Official Freewing 90mm F-4 Phantom II Thread

[Radar-Guy]

I had my maiden today, reasonably uneventful, except on landing due to me coming in a little hot, and the condition of our runway, I snapped the connecting pin between the nose gear strut and nose gear servo block. Does anyone know if this gear shares parts with any other model, they aren't showing a specific replacement part for the F4

This connecting pin snapped after the fourth landing on my F-4 (decent touch downs on manicured grass). It is the same pin as used on the large A-10 and the F7F. Looks like a lot of people have issues with this part, it's overhardened and way too brittle.
Part Nr. FJ31111087

Yes, they are supposed to be glued to the fuselage. Create a customer service ticket to report it.

I figured it was. I will just glue them in and keep going.
Thanks

You haven't flown it like that have you?

No, haven't flew it, I am painting first.
Going for this scheme from my Dad's squadron in Cherry Point, NC.

I would tend to agree, there was absolutely no deformation of the aluminum parts, which is surprising

Steve's chute deployment...

Very nice! Can't wait to get mine done too!

[dahawk]

Very cool. What’s not to love about that ?

[Elbee]

I have my F-4 ready for first flight, I have the Spectrum AR610 receiver in mine. Anyone using this receiver and will it be ok for this jet?

RDKR, Welcome to the Squawk! Best, LB

Beauty! Always nice to be able to do a livery that you or a relative flew. Should look fantastic!

This made me smile. :)

Hey, Has ANYONE heard about when these 3DPUP's are going to arrive? It sure missed the mark of "Late April"...…?

[RCjetdude]

Still waiting on some as well. Going to do a cockpit up for static display.

[Dlxpkg2000]

Well, Well, Well. Just chatted with a rep. at MRC, and was told My PRE-ORDERED 3D PUP's are ALL SOLD OUT ! NOT ACCEPTABLE MRC !

how exactly does that work?

Online chat support tells me Freewing hasn't produced the parts yet, but are expected to arrive "within two weeks"

Rip my cockpit for the Jet Jam

[Jhnybgd]

Just unboxed my F4,was surprised it is almost the identical size of my LX F4,just way heavier.....in pieces any how.
BTW the LX F4 is incredible with 2 FMS 70mm V2 inrunners and 70 amp speed controls!
