Winter here on Cape Cod keeps me trying new set-ups on my planes. Got a new one for you guys, I think....I want to set up just Taileron/ Evelons on my F-15. I do have a mix now that runs Normal Ailerons-Elevators and one mix that has Tailerons with Ailerons. Can't seem to figure out how to run just Tailerons. Got a 10 Channel Spektrum with a NX 10 so plenty of channels. Any ides would be great. Thx...

Looks like we might have a V2 of the F15 dropping sometime soon?? Spare parts on the original lists a V2 nose cone in the dark grey paint. It also teases a bit of fuse in a similar darker color.
Could it be a Strike Eagle?

I believe it is. i bought one later last year and the nose cone it came with has a weight in it that is supposed to be glued down towards the tip, but the one i got was loose and slid back and forth. It was obviously a defective nose cone and MRC replaced it very quickly. There was some confusion at the time as to which version i got, but it was def the version 2 with the nose cone should in the above pic. The v1 is different in the way it fits to the fuse...

I haven't done it but maybe a strong Jetfan/ HET 6S set up?
But just FYI. The new FMS 1850kv all metal 6s set up in the F-15 is ok on 6s. On 7s its incredible!! Now that same motor in the new Freewing Hornet and its incredible on 6s!! The Hornet is just designed better and performs so much better with a power increase.
I will have a couple things to try on my F-15 to try and make it less bleh....Check me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33

Been flying my F-15 for over a year. In that time I have tried many EDF combo's. First mod was the Freewing 90mm 12 blade 4068-1835kv in-runner with a 130amp esc.. Great sound good performance but heavy EDF. Next tried the FMS 90mm 12 blade 1950kv also with a 130amp esc.. Much lighter EDF with good sound and good performance. Then tried the new Freewing 90mm 9blade 1900kv with 130 amp esc. Good rotation and speed seems ok sound alittle different than the 12 blade. Sill all these combos still seemed to be lacking in overall performance for such a power hungry bird. Finally found the combo I am sticking with for her. FMS 90mm 12 blade 8s @ 1500kv with 150amp esc. I run with 2- 4s 5000mah 60C batteries in series. Wow what a difference. Vertical performance is outstanding (I can climb forever) rotation on take-offs plenty of power and speed and sound is great. Managed flights avg 4mins with 30% reserve left in the battery. I fly alot of jets and am constantly bouncing around my edf's to get the best out of them. With this bird 8's is the way to go...... Good Flying......

I am a bit surprised. After a long time the F-15 is back in stock but no V2. Many people were expecting to see a V2 version with minor improvements similar to the Goshawk. If there is no plan for a V2 version then what the heck the V2 nose cone with obvious darker colour is for? I appreciate it if someone from MRC comment.
Thanks,
Hassan

I’m a bit behind on keeping up with the forums, but on post #614 I did one of my F-15’s as the 50th Anniversary Sound Barrier jet. The decals are available at Callie graphics. I used old photographs from that Edwards Open House Air Show. As well as used the event program and other things to ensure it was correct.
