I couldn't wait any longer for the main gear upgrade struts to get back into stock before I unveiled the only F7F-2D drone controller Navy livery.(as far as I know shown on the Squawk or RCG)

Beeg and Charlie, those are some great schemes! I need to browse back a few more pages to see what else I missed from the other guys here but well done on your custom paint schemes. Like our Freewing 80mm MiG-21, I'm happy to see the F7F in so many different colors schemes and configurations.

[Beeg]

Excellent work Charlie!

Nice Charlie! Looking forward to seeing this one in the air. Definately will be easier to see.

That's very cool!

Hi, was checking the specs for this plane and there is not much information given as to the ESC units that come with this plane. Do the stock ESC's have a BEC built in to them, if so what is the rating? If not does this plane need a BEC unit, if so what are most people using.

With all the servo units on this plane would not want to risk any brown outs/overloads that might cause the receiver to malfunction.

[rifleman_btx]

They are 60 amp with a 5 amp BEC on board. Capable of 3-6s per the sticker. However with the motors on board 4s is what the system is rated stock with the given motors and props. This is what I seen inside the p38, this uses the same power system. https://www.motionrc.com/products/fr...-brushless-esc
