!
2 months till Toledo so back to the skunk works.
Best Regards, Rex

Another question I have.
1 - What is the best way to paint the yellow strips on the ejection handles?

2 - Does the half round pin fit into the nose gear sleeve and able to rotate as the strut retracts?

3 - The shroud on front top of fin, can't grasp how it fits?

Best Regards, Rex

Sending you a PM with helpful info from the LB Factory Archives.

Best, LB

I did not design that tank, but I checked one of my tanks and I have the same line.

I will email the correct file from apmech1 that he designed and I printed all those years ago.

It has the pylon that attaches to the Phantom Phuseage using Motion RC style mounting.

All sounds a bit contrived, but it all works.

Let me now if you have trouble with the STL.

Elbee,
Working the wing fuel tanks. On the photos you sent you had this panel outlined. Was it protruding on the side of the tank for support? I have taped a strip to see if this is correct.
Don't mind the bananas
Back on the Phantom, Rex

Managed to get the maiden done before the snow.
6S High Performance motor and fan.

Nice flying jet.

I'm looking for a suitable model for the Real Flight simulator, any suggestions?

How nice would it be if Motion or Freewing provided accurate simulator models.

Latest update. The High School robotics/3D class is printing the 600 gal centerline fuel tank and mounts plus both front/rear ladders for cockpit. Should have these end of the month. This project will pick up in a week or so.

Hi guys. Just a quick one.. I am now a wingman. My new flying buddy got outa the 80mm and jumped straight into the deep end.. 8s. Navy version. Maidened thismorn and loves it. Was hoping to C it... Hope next wend. And will post couple pics:partying_face:

[f4u ausie]

Awesome pics evan. Again as stated previously. Thanx 4 sharing

[Desertlakeflying]

Anyone try the HH 90 Fan system out of the Viper on one of these?

Just quoting myself to keep the question relevent.

I'm trying to stay on 6S, not 8S

[jetpltrich]

Some of mine. That's a 22 year old me in the cockpit.

Evan, proved the point with those pictures. After you left, I came aboard. Do you remember F-4's in the break while still in Tokyo Bay with fishing boats all around?

Didier did a nice job for sure though the panel line was just a tad bit too much. Now, am I being a little too critical? maybe just a tad. My son builds models for shows and trends towards the panel lines as such. The models I've done don't win awards.

Richy Rich

Thank you

[davegee]

I was on the Midway from mid 1977 to a few days before Christmas 1979 when I transferred to Ike.

Super! Thanks for your service, Evan. I also enjoy and get a lot out of your posts on HS. Good, thoughtful information there.

Cheers

Davegee
