My son is learning EDFs he is 9. He flies the FW 90mm Raptor We put the hobby eagle A3S3 in it and just use the normal mode (helps alot on windier days). Not trainer or auto-level. He loves flying it. He is on the buddy box. But the last 6 flights i haven't had to take over at all. Here is 2 flights we got Saturday afternoon.
he is getting better.

Someone with a decent camera got some great shots of my 8s last weekend!

Why transport it with the wheels down? If you still the the molded foam carton, the fuselage part could tied down to bed and the plane rested on top of it.

Oh it's just this particular photo - I dont transport with the wheels down. Usually there's a few jets stacked on top of one another with padding in between.

We have utes, well, we used to when we had a manufacturing industry. Similar LS series engine to that 'vette with space for an AL37 in the back. I believe these were sold in sedan form as a G8 in the US. Makes light work of a raptor, just go easy on the clutch...

Thank you

the mig is significantly bigger. It won’t fit back there.

[SanExup]

Special enough! The color looks like it goes well with your Yamaha. And you can cruise around with a Raptor and I'm guessing the Mig as well. I think you're doing retirement right Evan!

The new 80mm F-17 or the 70? I wonder how many of us have or have ordered the new 80mm...

Nah I like the looks of the new 80mm but my little 70mm has all the bugs worked out and is like ole faithful. Nice Vett by the way.

I fit the F-22, mig 21, JAS 39, and the EF F-16 all in my pick up. Just to be transparent I do have to take one wing off the raptor .

[Evan D]

Nothing special... 2009.

Evan D You can't just give us a partial view of your Corvette!

You need a bigger truck. It's fits in the back of my Corvette assembled and with the nose glued on... Fits really easy in my airplane hauler.

[Rich81]

This is a big bird. I'm assuming either everybody's got a truck, trailer, or you guys are assembling at the field! I'm pretty sure this fuse won't fit in my truck, even with the pass-through to the back seat (2012 IS250). I'm trying to work out the logistics for this one. I'm wondering if I'm going to need to take my wife's car every time I want to fly this one.

Hi guys. I have a question about my afterburner. The plug that goes to the balance plug on the battery which right now I’m using two 4s batteries so no problem. But I just got a 6s and a 2s. Which battery do I plug it on the 6s or the 2s?

[mshagg]

The air flow restriction is the first thing that came to mind on the 3DP parts. Thanks for confirming that. I will search Evans post to see what he has done. I saw once upon a time but I've slept since then....

It still flies great and TV is an amazing addition to an already amazing plane, but yeah, it kinda defeats the purpose of running a nice warm setup like that if you're going to be robbing thrust at the tail end.
