Default Skymaster 1/6 F18F - anyone?

Anyone have one?
Would love to see pics of the inside?
Running two tail mounted turbines,

The video of the plane looks pretty nice compared to how my 1/8 scale Black Aces VF 41 F18F flew.


Thanks
Dave

They had one at Florida jets on display not sure whos it is but looked great. I am hoping to build a D model when they come out with it and do the usual build thread.

Thanks Anton,

1. Does the leading edge move?

2. Any pictures of the spar and mounts?

3. Have you flown the bypass single version?

4. Any pictures of flap hinging?

5. Jetcat 140rxi - are they too heavy to fit in the tail?

would love one in VF 41 black aces....

Hi, Dave

here are my answers,

1. Does the leading edge move? ..............yes, same like the F-16 1/5 leading edge construction..,


2. Any pictures of the spar and mounts? ..............yes



3. Have you flown the bypass single version? ................my F18E will install by pass , I will show the pictures as soon,




4. Any pictures of flap hinging?.............. yes





5. Jetcat 140rxi - are they too heavy to fit in the tail? .....................too big diameter, the P-140RXi need install to the center position with the tailpipes.,


would love one in VF 41 black aces.... nice color scheme, mine was VFA-115,

Anton will it be possible to fly this jet with all three external fuel tanks? If so will it require larger turbines that use the steel pipe or can use the the smaller turbines in the tail without. That was the selling point for me on the f-14, the ability to fly the jet with full up ordnance and tanks. I am planning to build one over the winter maybe and do the same scheme on it as my f-14

in the fuse now 3 tanks and over 8 L., how many fuel do you need ? if add 3 out side ordinance tanks that almost 30L, are you sure ? or maybe add out side center tank only ? 12L enough ?

Sorry I think I confused you not talking about actual fuel tanks, I just want to fly the jet with all the external stores on it, missiles and drop tanks
