    Hee Hee Hee... only one? I don't mean to thread-jack, but the F104 looks super-cool with the stripes. (Just like the P15) Here's my model in the air....

      You insert the CF tube. Then apply glue to the wing, insert the connector wire, and stick the wing on. Then glue the other wing, insert the wire, and stick it on. Then glue the rudder on.
      I just inserted the antenna (didn't glue that) and pooof ... done.. There are only 5 pieces including the antenna and fuselage. Super-easy.

      Actually it took me longer to get the wires into the channel through the fuselage, they were being a bit stubborn. That increased my build time (and blood pressure) by 83%., but I got over it.
      Yep. It definitely takes longer to program a new model into the radio than to assemble this model. Getting the elevon servo wires pushed through the wing is definitely the most tedious part. The wings and V Stab fit well into their respective slots and were perfectly aligned. My only struggle is that I want to run a stabilized Lemon receiver, since the plane is so small, but I'm having trouble finding a good flat, wide spot onto which to mount the RX. I may end up mounting it inverted to the bottom of the battery hatch.

                  um... but it may be a Knight of the female persuasion. Which would be terrific of course!

                                  Day 600: I got several more flights on the P-15 today, before you guys start upgrading the power system please fly it...this thing is extremely fast but it will cruise around very slow with 1/4 throttle or less. I was thinking last night about how it wants to dive with WOT on I've been playing with throttle aileron mixing and have it at 15% and it seems to eliminate it. The pics below show my setup for the mix (plane is setup as a delta wing on the transmitter not on the receiver). I also tamed down the ailerons some more.

                                    So to turn the mix on you have to throw switch A? It's not part of the throttle curve?

                                      Right, I set it up as a standard mix (bench test before flying).

                                          TiredIronGRB, wow that is a lot of reduced throw on the controls. That is good to know. Have you flown with a larger 2200mah battery?
