Default RE: Hobby King 70mm F-86 and Banana Hobby Mig15

Flight reports, the Mig15 from Banana Hobby does not perform like it does in the Banana Hobby video, it is very slow on the stock set up. Lucky for me I have a long runway that is very smooth, it rolled a long way before lifting off with full up elevator! It will need a new fan and thrust tube to get some performance.

The F-86 flies very scale like and the performance is decent, luckily it already has a thrust tube installed and overall a much cleaner ducting than the Mig.

Everyone compliments my F-86, says it looks very realistic. For weathering I used black mixed with Model Masters aluminum and an airbrush, I went over the panel lines and some of the panels, in the air as you can see even with the bad lighting, it looks great. I also painted all of the wires and servo's aluminum.
