Do glow in the dark strips show up in daylight? If you don't fly at dusk or at night, what's the point?

B-2 = OK, PJ-50 = OK, F-4 = OK and P-38 is more than OK. Although past history…the MiG-29 and A-10 were both OK.
Caution - The strobes on the B-2 tips at a distance in dim light create a weird optical illusion of roll/bank movement that she is not actually doing. So, ya gotta ignore the illusion.
This is typically a calm part of the day, and nothing beats the sunrise / sunset view of a B-2 against the eastern/western sky.
Leave the gear down on the AL-37 and come by in a high pass, and you swear she’s a full scale bird. Simply BEAUTIFUL!

Different or better? That's up to you. It's a different plane, a 90, no TV... Other than that we are guessing. I think it's going to be heavy for its size but that's my opinion. I think it's a very good looking model of a jet I like and has potential so I ordered it as soon as it was available.
No announcement of staff changes have been made here. James did his Friday podcast last Friday so he's still here.

I wrote Wes but he never replied… the tape is over one of the new stabilized Lemon receivers. Interesting that he did it. I know Motion sells Lemon though they don’t have the new 7 and 10 channel stabilized receivers on their site yet.
I tested one of the 10ch and like it but there are a few things about it that I don’t like…

During the first flight video of the Typhoon, Wes said there was NO gyro in the plane for that flight. Though it's hard to really tell for sure, I count 7 leads plugged into that RX under the tape, with one empty one, so 8-ch. Their new 10-ch has pins on both ends of the unit. Their new 7-ch has all 7 pins in one end.. Lemon hasn't had an 8-ch RX for a long time now, so perhaps this is some new, upcoming Admiral effort that they don't want shown to the public just yet or it is a stabilized RX that was used in that flight and that too, isn't something they want exposed.

Ok the peer pressure has taken hold. I'll measure the car tonight (Euro Econobox) and if all is well I will probably place the pre-order. Wes MRC if you get a chance can you measure the height of the tail from the ground when level on its wheels and also the track width of the main gear please?
Regards, Ben.😊

I thought it was just lazy scheme making for the DCS model! :o
But I looked for it on Google and couldn't find a single pic of the jet from the reversed side so now I'm curious what's this all about?
Originally posted by GliderGuy View PostOff topic, but I fly the first take-off 20 min before sunrise and the last landing 20 min after sunset quite a lot. Of the birds in my hangar, the AL-37 hands down has the best LED lighting scheme for these times of day. [...]

I'm a dusk flyer myself and if the final jet doesn't feature the formation lights, they will be missed. I was reaally hyped to see them in... too bad :(​
