Was it an all if a sudden violent dive?

Yes. I was holding all my inputs steady and the nose just dropped.

Ryan Ramsey had that happen several times on one of his phantoms. Seemed like it was mainly after flaps were deployed. He tried different receivers and even the Tx. I am not sure if he ever figured it out or not.

Maiden of my dash two Phantom today. Just amazes me how well these jets fly. Zero difficulties, just a few clicks of nose up trim required. :)

LOL EA-6BG, I was thinking the same thing. I am hung up on how to compensate for the extra 12oz I've added in decals with some weathering yet to do. LOL Soon, Brother, soon. Congrats on your 1st check flight. Bravo Zulu. Best LB

You know what to do; just add a couple extra knots for mom,dad, and the kids when you make that turn to final. Seriously, you're going to really enjoy flying that jet.
Cheers!:)

Tried to search this thread, but what kind of mph do you guys get on your 8s set ups? I know C ratings vary but just curious.

With a pair of 60C's I was clocked at 111mph straight line using a cops radar gun and 118mph with an on-board GPS. That's at close to 4800ft so if your at or closer to sea level you should see higher numbers.

I have seen 118 om my onboard spektrum gps

with JF on 8s

Not sure on accuracy but it was shaking its tail feathers:)

Hey Y'all, ran across this Osprey Publication on Marine Viet Nam era F-4s. Great color plates starting on page 36. Great information as well. Enjoy. Best, LB

Starting to consider setting up the controls.

I think I'm going to pull all of the flight controls off the multi-function board so I can use advanced features of my radio, leaving the board to do lights and retract sequencing

[Evan D]

Starting to consider??

I already have the programing in my radio for the F/A-18C and two choices of EDF/ESCs to put in it and it's not even released yet. :)

[Papadave418]

Still in research mode for this plane, anyone done 10-12s?
