Thank you Shirty. I did all the things you suggested. Found no problems with plugs etc. I did attach the wing fences and flew the jet today. The issue seems resolved and I think it is because the fences allow better knife edge without all of the mixing and without the high amount of rudder required to maintain level knife edge. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks to Top Gun, I’ve copied is color for the top and painted the checks on the stab. I also took his advise on what afterburner to get. Two questions, will the cone sticking out farther than the jet fuse cause enough drag to hurt anything? And the afterburner lights, are they supposed to light blue all the time? When I plug item up they come on low then as I throttle up, they turn brighter blue then orange then red so they are working just wondering about them being on at low throttle.5 Photos

Got all the control surfaces manually centered and put a 6s 4500 battery in and checked the CG. With battery full forward it’s at 115mm, instructions say 105-110. Will I be ok? I did add the afterburner light ring and plastic cone and metal tape to cover channel for wires but I can’t see that making that much difference. I know CG is just a starting point but I also know tail heavy planes get squirrelly quick.

Ordered mine this weekend!!!! I have a few questions.
Has anyone color matched the blue paint from the canopy on motion's webpage. I think it looks sharp and may do the same to mine.
I have been flying my rebel v2 a bit and of course wanted to go bigger and faster. I have been told this is easier to fly than my rebel. Any truth to that?
