I use one switch for no flap, half flap and full flap, where air brake is activated. When making the turning approach I switch to full flap and air brake comes up. I don't experience any considerable vertical direction change, at least not enough that can't easily be corrected. Next I move the switch to half flap; the air brake remains up. This is how I land.

well...would have been a successful maiden had it not been for Zippy.... really enioyed the flight..had my timer set for 3:00, but started my landing sequence at the 2:30 beep in case of a goround need... just before my approach turn, it just lost power..no throttle, no lift..basically no response at all. Thought maybe I stalled it,but you can see my attitude before the crash..certainly wasnt a sharp bank..just a slow (not speedwise) turn. Into the tree it went....ARGGGGGG...
after inspection that Zippy was puffed up like a big ballon...lowest reading was 3:30 .... yes it was fully charged, and only a 2 1/2 minute flight....
now...I can say that the only damage it did was the nose..BUT since FW doesnt offer the nose section by itself...now I get to buy the whole Fn fuselage!!!..btw, MRC,any idea when that fuselage will be back in stock?

I just realized my HUUUUGE mistake...I dont know why,but had it in my mind that this plane required a 30C rated lipo...which is what I had...I dont know why I thought that..read the specs many times before buying the plane... I was using a 35C lipo....oh my ...sometimes I wish my foot would actually reach my a$$ because I would certainly kick the hell out of it...that was a huge ,DUMB and costly mistake.www.TSHobbies.com

I've had my share of stupid mistakes. Sometimes it's an expensive way to learn; I am a leader in that department. Crashed quite a few 450 scale helis before I realized I needed a higher amp ESC to carry the scale body, to mention just one of my blunders. I've also let my batteries grow old flying to their limit. Fortunately my jet survived the crash without serious damage due to battery failure.

Pretty pleased with the whistle mods on my F-15 and F-16; even though the whistles can't be heard much at full throttle, which was to be expected, the sound during slow passes, taxi, landing and take off is very cool to me.
Doesn't seem to effect thrust in the aircraft.

Urrl,
You actually have captured the whistle in the appropriate range of throttle so don't beat yourself up about not hearing it at full throttle because there is no whistle at full throttle on full size fighters. At max or afterburner throttle on full size all you hear is a roar or thunderous screaming roar. Very nice job on the mod!!Warbird Charlie
