Got my maiden done today. Wow what a great flying bird. Honesty my first maiden where I did not need one click of trim. I flew of the dirt road next to our grass field I still don't have the confidence to fly it off grass. Our grass is thick. I did taxi it in the grass and that nose wheel disappears in the grass. Anyone doing a bigger front wheel mod?

I flew this awesome jet six more times today. I moved my 4000 mAh Admiral 60C a quarter inch aft of the forward foam stop and it's flying even better. I reduced the aileron throws to 60 percent of low rate settings and it rolls about 360 degrees per second now. Takeoff distance with flaps up is about 85 feet and landing distance with full flaps is about 100 ft. Performance penalty with missiles is negligible. These jets just keep getting better. Great job Motion and Freewing!

Look Ma, no wires ! Okay, I know it's not scale. Pure Blasphemy ! But I'll have a little better visual . Wireless, rechargeable LED Nav . 3 modes: Strobe, fast blinking and slow blinking I mounted the wing lights under the wing so from the top view you can't see them. https://youtu.be/uXBAFJ9Tt_k

Hey Tony,
Paul Wood flies his A4 almost as good as you ! With a little practice he may catch up. Notice the Bon Homme Richard Livery ? https://youtu.be/OCjZcoNY9AU

So, pull it back out of the box and do it Boots. If you like the looks of it then go for it. There are so many schemes to choose from that if you have made it this far, I think you have decided. ;)

Yeah it wasn't too awful bad. But it messed up the fuselage nose gear mount area and a main gear. Just basically slammed into the runway on final due to my pulling power while fighting the wind. Bad move.
Anyway, I have an ARF+ that will be flying soon. Still got other birds to fly and today looks like a good day to do just that.Meridian Aeromodelers, Meridian MS

Viper,
Now had you just waited to fly with us on October 7th at the Warbirds over Grapevine event, you could of at least taken home a prize:
Just kidding. I hate when this happens and it happens to all of us. Been there , done that, got the tee-shirt. Glad you got right back up on the horse. Great positive attitude !
