Probably a dumb question, but where'd folks stick the receiver and blue box to achieve a >100mm CG? Is everything under the battery tray?
Well, I played with it last night and shoved everything under the tray. Only problem is access if I ever need to get to anything but gives me plenty of battery space to get to a rearward CG.

Hey Gents and Gentlewomen, Buttoning up the tail hook stuff. Just gotta glue the OEM parts back together after the paint dries. Can you smell the fresh paint, Tamms did. I have a new Inrunner AB light set coming from the Goonster (Gooniac33) yet this week, since I replaced the OEM setup. Next is install of all the 3DPUP NG parts. Should be, repeat should be uneventful, as those dry-fit well, but ya never know. . More when there's more. Best, LB3 PhotosI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Wanted to share my progress on a Base Gray F/A-18 I've been working on. Doing the base work for the VFC-12 "Fighting Omars" livery. It looks awesome in pictures! But it sure is a challenging and rewarding amount of work! What I have done so far took several days to get through... Paint, let it dry... Mask for hours, paint, let it dry... Remove mask... Remask... Paint, let it dry, remove mask... Rinse and repeat... Over and over! LoL...
I've decided to do the decals and graphics myself, just due to there being so many variations of gray...
Enjoy! Will update progress as I move along!

And finally, for those who may have missed it, James was kind enough to invite me and my newly painted VFC-12 Hornet on the Motion RC Live show this past Friday (9/18/2020) where we unveiled the new custom paint job and talked about how it was done. If you haven't seen it already, and you love Hornets like I do, it's worth the watch!

Testors 1741 (FS36375) and Testors 1748 (FS36320) are supposed to be the matches for VFA-192 colors based on the research I did. My paints are still on the way, have not had a chance to test them yet, but will likely spray over the base coat as I agree it's a bit on the light side.
I'm a little concerned about the weight it will add though. My model's already higher than spec. weight; weight is the enemy.
