Yes, there is quite a bit of variation, even among aircraft the Blue Angels have flown over the past 30+ years. In addition to the areas referenced above, we also found differences in the side panels along the forward fuselage, between the nose and the wing root glove. Exhaust ports, bumps of various sizes and shapes, etc. We went with what most of our references showed, understanding that most of our general customer base wouldn't notice if a bump was misplaced. But in general, I am happy to see that someone noticed the blisters under the intakes. Ours are accurately shaped, and are even of differing shape and length, just like the "real thing".

Missed the "Live" podcast thinking the time was CDT, not EDT. DOH! So my question, was there a consensus decision whether the FA-18 is going to be offered in grey as well as Angel's Blue? Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Hi Elbee- The poll continues and if they base their decision off of the current and imminent results I would say it's very likely we will launch both liveries together. That's not official, just my two pennies.My YouTube RC videos:

Callie is going to be very busy again... The poor lady works like crazy around release time to give a lot of choices or a custom scheme if you are willing to wait. I really miss my Yellow Aircraft F-18 with a hot .91cc nitro powered ducted fan. I do not miss cleaning up the goop from the tail section after every flight.(glow fuel and lots of oil mixed with dust) or the $9 glow plug every 2nd flight.

2250 on 6S? that'll be like 130-140A in the plane! That'll move!
