Hi guys,
I had a hard landing last fall and jammed the left main gear and it stopped working. I ordered a new gear and I am trying to get it installed. I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get the wiring ran. I can’t even see where to unplug the one that is in the plane. Any tips on gear replacement on this would be appreciated.

James, I've got a question for you. I'm a retired naval aviator that's flown a number of aircraft including the T-45C, which I've personally landed on the USS Enterprise during carrier quals. I'm an Instructor Pilot with CSRA Flyers out of Augusta, GA where my buddy Steve Storer presented me with a T45 for my birthday. Love that guy! However, there's one aircraft I've been patiently awaiting for you guys to develop. The one I flew for the Corps while in VMA-231... the AV-8B Harrier.
As the Motion RC Guru, could you add some boundaries to my hopes and expectations and give me a yay, or nay on whether the AV-8B is an aircraft that Motion/Freewing would ever offer?
I have personally conversed with Joel Vlashof who said his goal is to get the AV8 and STOL version of the F35 into production (https://www.youtube.com/c/JoelMelanieVlashof/videos). Maybe you all could team up and expedite development. Your thoughts, Sir?
Thanks for your time,
Doug

Looking at this bird, but have my own power setup so looking at the ARF Plus. Has the ARF Plus received the upgraded elevator setup same as the PNP HS?

I know what a ARF+ is.

Here are screen shots I took and placed text onto them from the video made by IntegrityRC on YouTube who did the great comparison of the older and updated version of the Freewing F/A-18C horizontal stabilator mount change. I have also linked his video below.

I chatted on MRC earlier but the tech couldn't answer the question. Maybe update the website to note the change. I could only find it on the PNP HS.
IMO this is overthinking things, especially as the revision has been out for quite some time.

Hi guys, just purchased the F18 and attempting to finish the build and setup. I have a few questions...
1. For the servo linkages, the manual is unclear about which to use. I used the shortest ones on the elevator like I saw in the build videos, even though the manual says 80mm. Which ones do I use for the rest of the control surfaces? Longer ones for ailerons or flaps ?
2. Where do you hook the UBEC into the receiver? I’ve heard to use the bind port, is this correct?
3. The stickers with the #’s are impossible to get off of the paper. What am I missing ?
thanks

Welcome.
Sometimes they just aren't right and you need to select the best for the spot. Make sure if its short you have enough threads into the ball link. If too long you may have to snip them shorter. I have built a lot of FW planes and have a good selection of various size spares.
Any open spot on the receiver, the bind port is a good spot.
They are water slides not peel and stick.

Thanks very much. Now my next issue ...
i have a admiral 10 ch receiver with everything plugged in except the ubec. The bind plug is in the bind port but when I give it power I am not getting the binding lights. I am hearing the beeping but it seems as if bind plug isn’t working. I am using a dx8e . Any ideas ?1 Photo

The UBEC powers the receiver and has to be plugged in. You are hearing the ESC which gets its power from the main battery directly. Since you are not using all the servo slots just plug the BEC in one of those.
When I do a build I often put an extension on the bind port so I can rebind when I stash the receiver in the back and it's hard to get to. On plane with BECs in the bind slot I'll make that a Y so the BEC is plugged in and I can also plug in the bind plug.
