Thanks! Yeah it's turned out pretty good! Now if I can just put it into a machine that turns it into a 90 or 105mm size! :Cool:My YouTube RC videos:

Took mine out this morning and I came too close to losing her in the woods. It was acting really wonky from rotation. Wanted to roll to the right drastically...It would act like someone else was flying it here and there. It finally did this weird out of control movement where I thought for sure it was toast (over the trees) but I somehow got it back down in one piece. I checked all the control surfaces and connections, CG was fine...Everything checked out but when I looked at the RX both antennas were partially severed! So it's likely I was battling intermittent fraction of a second brown outs. Yikes!
Needless to say it's getting a new RX before flying again. I am also going to re-route the wires to the front because they were getting hit by the battery every time I was pushing the battery aft as far back as possible for CG.My YouTube RC videos:

Looks great vduniec but yeah, I found out quickly this jet does not fly well fully loaded. Looks great static though! I ended up settling on the central tank. I don't notice any appreciable difference with it on or off.

Heck yeah man! Gotta thank gooniac33 for this one as well as all ya'll. Getting my A10 has given me the confidence to move forward with edfs. The difference from when I stopped flying them nearly 7 years ago to now is indeed night and day.:Cool:I'm now looking at the prospect of bringing back an old project I was working on in 2005. A F2Y Sea Dart. I'm thinking I can use some old retract units I have laying around to even incorporate the ski systems. I do believe they will work if I can waterproof the units. I'm thinking fiberglass for the skis and complete underside, and possibly for the edf ducts if I can get those how I want them. Itll be a while, as I will have to feel out this plane and evaluate the fighter vs the A10 so I can get a solid feel for what I want out of the F2Y project.
