My Jolly Roger went in today at eJet Fest in Florida. The 2S pack puffed while trying to get in a flight for the scale competition. I either ran it without charging first or it had a cell go bad. Damage was very minimal. It could have been much worse.

Sorry to see that Steve!!!! She will fly again!!! But, still NOT COOL AT ALL!!!! :(Comment

My centerline tank, the ordnance and the nose cone took the brunt of it. All easily replaceable.Comment

I did notice the CL tank was a tad bit crumpled.... LOLComment

Puffed a Battery myself last time out. Bummer Man. All my Underbelly Stuff protects the BigParts too during those Tussles !! Looks like she'll fly again !! You came away pretty good actually. These F-4s are Tough. Gear Ripped out of mine a couple times and she's ended up on her Back more than once. Still flying and LookingGood...GL on the repairs.

Time to take care of electronics and landing gear. She has to stand on her own feet. Tailhook modification, cockpit and elevator servo upgrade are the next steps ahead. Not yet sure if I like the built in electronic board, I think I will change to old style with each servo to receiver by single plug.Comment

Gorgeous Wobi !!
I had a Goofy wing connector on mine and managed to work through that. Still some confidence/reliability issue there for me each time it goes up. I just hang on and hope it all works out. I use the BBox and have not Bypassed it. Same in the MiG-21 and A-4 for me. I use them and have not had any issues with that component. CheersComment

Not to be mean to RC Jet Dude but the only place I can think of getting the tiny springs would be a crashed bird...Comment

I found the picture of my ball link before I replaced it. This was the elevator push rod I first put in. It bent like that over the first 20 or so flights.Comment

Another goofy question.I use spectrum 636 sport receivers and they have no extra port for a BEC. This is the first external BEC I have ever had to deal with. I understand the properties I think. Question is...can I use a Y harness and hook the BEC and the throttle into one wire?Comment

Put it on the bind port.PatComment

Awesome...thanks Pat.
