Thanks Elbee. Interesting that the U.S. Air Force and USAF lettering is the same dark blue used in the Stars and Bars. I didn’t catch that and made mine black.

Everyone gets a kick out of the reverse function on a big plane like the AL37.
My friends at the field are making an entire miniature airport, so I'll take video of that when they have that going and I'm at the field at the same time they're there.

Oxotnik, HK has a warning on their page saying to ensure the motor has stopped moving completely before engaging the reverse function or damage will occur to the ESC and Motor.
Ha-ha, Evan, the backing up is hysterical on the airliner. Always fun .

It works very well on the airliner. Set the brake in the ESC. You can flip the reverse switch on approach and it won't switch to reverse until the motor stops turning. You do not have to wait until the motor stops turning to switch but it won't do any reverse until your throttle goes to zero and the motor stops. I had more fun playing with backing up the airliner than flying it... Almost :)

I have those reversing Aerostar ESCs in my Avios Bush Mule. If I remember correctly, the motor has to spin completely down before the reversing will engage.

Here is a short video of the Qantas Air AL 37 with the Aerostar rvs ESC's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbyz...ature=youtu.be. Should be an Awesome update, and a surprise the first time others see it in action

I have the F-35 ready too. keep them coming MRC, you get two thumbs up from me. I am almost done setting up the new T-33. now all I need is some nicer weather here in SD to go fly this one and the F-35.

MotionRC doesn't have display shelves for walk in customers to look at. They don't need pretty boxes, which for me, generally ends up cut up and dumped in the recycle bin as soon as the plane is put together and working. They've got web pages full of pretty pictures and videos of all their products. That's what gets my attention. The box, I might actually look at it for about 5 seconds.
While we're wasting time wondering about this topic, I somehow can't see some bean counter sitting in his little cubical saying to himself, "Self, if the box art costs us an extra 10 bucks per box, we MUST put 10 bucks less of stuff into the model inside just to keep the projected price the same. We can put squeaky wheels on to save a little money."
