my f86 has been flown 100's of times,,,probably my first or second edf...landed the other day and one flap would not come up it just shuddered and was stuck like it had a broken tooth on the servo gear,, ordered two digital metal gear servos from motion and installed them today ,, anyone know where I can pick up some silver tape to cover up the wires? hardest part of the repair is putting the wing wires into the fuse plugs,,,why did they make them so damn short lol

Need some info from all you tec wizards .I have a F86 with the 3530-1680 outrunner 80mm motor installed (the basic model ) I also have or did have a FMS hawk with a 3270-1930 inrunner 80mm motor .Alas the FMS Hawk is no more .So I thought I would install the Fms Hawk's inrunner motor into the F86 and take out the F86 outrunner motor .Question if I install the FMS 3270-1930 inrunner into my F86 Sabre and take out the outrunner motor will I get more power from installing the FMS Hawk inrunner motor into my F86 ?

If you have a watt meter you can find out yourself.
I threw in the FMS 80mm 12 blade 3280-2100kv in my F-86 and was rewarded with more power and longer flight times.
So if you are using the FMS inrunner and the FMS fan, I think you can expect similar results. If you are adapting the FMS inrunner to the FW fan, your guess as good as mine...

On the flap servos, they are not the best... I have had them go bad every single time any sort of impact occurs. Like gear coming unglued... they’re 9g and plastic geared, meant to move the largest flight surface on the plane. I finally just used spares metal gear 17g servos from cannibalized 90mm Jets. I also swapped all control linkage to the ball link connections to eliminate the slop that had developed over time.

You can use an iron, preferably a monocote iron, on LOW HEAT to get rid of all the imperfections. It covers holes, servo lead channels, and about anything you want covered. When the iron heats it the vinyl tightens up like a drum. You can paint it however you like afterwards...

Here is some examples of what I was trying to explain... the first pic is of a F-15 I am almost done refinishing. The second pic is a wrecked wing, but it shows the open areas that are easily covered.
Then that's my F-22 I crashed flying when it was too dark. The only park I had to buy was nose gear doors. One of them broke. The entire top of the stab now is covered in vinyl. Also, you can see where I repaired the forward section of the bottom that elevator. It's much stronger than before...
Here is the crash

Hey guys.... I had the first version of the F-86 and just got the new HP version.... anyone noticed any change of battery placement to get CG correct. I’m using the Admiral 4000s 60C and seem to be tail heavy, wondering if I’m measuring wrong because the first version you had to slam the battery back???
