i guess i have to check the chat a bit more often, and thanks for the reply...the pylons i downloaded from thingiverse, are nice but they dont seem to fit the wings of my Gripen that well (not sure if those were yours, are you using the same nick there, have to check the download files )...it might be a bit hard to explain with my limited english but i try anyway ... they seem to sit slightly angled inwards on the wings if you look from the fornt i mean, and they also do not fit that good to the round or cylindircal shaped parts that protrude out of wing near the rear of the wing...at least on my Gripen they dont..

Mine were not facing inwards, but I think that is down to how you mount the brackets into the wings. also the cut out at the rear of the pylons did interfere with the fairing on the underside of the wings but using a bit of heat i was able to shape the pylon around them.

A quick search shows "Type A" as the correct one:
-------
Freewing Landing Gear Steering Arm Type A - Metal - N512
These are upgrade parts for the following Freewing aircraft:- Dual 64mm EDF Jets (A-10)
- 70mm EDF Jets
- 80mm EDF Jets
None of the other types show JAS39 as a special version.
Will leave feedback on the website and see if i can get the Gripen added to the list of planes under F

Well re-maiden done after her recent crash. Flew with canard rates too high and had her very pitchy on the landing, resulted in a bounce and a plop from about 5 foot high. Lost gear doors, split nose open, bent and tore out all but one gear bent foam around the nose. Got her rebuilt, put in a new Rx with gyro and got the cg back to around the 135mm point and she flew amazingly. Now waiting for Christmas to fit my new fan and motor 😁 while I'm waiting I put in some scale details inspired by Jandro (hope you don't mind) 4 Photos

Consider it a mini review of sorts to see does the 3.4kg of thrust with a 6S lipo really add up.
