Thanks Gmack908 I had a four cell balance plug so I just resoldered it on an copied the same pattern. And it works now. Wow you got lots of wires all over the place hehehe

[Gmack908]

Here is what I have

You can push it out and move it. You only need two wires. Should look like this if attaching to one 4s battery.

Ok got my afterburner in with a little cutting looks good. Only problem now is it came with the balance plug for 6s battery I’m using two 4s batteries. Do I copy the same with positive pin four in from left?

Helps reflect the light and stop light from just shining through the foam.

[Av8er278]

Yes some people put aluminum tape inside.

[Gmack908]

What’s that? Inside the exhaust cone to make it shine brighter? I did not. You can see it in broad daylight no problem. If it’s in your house or in the dark the lights so bright it makes the whole back of the fuse glow lmao

[Av8er278]

Thanks Gmack908. Looks good guess I’ll have to do the same. Did you use aluminum tape also?

[Gmack908]

I really don’t want to cut up my plane. And if I did the only problem with that is the very end where there are led’s would be inside only the led’s on the side would be lit and not sure if that would be bright enough for the full effect. If the light unit was shorter there wouldn’t be a problem. I wonder if the others that have this had this problem and what did they do.

Yes I had to as well. I used a potato peeler.

[Evan D]

Yes, they cut it. Just do it. Add some aluminum tape back there to help reflections.

Can you smoothly shape where you cut into a blunt V? To keep the light essentially inside the duct? And maybe use reflective tape in that area...

[Av8er278]

I really don’t want to cut it and disrupt the air flow. And from the looks of it if it was cut the burner wouldn’t be as bright with it inside of the V.

[Evan D]

Sure looks like it...

[Av8er278]

Hey guys do I have to cut foam to make my afterburner fit? It hits the V portion and fan won’t fit. It’s about 1/2 to 3/4 inch to long.

I bought a pristine F-22 from a buddy...He added nav lights both top and bottom...I just freaking love how great this jet flies! And lands so buttery smooth every time.

LemonRx or Spektrum for the receiver, it's worth getting a receiver that can accept a satellite add on. You will want extensions and not just Ys. With that 8 channel you'll have more channels to separate the control surfaces, not just bypass the blue board and then essentially accomplish what the blue box is doing with the Ys. I don't have this plane but it's at the top of my list currently. And I would like to set it up as others have, with full flaperons and spoilerons, rudder brakes. But full span flaps at least requires servo extensions. Spektrum has an 8 channel receiver with as3x and safe. The forward programming features are nice. Sorry I forget what the part name is for the receiver. The 6 channel version is the ar637T.

Hi all, I think I am going to pull the trigger and buy this jet as my first non RTF dc plane. I would like some advice on what is needed to complete for a newbie. I am thinking of getting the dx8e transmitter but would like recommendations on a good receiver for someone that knows nothing about them. Also, should I be purchasing y harness to bypass the blue box or expect it to work just fine ? I don’t have the inventory that most of you have so I want to make sure I’m not making 10 different orders to get this thing completed . Also , what is the standard battery selection ? Thanks .
