The wheels are small. The nose is 1 1/2" and the mains are 2". The gear upgrade has nice balanced suspension on the mains and the nose has trailing link. Both do a good job of smoothing things out a bit. The 6S Pro definately has the power for sure. I haven't been able to maiden yet due to weather, but I feel very confident that it will be fine at my flying site. You know the conditions at your field best to determine if it will work for where you fly. It's really a great looking bird too.

[QUOTE=hotdogx;n68237]Kloverzero,
Tiger graphics look really good. How in the world did you get them all precisely positioned before sticking them down? I'd be worried that I might have to re-position and the paint might pull off.
From Callie's sheet, I cut each decal out right at the edge of the colored part. You then peel back about an inch of the image, and fold the bottom paper back. Keeping the exposed sticky raised, you position the entire decal how you want it, then stick the exposed half an inch. It is then a simple matter of pulling the backing off beneath the set decal, and smoothing it out as you go. Once you have all of the backing off, you remove the cover paper and it is good to go!!!!

The best way for me is to pull the backing completely off and dust the back of the decal, and airframe with windex. Then, when you place the decal on the plane, you can slide it around until you get it in the position you want. You can then squeegee the windex out with a yellow plastic spreader wrapped in a paper towel. works every time !

Well done on the Tiger Meet scheme!! I will say having mine in the ING Retro sheme with orange tail feathers and invasion stripes makes the plane easy to see and it looks good. I had no idea she could do that level of graphics for these planes. Maybe my dream of the Tigermeet Mirage 2000 isn't out of reach.

F-15 looks fantastic Mike! I was thinking if I ever grab another 90mm F-15 that I was going to do that same livery.
Well I joined the FW F-16C 70MM V-2 party. Fashionably late. Got her today and had her put together, CG'd, throws and taxi tested all on my lunch break. Dainty girl compared to my HSD 105MM F-16 but I like the less stressful size and weight just to go up the street to the school and have some fun with her. Going to maiden after work, hopefully everything goes as planned. Will be painting her up in the WA Arctic Aggressor livery, same as my HSD version.
