Redesign/build FEJ
 
Starting a thread for redesigning and rebuilding FEJ F-14 1/7 F-18 1/7 F-16 1/7. This is for everyone who has FEJ models and wants to have them in the air flying safe and fun. Let's keep it to constructive constructing posts only :)

stabs. The old F-18F ( no HC) has been flown with no problems and has solid plywood bulkheads for the bolts so its MAC location should be ok. Does anyone have that calculation?

Please do the more the better .. The latest F-18F 1/6 that had the flutter we can learn a lot from also.

There you go. Moving the linkage closer to the center.

Cannot move the linkages in toward the servo anymore because of clearances with the pipes so I can make an arm extension here.

My next jet will not be FEJ. None of the other dozens of other jets I've owned have ever failed.

Jim is your f-18 the 1/6 or the 1/7?

EDFJim 05-24-2013 12:38 PM

RE: Redesign/build FEJ
 
F-18 is 1/7th

RE: Redesign/build FEJ
 
Since this has been brought to attention, I have a 1/8th F-16 I am trying to get finished up. Does anyone have a C.G. location or any mods that it may need ?

As far as I can tell, only the gear are having issues due to undersized air rams.

I Have the 1/7th F-16 HC. Should I do something to strengthen the stab itself?

Jim,

This is from Oli's excellent article published in the April/May issue of RCJI. It WORKS!
