Okay, sorry for the bad pics but the sun was not in the right spot at the time, got a flight in before work this morning, didn't fly with the centerline tank yet but did fly it with everthing else in the pic, flew great, small trim change and it actaully landed better, wasn't so floaty with full flaps, just right actually and it looks awesome in the air when you turn and show the belly, not scale ordinace but close enough for me.
Just in case someone wants to know this info, I used the attachment points from the FW 90mm F-16, if you look in the spare parts you find that they sell them seperate, the drop tanks and centerline tank are from the FW Intruder, and the pylons and sidewinders missles are from the FW 90mm F-16 and the other missles are from the FW F-15. My CG remained the same, I did move the battery forward just in case but I ended up in the same spot as without ordinace or drop tanks, so that was a good thing, she flew great loaded up, I know I won't be flying it clean anymore, looks just awesome in the air.

Is this what you used to hang the F16 stuff under the wing of the F18? I too got the F16 ordinance but have only been able to fit the wing tip sindwinders

[QUOTE=Carlbrainiac;n210625]Awesome thanks. Any modification needed or just slot and glue in?[/QUOTE
Just make sure you use a sharp xacto knife for the job but be careful you don't go through the top of the wing. I do drill small holes in the tab that goes into the wing, this helps give the glue something to grab onto or you could rough up the tab with sandpaper, you get the idea.

So this evening I checked the connections on everything again. Now my retracts all work just fine. So that's good news. But glad I ordered the better servos but I one is still dead and the other one is very juddery through its motion. Not nice at all. Doesnt even feel nice when you power it down and move it by hand.
Such a shame. Would've loved to have flown her tomorrow but with dodgy elevator servos and missing two 80mm push rods I'm grounded ☹

Also what are these blue bits for...
And have many people glued the 2.5mm carbon rod into the slot of the nose gear strut to give it some reinforcement? I read somewhere that someone had done it. Thought it might be a good idea though I am aware adding strength in one location usually just means the weakness gets moved further back...
