No twins please... Save the weight, hassle, and oscillating sound and stay single IMHO.

agreed.. the single 90 in my F15 is good.... though I havenet tried my twin 80 F14 yet.. if it was to made a twin,Id say at least 80s anyway

Definitely... Twin 70s are too 2005 haha!

Personally I am hoping for a single 90mm myself.

[crxmanpat]

I want my Phantom to be in the class of the F-14 and A-10. Twin 80s please! :)

Now we're talking !

I still would prefer one sized for a single 80mm.Wouldn't break the bank to own and fly. :)

While a single engine does have its benefits of being simpler and more economical a twin engine also has its benefits such as more thrust and redundancy.
If there were to be an engine failure in a twin due to an ESC failure, motor failure or a fan coming loose the plane could still be limped back safely.

Take a look at this rare documented incident involving a Freewing ME-262 with and engine flameout.
Note that an engine flameout in a plane such as the ME-262 is a bit more tricky to fly because of the engines being mounted on the wings causing the the good engine to push it in one direction.
But in a jet like the F-4 where the engines are mounted next to each other this would hardly be an issue.

Twin 80 sounds good to me :Cool:;)

So... just wondering... is this a goer or still on our wish list?

[dahawk]

All can do is hope. Christmas 2017.

F-4 Phantom II is one of my favorite jets. My Man Cave and wallet couldn't handle one, regardless of whether it's a twin 80mm or single 90mm. I'm running out of things to sell!

I just happen to find this great video of a Hobbyking F-4 in action that was too good not to share.

[Aros]

Love the various angles, that's a cool video, thanks for sharing!

[Shirty]

That is cool! I just can't bring myself to stick a telescopic rod in one of my models, guess I have to learn to crash more lol. Those camera angles are awesome.

[Aros]

This is an outstanding POV. The beautiful scenery and day doesn't hurt. I asked him how he did it and he said using two CF rods with a Mobius taped to the ends (see photo). I love how he kept the rods out of the camera view. Stellar!

[Shirty]

Very nice. I like the setup, I thought the cf would get more vibration that far out. Might be a different story on the avanti lol. Any idea how it was secured to the wing?

ps: I finally relented and bought a fpv racing drone for filming the models at my club to get some different angles. (I'm sure it'll go racing too) ;)

[Aros]

No I'm not sure how it was mounted under the wing. Yeah I suspect you're right with the Avanti. ;) I've had my eye on those FPV race drones too...Haven't found the funds yet with all these dang awesome fixed wing models coming out! LOL

Don't you think it's about time for a single 80mm or 90mm F-4? Been waiting along time.
