Eric, neither of the above. Get a IQ Hammer 220 (see http://www.vogelsang-aeroscale.com/hammer220.html) and save weight and more than $1,000.

Anton,
I just received my F-16 in Netherlands Scheme and think it's awesome! Great job! I had a few issues and Danny at Chief has been helping me through them but found this issue today as I began working on my full cells: I have two of the same side tanks! See the pic below!

How quickly can you send me another tank? I am wanting to get this bird done!

And, when you do, can you please send the touch up paint for the Chute pod with it?

Thanks,
Rex

Bluelevel, how do you like the 220? Is it running good? I noticed Hammer does not use CNC compressor blades on there engines.

Anton, I understand how to connect the lights to the ECU however how do you connect the radio (Gear channel) to the ECU and how do the function switches need to be set. I connected the gear channel into the position marked gear on the ecu (did not connect the Aux) switched the gear but the landing lights did not come on or off, they just stayed on. I reversed the channel and no change. I even tried every position on the function switches but no change. I know we spoke about JY Modem producing an "English" manual but I do not know if this was done. can yu please help as I have three F-16's that I need to connect the lights now.

Hi, flymanjg

First, set up a manual switch between the battery and the ECU, then plus a mini servo to landing gear channel to control the switch.,

Has anyone set up the F-66 on a DX-18 Radio, using Elevons? There is a pre-mix setup for the Flaperons, but just wondering how someone might have set up the Elevon mix too. I am running the slats on a slider.
