Anyone know the fan swept area of the 80mm? I'm guessing the top speed could be increased a tad by installing a mylar thrust tube with the correct outlet diameter. A percentage of FSA. Also those injection molding tits on current design must increase the drag in the thrust tube. I have one on order. All i have lipo wise is Gens-Ace 5500 and Glacier 5300. Do you guys think that would be to heavy for grass field ops.?

Thanks guys, very helpful. There is something to be said for light wing loading. I may look into a couple 4000 or 4500 packs. With my flying style I may be able to get some decent time out of them. I don't fly my jets like an Ugly Stick. Big open maneuvers with energy conservation. Learned that from watching Bob Hoover back in the day. Still would like to know the FSA. Current project attached for any A-4 fans. Not me but very close to my paint scheme. I have a build thread over on RCGroups.

Does anyone regret buying this plane? I haven't heard anything negative so far, which is amazing. Personally, hopping into my first jet was a little nerve racking, especially waiting for it to arrive, but once she was up in the air, I loved this bird. Batteries are charged and she's taking to the skies today after some front gear surgery.

I wonder if motion has been getting calls about this?

I took out my ribbons and the circuit board; it was dead after the crash and may have been the cause of it. No problems after that. Otherwise a great flier.Still working on knife edges, Feeling my way into it because I usually never do knife edges. Hardest part is giving some down elevator once the knife edge is...

I'm having a hard time getting onto Motions website but the leading edge landing lights on the Tigercat will fit. Don't know if you can buy them separately. I just went and measured them and the leading edge of the Avanti. If you mount them parallel to the leading edge they will point with the wing sweep but you could inset them some to face straight ahead.

The LED's are not avail but I've used these a lot in other light mods.

Stinger 90 nose gear retract issue. On 2nd flight, I had to cycle gear 3x to get nose wheel down. Main gear and doors worked fine. On the bench, cycled gear 6x. 3x the nose gear would not activate and come down. Guys at field took a look and thought the 5v bec might not be sufficient so I upgraded to a Castle 6v, 10amp bec....still problematic. Checked wiring 3 x and everything looks good there. Any suggestions?
