Here's Rob Lynch doing his thing out at Top Gun last May. This is probably one of the best flying F-18s I think I've seen!

Double check that the main gear mounting screws haven't been over tightened. IF you get a bias into those bushings, it can foul up the retraction of the main gear. So tighten and cycle the gear until...

txshan130,

Here's a picture of my turbine install from when I had an MW-44 in my airplane. It's a pretty simple install. A few years ago, I converted the airplane over to 90mm EDF.

If I remember right, the earlier Vigi's had the curved outer inlet edge while on later ones it was straight. In both cases, the inboard edge curved to the bottom of the inlet which is definitely...

Beautiful work George! I like what you did with the linear actuators. Looks like the airplane is moving right along!

George,

That is absolutely gorgeous! That's a really interesting method you used to make a one off fuse. Certainly is a whole lot quicker than making a full up mold. I look forward to seeing...

14.5 lb is what mine weighs with the electric setup. Interestingly, it weighed basically the same fully fueled when it had the turbine in it also (it was around 12.5 lb dry I think).

George,

I think you will be fine using tailerons only. That is certainly the simplest option and I've flown a couple F-14s that way. Having the flaperons is nice to have, but the airplane does...

Mike,

The airplane will need to carry some up elevator for trim, so use the centering that has the TE more or less even to the aft elevator fairing there. Regarding controls, the manual should be...

Looking good! If possible, I would recommend putting a softer spring in the nose strut. The nose fully compresses on my airplane which helps. Also, you can shorten the length of the strut too by...

ERH,

Yes, I'm using the JetFan90 on 12s. It's running a Neu 1415/1.5y motor with 12s 30c 5800s. AUW is about 14.5 lbs which is about what it weighed fully fueled with the turbine in it. I think...
