                          TD, Welcome to Hobby Squawk, SIr. Be patient, there is great info here and another member will no doubt have an answer for you. That said, the manual setups are a good place to start, though I usually find a 'mean or average' CG suggestion from the posts of the airframe I am finishing and go from there. Hope I have helped some. Best, LB

                              TD, the introduction of FreeWing's Eagle precedes my tenure here, otherwise I might have had better answers for you. It is on my 'bucket list' however. Post pics if that suits you. Always, like seeing how everyone finishes out their models, even if that is 'bone stock'. Best, LB

                                      TD, that's a good question. To match the OEM colors, I go to Home Depot with a panel from the model and have it color matched in exterior latex sample size jar. But to airbrush that is difficult, ask me
                                      how I know.. Hang in there, someone might have a answer for you; otherwise the HD Behr paint is a plan B. Best, LB

                                        • Hi all, I just pushed the button on the F-15C and am going 8S... I thought screw it , why not! Could one of you kind gentlemen direct me to a photo of the battery install on 8S for me? I'm planning on using 2x 4S 4000 unless somebody tells me differently?
