Alex,
Don't forget to hang some white fuzzy dice from the wet compass to stay with the theme of things.
Man, what were they thinking when they came up with that paint scheme? Closest thing to a "low rider" in jet form.
Just in fun/kidding,

Hi Ali
I see on the Airworld web site they don't have the F104 in their price list, do you perhaps have a price list for the kit and accessories?
Regards
Neil

Hi Jan - they are using regualr smoke pumps like Jetcat and Sullivan, the secret is the smoke oil that is produced locally by 2 of the members of our club,
it's the best smoke oil I have ever seen. Unfortunately, they keep it - a secret!

Hi Ali
Checked your video with f104 in Florida Jets 2015 really nice and I like the Afterburner that you used
Is it possible to tell us Where we can get like this one ?
What is the ring size?

Hi, This afterburner is a super powerful one with many,many LED's.. I think something like 54 individual lights ! It was made by a man in Germany who as far as I am aware ( I was told by my builder ) No longer makes them.

Hi, now that Alex and Trond have given us a guide line as to what we need to look forward as we build, it would be great for everyone building the Airworld F-104 to post some build tips and pictures or start a new build thread. I should receive mine in about 8 weeks
Thanks to all

Hi all
I did finish the F 104 from Airworld 1:4 and maidened a couple of weeks ago. The wheels are very crushed with or without full tank. Is there a supplier for foam rubber wheels or istn't it an issue for you guys?
How did you handle the "flat tires"?
The Skymaster wheels are pneumatic with a valve...Any hints are highly welcome.
Thanks
Emanuel

Hello
I maiden my F104 a couple of weeks ago and here is the video. Not much support on this forum regarding the building as it seems, almost every owner is charging the build to others. Plane flew beautifully with just 3 clicks of trim and CG is spot on. Drag chute yet to be tested
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid...27940392758974
Emanuel, in fact Dubro tires are quite soft, but when you charge the suspension and move the plane forward, the camber angle will change and will get better. You can try 6" Robart tires that are a bit tougher
