Late to the Avanti S party (having too much fun with other planes) I bought a stock red high performance version and added the nose gear 3D printed support.
I stripped off the decals, primed, rubbed down with wet and dry and sprayed with PlasticKote sprays and added the decals from the FW 90mm T-45. This has not added much weight, maybe a few oz, but I think it’s added a lot more appeal. Flys just as well.

Just bought the red Avanti. I’ll need to remove those wings on a regular basis in order to transport and store the aircraft.
The white plastic connectors for the ailerons/flaps are a bit fiddly to remove on a regular basis and I’m worried they’ll get worn after a while.
Are there any mods for these connectors?
Cheers

Just about have my new Yellow Avanti finished and ready for maiden. Added the nose gear support, tail nozzle, and CF tubes to the nose gear doors for support. Will also add a dab of hot glue on the nose gear door spring to keep it in line. Balanced just a hair nose heavy at 115mm for a bit more stability on maiden but plan to adjust after I get comfortable with it. Will fly off both grass and paved runways at times. Battery is a RCBattery 6S 5000mAH 45C. Maiden will be at 3:00 minutes and I’ll check remaining battery and adjust from there, a practice that’s always worked well for me. Can’t wait for some decent weather to get this beautiful model in the air. I’ve read so many good reviews on it and hope it lives up to the hype!5 Photos
