Official Nexa 2108mm P-38 Lightning ARF Thread

I press 1 which takes me to the beginning then just scroll. The time stamp is Dec 16, 2020 at 01:20 pm. I looked at it again just now and you might have been referring to an e-flite model? But then later in the thread you refer to the dualsky 470 motors. I may have just read it wrong and gotten confused. If so my bad and my apologies. Thank you again for your help.

I’ll go with the two Turnigy 4250/500Kv motors, 16x10x3 props, 100A ES’s, two 14.8v/5000Mah batteries in parallel for both motors, separate battery for rcvr servos and landing gear.

For the record Monster 3056 and rcpilot54 are the same person. Guess I had this saved to the laptop and the other was on the iphone. Technology...... don't ya just love it?

My apologies for the confusion.

You won't be disappointed. Good luck and keep us posted!

Good afternoon to all. I’m building the Nexa P-38 lightning. Had trouble with the flaps so I changed them to split flaps each run by a mini servo. They work great. My problem now is the main landing gear doors. Saw where two mini servos were used for each door. How did that work out? Did anyone get them both working with one servo only? Also did anyone actually try the spring and string method the instructions show? Need help.

Finally got the main landing gear doors to work. Will work on the nose gear door. This kit is very poorly fitted. Huge gaps in the landing gear doors and main plastic body parts that I will have to heat and sale because is the poor fit. I expected better craftsmanship for $1327 price tag. I was wrong. I would never buy this model again. Much time spent un-building and re-building to get things to at least work. Hope it flies well.

Yeah the build had its warts for sure. But I assure you its worth it. She flies phenomenally.
