Status: offline 		Hi vicman, I have no fly may plane yet, I hope to fly it this weekend becouse I´m waiting for a LiPo bateries for it.
I´m using a 5.5x4.5 pusher prop and graupner 480bb speed engine with 3S2C LiPo kokam 1500.
If this configuration it´s not good, I´m going to use a brushless.
The next week I told you something about the fly.

Status: offline 		Is there any reason you are not using the drive systems recomended? Not picking, just curious.

All I need to do now is add the verticals and paint on mine. I was doing a little cockpit detail last night and may be able to give it a toss this weekend.

Antonio if yours flys as good as the previous ones I built it will become your new favorite model.

Status: offline 		Hi Antonio,

Thanks! I think yours looks great! I really like your color scheme. If I have problems with orientation I might repaint my F18 with a pattern similar to yours. I am not that great of a pilot so sometimes I still get disoriented and don't know if I am right side up or upside down! Let us know when you fly your plane. My PC motherboard died Monday so I got even more behind having to fix that. The replacement motherboard was also dead so Tuesday I had to get another replacement and wasted even more time. It is torture having this plane sitting next to me ready to fly and no time right now to get out to the park.

Status: offline 		Hi PilotSmith and vicman.
PilotSmith I think yours its a very very nice paint scheme, and like vicman says, don´t worry if you can´t fly it now, It´s more important that the plane flies good.
Monday I will give you the information about the plane fly.
Vicman, tell us all about f-20 fly. Could you send us some photo about this plane?

Status: offline 		I was driving near skid row today and noticed a bunch of small shops with cheap import toys. One place had a bunch of RC stuff. I picked this up for the kids in hopes they will lose interest in it after a while and I can recruite it into my fleet. Looks to have enough room to put a real rc radio and couple of small servos inside for a small pusher jet. For $35 it came with a cheap radio with on/off throttle and right/left control via changing the speed of the rear motors, NiMh battery and charger. Wingspan is about 23". Kids are not ready for real RC flying yet so something like this can keep them entertained while I have fun with my planes. I wonder how they can sell this for $35 when it would probably cost me more than that just to ship the box to China???

Status: offline 		Aww c'mon! This from a guy who has stroked a cheap dfan foamy to death for at least a month and a half and still hasn't flown it yet!! I have built two planes and a rocket in that time. Quit thinking an start flying already!

You know of course I am teasing in all good fun . I do think some of those little Fiaggio motors would make that thing scoot in three languages!
