Well we took the F-15 out and maidened it, not so good. I guess my idea of EDF was just not as good as I thought or I must have something wrong with the thrust because it just won't maintain flight, it will launch and look good for about 50 ft the slowly decend untill it lands. Now on the bright side it handles very well, at least for short distances , anyway I'm gonna remove the EDF motors and out a motor prop set up on the tail end as it was designed, I made 16 attempts and the farthest it flew was about 60 yds. Then I put the E-Starter up, I was using the 10.8 batt I have and man did it scream, ended in disater though, I'm having proba with it cutting out and it appears when it does that I'm loosing all controls, I think my ESC is failing, anyway I managed to get some great flying in and was coming around and it just suddenly decided it wanted to land on it's nose. crushed the cowl and broke the motor loose, haven't taken it apart yet to see how bad but this is the perfect excuse to install the new motor and ESC I have for it well got to see how bad it is now Later dudes
