Skymaster F-18C
Hey,
Just getting ready to do a build on a NIB older Gen1 I believe S/M F-18C ARF. It's been awhile since this kit came out but I found one untouched and I'm curious to hear from others who previously built this kit as to the mods that were needed, reinforcements, etc. If any at all, including pointers aswell if you have any good ones.
I will update the thread in the future with build pics but it's not going to be thrown together so the build might take awhile, I'm slow.. haha..

RE: Skymaster F-18C
Hi Justin,
Per Jeff T's recomendations, I reinforced the elevator pushrods by sliding CF tube over them and Hysoling.
Some have mentioned lengthening the nose strut to increase incidence for smoother rotations but I did not do this mod and the jet rotates very smoothly.
