    I'm starting now to get notifications for all the threads after a long while of them just not working for whatever reason, so I just read your message now :p
    AG,

    We've had a few issues here in past few months with heavy spam attacks.

    Glad you're back onboard, Sir.

    Happy New Year, too.

    Best, LB

      • Hi, I just bought a grey F18 and I want to remove all the decals. I tried using a hair dryer but I haven’t had any success. What do you recommend?

        • Paint over them.

            Agree with Evan D. I've repainted 2 90mm F18's, both originally grey. Suggest you first paint a white primer over everything for better paint adhesion and so your final colors come out true.

            Like This: Both are now 8S, sweet! 🤙

              What is your average flight time with the 8S setup?

                  I'm using either an SMC 8S HiV 5900 (972 gr) or 4900 (840 gr). On the 4900, 5:30 and on the 5900 over 6:00, but I usually use the 4900 as it flies better with that pack and 60% throttle is great cruising speed, where the 5900 needs a bit more throttle especially on take off and therefor is not as efficient! The 8S power is outstanding for grass take-offs. If I was on asphalt, the 6S most likely would be fine with an SMC HiV 6S 5900 (750gr).

                    Thanks Hugh, I fly exclusively off pavement with 5000/5700 batteries and I average 5:00 to 5:30 depending on how extreme I get with the flying. What's nice about pavement and my full flap taileron setup is a shorter takeoff with 80% throttle.
