I love the F-86. A few at our field and they fly so nice. Been hoping MRC would add an ARF+ version like Castle RC. That way, I could re-use one of my 80mm setups.Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39
Out of Service: 80mm Mig-21,64mm F-35, 64mm F/A-18
I Want: 80mm A-4, twin 80mm F4J Phantom

The A4 uses a much lighter rotor and a higher KV motor.
The motor shaft lengths are different. The F-86 motor has a longer shaft as the rotor is longer, with higher pitch blades, so you can’t just swap in the A-4 motor without also swapping the rotor.2 Photos

got the maiden out of the way today...all went pretty good landed a little fast so turned left and right and the left main pulled out of the wing not glued in worth a darn...friends f86 flew twice and on second landing same thing happened..his didn't have any glue on the plastic box that goes into wing...when will freewing start using some glue on these things???

the 100a esc for the f86 upgrade is out of stock as most things that I need always are lol...so I got the a4 100a esc and the wires are way too long...I can cut and replace the ec5 plug but ill just coil up the throttle plug . my question is will the esc stay cool enough in the wire tunnel as it wont fit in stock location...alo do I plug the stock esc hole or leave it open for the cooling air? whats everyone else doing to set up the upgrade?1 Photo
