Thanks LB!
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

Thanks!
Glad that's figured out then!

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?

[Evan D]

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?

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.
