        Great idea. I might need to do something like this. Any issues with canopy fitment?

          I put mine together last night... Shout out to Motionrc for a fantastic, this is hands down the best jet I've ever assembled. Raises the game to a whole new level!

          And they delivered it 2 weeks ahead of schedule?! Bravo guys

            Thanks alpha, that was perfect. For me the 6s then, it won’t be “underpowered” and I fly my foamies nice and tight. I have several turbine jets and I have tried flying my foam jets in their big patterns so I know what you mean. Big Air is cool but for me the beauty of the foam Jets is their simplicity, scale appearance, and ease of operation out of smaller fields.

              No issue with receiver shelf and canopy. If your receiver is taller than mine you can just cut a small amount off the underside rib. Really not a issue as there is plenty of foam under canopy. I added some mixes on switch to allow stock control surface movement along with adding in elevons.

                I’ll have to put something in my signature block but I also own the 70mm Me-262, 90mm F-104, and 80mm Avanti (just for fun). So I’m a big fan of foam jets for another reason, I can have a bunch of them. LOL

                            Looks great but if it doesn’t transform mid flight your only half as good as it looks.

                                  Looks Good, even if it were Matte/Flatt , wonder how much weight you added after all the Polyurethane.

                                    F-22 FORMATION

                                    Utah boys freezing but having a blast getting the F-22s dialed in. We had 3 at the field and 2 on a formation flight just after maidening them.

                                    Sweet flying jet. All stock nosewheels were swapped.
