Here are pics of my F15E at Topgun. Pic 2 is my bomb drop! Pic 3 the wife and I and award. Pic 4 is all the award winners that flew with Kingtech engines. Kingtech had 22 engines at TopGun and they where flawless!

Weather was perfect and they flying was great! Best time at TopGun I have ever had.

I dont have anymore pics but saw a ton on FB.

RCU didn't have anyone there covering it. I was there for Fly RC and I saw the crew from Model Airplane News and Frank usually has a guy or two there shooting for FTE.

I don't trust facebook, that's why I opted out from that site. Is there
any other way of seeing photos from Top Gun????

What don't you trust about Facebook? Old girlfriend finding you?? LOL you don't think RCU is data mining? Why do I see the exact 3D printer I have been researching on a window as I'm typing this? I would trust FB to protect my personal info long before this forum.

Photo handling is much better on FB which is why I use it. When I get done with my album/s I'll post a public link that can be viewed w/o a FB account.

Thnx eaglepilot2!

I went all out on it and still doing more. I am about to start doing flightmetal on the hot section.

Aircraft is powered by a K210 and when available will have a K250 installed.
I made the inlets functional. Hidden linkages on the rudders. Burner lights tucked in so you cant see them when its static. Modified airbrake to be more scale. Canopy function. Hidden hatch latches. Full lights. Lots of cockpit improvements including the WSO glare shield is scratch built because the stock one is really bad looking. I used a robot control board I bought for $19 that can control up to 6 servos and have the pilots heads move and the WSO has moving arms on about a 3 min loop.

I still need to build new missiles for it. The ones that come with it are not scale. Going to probably stick 4 detailed sidewinders on it when I get to that point.

I painted it to copy the F15E S/N 0245 that a 3 star general flies.
