[QUOTE=RCjetdude;n172827]I am so glad Todd...:Whew:
I found some gray Duck brand tape that is almost a perfect color match to cover the wire runs in the bottom of the wing. Also added the generator and mystery decals.
Hey Steve, could we see a different angle showing the tape and maybe a picture of the tape roll? Is the tape dull or shiny?

O.K. cool! Might be able to dull that shine down with super fine sandpaper or a scotch bright pad. That also might work over the torque rods for the thrust vectoring.....speaking of whitch, do you think the plane should be maidened prior to adding the T V or just add more exponential 'til I'm used to it?

I *think* I have it but I was wondering if someone had a photo of where the TRAILING EDGE of the elevator lines up with the aft section of the fuse. This will tell me how close or how far off I am. I appreciate the help. Here's a photo of where I have mine at the moment...

Originally posted by adb2@suddenlink.net View PostI found that on my Raptors that matching the trailing edge of the elevator with the the back edge of the fuselage works out perfectly. Any trim that I have had to make was so slight you wouldn't notice it. I have a friend with two Raptors and he has the same set up I have with the same good results.Just what I have found. Others may differ.

When I bought mine I did so knowing it was to have it with TVs and I modded it while assembling it. Never flew without the TVs. I also rewired it when assembling it. That said I would also recommend flying it stock and then deciding as Steve has said.

I would recommend flying it and getting it trimmed first.

I have heard the same thing, I believe including this model as well. Steve has his set to just a touch of down which is where I am currently at pre-maiden. I imagine if I even line it up it will fly well. Just wanted to make sure I was in the proper ball park.
