Default RE: Got my F-20 yesterday

That will be fast. It flies great and tracks very well with the CG in the right place. I shifted the CG several times to get it to not drop the nose in turns. The rudder is not a big factor now. With the 46AX, I was just barely keeping up with a local Predator that has a 46AX as well. It is pretty darn fast! I am putting together a semi-review and I will post it soon. Be sure to reinforce the bulkhead that the nose gear is attached to. This area is weak and will start cracking. Mine did the first day, and I fly off of a paved runway. It is weak due to the large gap for the nose wheel steering arm. I just threw some 30 min epoxy and alcohol in a cup and dipped a couple sheets of fiberglass in there and reinforced it that way. This is a definate need to if you are flying off grass. Anyway, enjoy . Oh, I also put some missles on the wing tips (more drag!), but they sure look cool on those low fly-bys! Top-flight armament package. Good luck!
