I just looked at some side pictures of the real plane and I can't even see an actual seam or panel line where the elevator is. I think the model just happens to have a seam there due to the way the mold was designed and it's that seam that is used as a reference.

The original CenterBurner line of simulated afterburner lighting systems is the world’s best and most trusted simulated afterburner lighting system! Designed around a custom built LED light boards, it provides a center "glow" and flame effect like a full size jet aircraft afterburner!

RC Geek's Centerburner is fan-freakin'-tastic. Have it in my 90mm F-22 and it's SWEET. Have mine wired into the UBEC and is programmable to whatever throttle points you wish. Mine activates around half throttle.

Originally posted by xviper View PostI think "everyone" was just me. :Straight-Face: I used "up elevator" to better describe which direction from the plane's mid-line to set the leading point of each elevator since the word "down" was used without further definition. It was purely for clarification purposes in a very specific circumstance. Sorry to inject any confusion.

Originally posted by T-CAT View PostThanks guys. The flying field is Apollo. Due to the new FAA rules released and our field being in controlled airspace (Delta), it is not on their approved "fixed site" list for RC aircraft operation. The situation is currently being worked on in hope of gaining approval from the FAA to be added to their list of approved flying sites within controlled airspace. Although I'm optimistic, there is always a chance that the request will be denied. The field just had a jet rally over the weekend and two FAA reps. were at the field observing, answering questions, etc. They appeared very nice, but the decision isn't directly theirs. If the field does get approved, they can further limit flight operations such as lower altitude ceiling, etc.

T-Cat, I saw on FB that Apollo is now in fact shut down by the FAA. Any more information on your end? I can hardly believe it.
Apollo is approximately 1.5 miles from a busy controlled airport and the departing traffic from runways 16L/R and arriving traffic from runways 34L/R bring aircraft near Apollo. Hopefully officials believe that RC flying can be safely performed and integrated into the surrounding airspace. I'm hoping for the best as it would be great to be able to fly there in the future. It's interesting because I learned to fly full sized aircraft at KVNY, and learned to fly RC aircraft at Apollo, so both hold a special place in my heart.
