The lower leg on the gear. Is a little weak ... Hollow cast... My friend has broken 2 of them.. to be fair he is new to taildrag warbirds.. but I saw one landing and was shocked that it broke

Hi Rex: great to see you online again. Haven’t seen any of your posts for a little while. These tanks, especially the larger 110 gallon models are a process. The only problem remaining is keeping them from getting damaged or destroyed upon landing on “Mars. “ (My wife and I joke how hard and tough the ground is here, with very little moisture.) I’m thinking I might have CraftCloud make a couple from Dan’s STLs like we did for the P-47 centerline drop tank. That thing is practically indestructible! If not that method, possibly getting a foam copy fabricated somehow. We’ll see…

cheers

Davegee,
I've been flying a lot and little shop time. Will get back on the Phantom this fall for Toledo 27. Kinda ran out of workshop steam last March. I plan to test fly my P-47 and FL P-38 in the next few weeks. I have them set up on my new Specktrum 8+ and have been flying a E-Flite Air Tractor 1.5m to get used to the new radio. Bought the Air Tractor July 4 and have 40 flights on it. I am keeping up on your progress weekly.
Hope FL introduces some new Warbirds 1.6m this year. Not real interested in the small one, hard to see for me.
A friend of mine is learning to fly EDF jets and in 4 weeks totaled out 2 and just orders another one. On his 3rd one in 4 weeks. Wish I had his money(he's still working for his hobby money)
Best Regards, Rex

Good deal. For your Phantom, would you be interested in printed missiles for the bottom of the fuselage? I had these on my F-4 for many years until it crashed years ago. I can send you a pic PM if you are interested. They fit into the grooves on the bottom of the fuse with magnets. If you don't want them that's fine. But I can send them to you for free if you do. Otherwise, I'll probably just throw them out. They look good, I think. I think one is missing a small fin but that would be easy to replace with styrene plastic cut to fit.

Cheers
