seeing mig21 EDF it looks fast, but when there is a turbine powered T45 near, flying at 40%, 14minutes of juice in tank... it all looks a bit different
(yes, I did the mig21 also later on, a beast, head to head with an EDF one from first video with t45... it will be fun)

Ive just bought one of these as the arf version. Nice enough and installation is OK, jetfan 90 and HET 700 68 1500.
Got round to installing the fuselage tail section using the glue that comes in the kit. Well it didn't go as planned. Removed any paint and lightly scuffed up. Put the glue on it (enough to ensure a good joint,) and pushed the parts together. Tiny bit came out here and there. After 5 mins it all started melting, Around the joint bubbled up and went really soft.
Hours later it has hardened up somewhat and I've had to sand it back and repaint. Its kind of acceptable now, but has anyone else had a similar experience. The glue seems overly aggressive and the rubbish instructions don't say use sparingly, but I hadn't put more than necessary on.

Hello all. I just got the V2 ARF+ version and plan on using the edf fan from my previous F15 model.. Reading a lot about the V2 still being a little sluggish with the 1900 kv that comes with the PNP. Is it safe to assume that a lower the kv motor = more potential speed? I fly with 6000 60c lipos..and recently moved from sea level to about 8,000, so I know ill be dealing with thinner air for the fan to grab onto.. longer take off/landing roll.. considering going down to 5000 lipos with higher C rating. in hopes for greater speed... Any advice regarding the kv rating or ways to increase airspeed?

New T-45 Flew great! out of the box very little Trim needed. Had minor adjustment to get the reverse to work on the Jeti radio! I had to go in and adjust the end points for the reverse. No big deal very happy with the way it fly's very smooth thanks A lot Motion RC Another great plane bought from you again you delivered everything you guys said it was. job well done!

Doh, I just reread your post where you states you had the thrust reverse, it's been a long week for me. What kind of duration are you getting? Had you flown the previous, non leading edge slat version? And do you notice a difference in rotation distance? I have that version and I'm considering getting a second. I really enjoy how the Hawk flies, the 70mm the 90mm. The thrust reverse alone is a nice addition but more duration and or more speed are always nice too!

Hi all,
I need a replacement wing as my gear came out on landing. Not very well glued in and flap came off aswell.
Anyway, has anyone bought the replacement wing set?? If so, what is included and what isn't. The picture only shows top surface, which is useless.
I doubt retracts are in it, but are servos, doors, trim plastic. Basically what do I need to order extra??
Thanks
Dave
