Awe crap!!! That is a kick in the gut, damn sorry to hear that bro. :(

[Hardway]

Well, I just got a kick in the gut..... I tested all the paints I am using for the F-16C on an old A-10 wing, including the clear coats.... After I shot the white paint on the canopy, I decided to clear the vertical stab/rudder so I could apply the graphics... The clear wrinkled all my red, white and blue paint! :Scared::Angry::Crying: So........ I am ordering a new vertical stab from Motion and starting over, I guess.... I am not very motivated at the moment... Time for a few Coronas and lime. :Drinks::Drinks::Drinks:

[Hardway]

About to spray the white paint...

[rifleman_btx]

Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

[Hardway]

Thank you all. Sure makes me smile when my R/C brothers like the paint job!! :Cool: I am about to start masking the canopy and try to finish it up this weekend....

Still in progress. Lots of masking, lots of waiting for paint to cure so more tape can go on.....

:Whew:

Man that looks really good!!!!

[rifleman_btx]

Heck yeah

[Hardway]

Thank you guys!!!! It has been fun, but a lot of work!! LOL.. Not compared to sanding balsa and glassing and priming and then sanding and sanding and.... well, you know.... I am looking forward to it being done. And it does fly great. I flew my other F-16C twice. Maiden was awesome on Good Friday.... The next flight was great right up to the point when I lost an elevator and it bounced off the road at about 90 mph, skipped the barbed wire fence and ended up in the field. The 4000 battery ended up about 10 meters further forward!!! HA!!! Oh well, at least I found all the parts! It is a tough girl! :Cool:

A bit windy for a maiden flight but I decided to risk it.

MAGA!

I am looking for the correct setting for the hobbyeagle since I have never used is in my planes. I have this jet and would like to know what settings you use with your jet. Also can you share more pics of your lighting install. I want to do this too ! :-) thank you

[wricksta]

Awesome stuff! Got the maiden done today! Great flyer. 4:12 in the air plus taxi both ways... 3.83 on the Admiral 4000 Pro at stop. Seemed a bit nose heavy but after trim, inverted was minimal stick pressure... Happy! :):Cool::Drinks:

Very nice! That is good flight time. I use a gens ace 5000 and get 4:30 in the air, coming in at 3.76 per cell and battery is barely warm. It is nose heavy with the 5000, but I like to be uniform and use the same batteries in all my edf's.
