    Can someone tell us the size of the main gear wheels? Trying to determine if my LX brakes will fit.

      They look like they might be the same as the A-10?

          Im assuming you guys tested the 6s 1550kv 12 blade setup like the other 90mm jets have as stock.

          What differences did you find between that and the 9 blade setup? Im thinking a 12 blade 6s unit might help me get out of the hay field easier. The rhino appears to be lighter tban tbe t45.

                  Yes, and did you test the 4068-1680kV 12-blade also?

                        the mains are the same as the A10 nosewheel which is 2.75 basically, or 69mm. Of course the F4 nose wheels are much smaller.

                          8S Ultra Performance is now available as a pre-order. Please note the mid-May ETA forecast.

                          This is the bad girl I am going to snag when they are in stock.

                                    +1 on the SEA camo Shirty. That and the 9 blade 90 sold me on the 6s stocker. I originally ordered the ARF+ when I thought it was coming with a 12 blade that needed a 150 amp ESC. After it was noted here in the thread (and fixed on the website) went back an changed to the PNP.

                                      You could always do the reverse canopy trick they use to do. Paint an underside canopy, just make it a lighter blue so YOU don't mistake top from bottom. :)

                                        Congrats to everyone who pushed for this bird, it look awesome, can't wait for Mike and Ryan to get their hands on it.
                                        Even better (or worse depending) when Steve gets through with his!!!

                                          Already considering operable canopies with the 3D printed cockpit parts. This beauty looks so good I am not sure it needs much more. Maybe a center burner or AB of some sort. Can't wait. Very stoked.
