The wait is almost over justa few more days....so ....cmon Motion, tell us our next biggest anticipated plane thats in the pipeline. I dont think I'll feel comfortable not waiting on a new plane to be released lol

[T-CAT]

Can the MotionRC staff confirm whether or not the tail cones are included when ordering the nacelles (regardless of 90mm or 80mm nacelles chosen)?

After a 14 year hiatus, and only being back in the sport for a year, the hype of this thing sucked me in. Broke down and ordered mine today. Now for the waiting game of the group 2 shipments.

Welcome to Hobbysquawck!!!
You just can't shake the bug my friend, no matter how long you been out...
This plane is probably the best thing in RC to ever come out...

[bill34207]

Yeah, that wood be pretty cool Aros!!!
Does anyone know what squadron this plane belongs to???

That's the famous Jolly Roger squadron. Flown by former Tomcat pilots. ;)

[DCORSAIR]

Well I'll be Hawged, got home from work and there was a big Hawg on my doorstep, just kidding, I did get a notice saying my order has shipped and it's the Hawg, whooo hoo...:):Cool:

[ColtPilot]

That's what I thought because it is the only pic I could find of it and saw no tail insignia....

It's a Naval dream and wishing the Jolly Rogers had one. Only F-18's. Used to be F-14's.

[Arcus4]

Scheduled for Friday delivery :)

[dahawk]

Definitely Navy. VFA -103. Jolly Rogers. There have actually been 3 squads called jolly rogers. Too bad the Navy didn't go with a CAS plane like the A-10. But that hasn't been there main role.

Did a google search and this came up

"A-10 is a Air Force plane and hence will NEVER EVER have the vf-103 navy livery, but i shall stand by my arguement that skull and crossbones make any plane look badass."

When I was stationed @ NAS Oceana in the 70's with VA-35 (A-6) a good friend of mine was with VF-84(F-14) Jollies.
Best badass tail on the base back then followed by my squadrons Black Panthers and both squadrons were attached with the Nimitz in 77(year I got out)

[Shirty]

Hey Shirty.. Did you get your notification yet?? I'll add one to my hangar when it becomes available at my usual supplier .. Couldn't justify the $200 plus freight..:Scared::Vomit:

Hey mate, yep!!! Woke up this morning and sure enough got my shipping notice. I'm excited!!! Now, just gotta wait another 10 days or so for it to get here... arrrggghh. Lol

The year I went in. Worked on T-2C Buckeyes VT-26. Then went to air traffic control. Even got back seat qualed with 20 hours back seat time. As an enlisted that was way cool. Fixed broke planes student pilots messed up.

[Shirty]

Off topic but while we're all waiting... Have you seen this shot of an Aussie F-18 on final? Must be a North/South equatorial thing.:Cool:
Tom

Doesnt everybody land like that??? ;)

[downwindleg]

I've inadvertantly done it a couple times on a low inverted pass but I have to go back and replace the divots! :Scared:Brad

[Kurtzz]

I plan on using my trusty Spektrum DX8 for this bird, but I'm going to have to pick up a new receiver. Not a fan of the clone Spekrtum style receivers, especially on a plane of this standing, and not really worried about telemetry either. Would any full range 6 channel or better Spektrum receiver fit the bill? Thanks in advance.

At least it would have logged a couple of thousand clicks before it gets to you..LOL
