Wow, that was fast Bob.
1 month to build that thing without the extra work package. Impressive...
We'll sure catch up on these days. I am planning to get to Scobee to put some flights together with my eScorpion on Saturday, the 22nd. Let me know what is your plan...

Bob how is your F-18? Jack Holland is building some replacement F-18 1/6 stabs for me, he is almost done with them, I think I have done as much as I can on this f-18 reinforced everything I can think off. Now about the only thing that could fail is the darn wings... can't really fix those.

less than two years old, still under warranty and got charged every time it got sent in.
also the nose gear motor broke on me once at Waco Jet Rally. thankfully it broke on the ground.
If u come up with some thing that works on this large gear, please let me know.
Thanks
Robert

crap thats what I thought, I'm looking at 1 of 2 things:
1) New electron er-50evo (but these need to be reversible or they need to have a reverse version
2) Airtech retracts, they have large bore 4mm retracts, very tuff, shockwave jet uses them
3) Dreamworks retracts, they have some electric Hercules we'll see if they work.
I can tell you my experiment with hydraulics failed miserably, Not sure going on with the stock retracts but it BARELY has enough umph to lift 1 gear much less the other, the pump just stalls out and starts cooking itself. This is the UMS conversion sold by hobby king. ALSO the main valve leaks so that is pretty much a write off.
1 good thing the stock retracts themselves don't leak.

Hey Guys,
The weather looks great for Friday, Saturday, & Sunday.
Unfortunately we have a 50% chance of rain on Thursday. But Im sure a few of us will be there anyway.
If u come out early u are welcome too. Just please call ahead of time so we can leave the gate open.
Drive safely, see ya soon.
Thanks
