      T33, I can't speak to the company you keep ; however, EA6B is a 'top-notch' contributor. That written and more importantly, your Phantom is 'Sierra Hotel'. Outstanding work, Sir! Best, LB

            Great meeting you T33! Your F-4 looks fantastic. The photos don't do it justice.

              LB! Thanks for the compliment. (I think that was a compliment?) Anyway, you continue to be the "scholar and gentleman" of the Sqwak. BZ

                EA6B, Yes, it was as 'back-handed' as I could make one and still be allowed to contribute to the forums myself. Look forward to meeting you one day, Sir. Best as always, LB

                • Looks like a concrete ramp to me.. not nonskid steel.

                  • I believe the weapon pylons evolved over time.
                    FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

ID:	213730 I’ve been so busy building (4 now) F-18C, I forgot I wanted a Phantom. I finally got one and here she is, right next to an old friend of hers.

                            • I’ve got a second Phantom coming, I plan on installing a 105mm power setup. If I can make it fit without having the fuselage weaken, I should have about 7kg of thrust for an AUW of approximately 5.5kg. I don’t think she will have any issues with vertical performance.😄👏🏻

                              Will post updates as I go, I’ve been wanting to do something like this for some time now.

                                  I got everything fix and repaired on my F4. MotionRc got me the parts very fast , so I put them on and she is flight ready again.

                                    • Welcome.

                                      The scale is listed on the FreeWing and Motion site and in the manual... It already has a brushless ESC.

                                        If you're getting graphics from Callie, order the 1/11th Scale graphics for the 90mm F4.
