Hey Tom, I'll be interested in what F106DeltaDart comes up with. I'm trying to avoid replacing the fuselage....mainly because I would have to do allot of wire routing for the formation lights and reinstalling the ones below the cockpit. The starboard aileron is pretty beat up too but MRC doesn't sell replacement ailerons......just the whole wings as a pair.4 Photos

Sorry to hear about the damage! Here is the little I’ve done so far on moving the nose gear back. Pogo, sorry it took so long to post this! The first step was to extend the gear bay farther back, and remove the plastic tray that mounts the retract. From here, you’ll need to remove the blue box and get it out of the way. It is essentially sitting on the scale position for the gear. I then extended the channels that hold the retract tray aft until they popped through the foam wall and extended into the battery bay (see photo). I then foam-tac’d the tray in place. I’m currently working on some plywood formers that will sit inside the battery bay to provide structural support to the retract tray. It’s still a work in progress, and moving all too slowly, but I hope this helps. Best of luck on the rebuild!

Hahaha! Lasagna does have a miraculous way of perking a person up. It's like miracle food. It's magical and never gets old, to me at least. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. LOL

I just wanted to show how I put in the Hobby Eagle A3Super3 in my Raptor. I have had no issues. I have my gain on a knob and 3 different flight modes on a 3 way switch on my Futaba 8J so I can adjust it remotely. It's not needed but it does make this bird all that more enjoyable to fly under less than ideal flying condition. I have a A3Super3 in all my larger EDF's and it just performs well. I also show where I have the connector lead. Since the Gyro is under the battery tray it's out of site but I can still connect to my program card or PC if need be. Enjoy.

I agree. This jet loves to be looked at either slow or fast but I really like the slow flight myself. There is something said for being able to go slow and know you can move if need be.

Thanks to the developement team and Motion, it was another stress free EDF experience.
She has a very wide flight envelope and is just a joy to land. :Cool:

I just plugged the mains into a triple Y harness and plugged that into my RX, then plugged the single landing gear lead coming from the blue box into the Y as well, this way the nose gear has the delay for the doors but still goes up a little bit slower than the mains, looks awesome when you rotate and hit the switch, gear goes up right away.

I would be very interested in that myself as I don't have any triple y harnesses. I could probably solder one but changing the time delay would be the max.:Cool:
