Nice, you guys are so fortunate to still have those kits, wish I would have bought two extra kits back when they were available, great flyer, maybe one day they will bring it back....

I just posted a WTB advert on RC GROUPS. Then I had 3!

Will refinish this one, already discussed with Callie.

10 year Eurofighter Luftwaffe Annerversary.

Wow!! Lucky you!!!

[Vintage Racer]

I plan to, as this is my trainer. I have two new in the box models when I learn the type a little better. Get some stick time on it.

Take care of it, since it is discontinued!

[Vintage Racer]

I have been flying one I picked up used. It needed a bit of work, but I really like it. I just put the RC Geeks Twin Burner in. Very fun to fly.

I too believe that this model should still have parts available. It is the number one crime with this industry, I believe.

Does anyone have this plane for sale?! I want one and am sad it’s been discontinued.

Spares would be nice too.

Men i wish they didn't have discontinued this model, I'm looking for a spare rudder.

If all you need is the rudder, just cut and sand one out of 1/4 inch (6mm) balsa sheet.

For the entire vertical stab a bit more work is needed but it could still be made out of balsa with thin ply (or 3D printed) reinforcement where it mounts to the fuselage.

Nice to see you on the squawk. Wish I could help you on the rudder. I still haven't maidened mine yet.

I will miss this jet the day mine ceases to be...

Why we still need another one of these...

Yes we do need another one of those.

I don’t think there’s a difference between this part from V1 to V2. That link you put up is likely not the correct one although you will be able to make it work by grinding out a notch in the right place and making the pin a little shorter. Here is the correct one for the Eurofighter:

Notice where the notch is and the length?

Thanks Xviper, I'll get that one then as shipping will probably be less than from motion in the USA. My strut and wheel are fine, just the trunnion is stripped (which is a plastic one for the V1 plane). I also broke the wing but already fixed with some epoxy and spakfilla to reshape a few notches out of the leading edge. Mains are OK.

Can someone please confirm what retract is needed for the front gear. I have the V1 plane. Would this work: https://www.motionrc.com/products/fr...m-shaft-type-b

I have 2 Eurofighters - one I have already upgraded with the Freewing 90mm inrunner unit which has good performance although it is heavy (and expensive).

I wish to upgrade the other but would prefer a lighter unit and was thinking of the FW 9 blade 1750kV unit that is in the PNP F-22. It will be 6S, like the original.

What do you think?

Jkallend,

Are you looking to sell one? I'd pay 500 or so for one in decent shape.

[MOFO1]

jkallend. I installed the EDF unit from the 90mm F-4 which I believe is the same as the 90mm F-22, in the 90mm EF2000. To me the EF2000 seems to fly much better than with the stock unit it came with. For sure gained top end speed but lost a bit of low end thrust. I thing you will like it, I know I do.

My buddy installed a stock 6S 9 blade unit out of an F-4 in his Euro and said it works great, mine has the 1550kv unit in it, I just swapped it out from the 1450kv, I had a spare 1550 laying around so I thought I would try it, mine came stock with the 1450kv, I had my Euro out over the weekend, got a few flights on it. Had a right retract problem last time I had it out, thought I fixed it but noticed the right strut was loose again, so back to the shop and this time I found it, a set screw was loose up inside the retract itself, there are two that hold the shaft in place, one had came loose and was letting the shaft turn which I thought was the strut that was loose, fixed and nice and solid now.
