My buddy that crashed his first Hornet a has a new replacement... Flew it several times yesterday with no issues at all! It flew great! Another friend that got a replacement got a successful day in today... I will be getting mine set up this week if possible now that my F-22 is going strong...Check me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33

I posted it on the MotionRC Fan page on Facebook. I will make a full post about it when the wing tanks and pylons are done and test flown. The pylons are almost done printing . All 3 tanks are done.

Dont suppose anyone here has heard anything more as to when the Eurpoean market is due to start receiving the base grey pnp? Still waiting for my order that I placed 14th May. This has been the longest wait of any purchase I have ever made. Really hope it all comes through working properly and none of the issues some people have been experiencing.
Just out of interest though if I do find my elevator plate loose when I get it out of the box what glue have people been using to secure it? I was thinking medium C/A if I have to do it.

So I’ve successfully test flown the centerline tank with no issues. It’s a 3D printed tank, was spiral printed and very light weight for 3DP. I cut foam on the belly to put the pylon very tight to the fuselage so it couldn’t wiggle. The jet needed no trim with the tank on from stock, and if anything , the tank acted like a keel necessitating a little rudder during slow flight turns.
As you can see in my video, it fly’s fantastic.
I’ve printed the wing pylons and tanks and fitted them, but didn’t get a chance to test fly it today. I have to go fly airliners for a week and will post the test flight results when I’m back.

Hi: great looking centerline droptank and pylon! Is it possible to get the 3D printing files for those of us who would like to add this onto our airplanes? Also, the wing pylon 3D files would be great to have too, as I would like to have them look scale to this model. I did buy some F-16 parts from MRC for this purpose, but they don't measure up as well as I would like. If you provide a service for printing these (since I don't have a printer) if you could tell me what you would charge to print and mail them to me, or if you don't do that, just the files would be great!
Thanks,
davegee
Print in spiral/vase mode one half at a time to keep them light.
