I put the Xfly unit in my plane and it has transformed the plane... I can actually putt around at 1/4 throttle and the plane doesn't want to fall out of the sky! Its part throttle performance is incredible now and I don't need full throttle hardly at all anymore! Flight times have increased as a result and its just much more enjoyable to fly! Still using stock esc and either an HRB 6s 50c 6000 or CHNL 6s 30c 6200. Over 4 mins flight time for my flying style...

I had some elevator horns 3D printed. Much more secure than the stock setup.4 Photos

OK, read pretty much the whole thread and also watched Ryans setup vid. Hoping someone could validate the following setup.
I am thinking setup as follows?
- RT 6S 4400 70C
- CG at 90mm?
- 4mm up Elevator from neutral?
- 50% flaps (per manual) 10% Elev Mix?
- 100% flaps (per manual) 15% Elev Mix?

Scale Master is that a skunk in the dog bed? BTW, outstanding looking livery. You sure earned your nickname with this one!

I just put the fms 2100kv fan setup in my eflite f18 and exactly as gooniac33 said way better now. More power all around. Better takeoff, vertical, power, everything!
The 80$ doing the fms fan/motor swap is worth every penny. It's a totally different jet now!

I just upgraded to the new FMS 2100kv fan. Drop in easy fit and perfectly balanced! I added a UBEC just to be safe but am using stock esc. The plane feels considerably better now!! Off the ground much faster, steeper climb and higher top speed!! Its simple and somewhat cheap considering too!

The Eflite F-4 didn’t come with a RIO which was sort of strange, but easily fixed.

I put 3 more flights on the Hornet yesterday. Great flying airplane, that looks great in the air. Landings are easy, and very scale looking as well. Very nice jet all around, Eflite did a solid job.
Only thing I need to do is add a weapons officer in the back seat. Not sure why they left him out.

John Bergsmith Thanks for your maiden report and CG confirmation! That's always helpful information. Nice picture, too.
