Just wanted to give a thumbs up to Callie Graphics...
I ordered the Lady Jessie livery for my A-4 and after I got my order confirmation I noticed the stripe was not in the set for the wing tanks. Only for the avionics hump. I ask about it and offered to pay extra for them and they said they would include them with no extra charge.
It's people like this and Motion RC that go the extra mile to make this a great hobby...
Thanks to Callie and MRC!!!

My A4 is basically finished. Ordered some more decals from Callie as I screwed up the tail. The hump is growing on me. I like it now.
Being the arm chair quarterback I am, the one thing I would have done differently would be locating the control board aft of the battery. Ample room back there. I still might end up doing this.
I have the RX and A3L stuffed up front. Actually had to shave off a little bit of the tongue in order to close the canopy. It all fits and I'm happy. Let me know if you feel the same way. The area behind the batt calls for a vacancy sign. Rent this space. Beaucoup room.
I've only tried mounting an Admiral 4000 40C (598g) and she balances very well. Want to try some 5000's. Thinking a RT 5000 45C(755g) 70C both could work well in this plane but I'll wait for Andy's opinion as he's also getting an A4 this week. I'm going to start comparing weights of various 5000mah lipos. Really don't want to add weight to the nose.

HHNF,
Good to know. I didn't bother to measure. That's good news though. Both the 45C & 70C RT 5000's will fit. The only issue is weight.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
