ORIGINAL: srt10

will a 90mm unit fit in this plane?
thank's
It would take a lot of work and you would lose the speed brakes, but I think it could be done.

Those cockpit details that you did How mch for one of those? Im looking to do the same thing, but you have it down to a science!!! Let me know!
Sorry, but currently I am only selling them to local club members, if that changes I'll let you know.

I installed a ChangeSun 70mm 10 blade fan and a Turnigy L2855-2800 EDF Outrunner (630w) with a TURNIGY Plush 80A w/ UBEC Speed Controller. Yesterday we were doing a formation take off and I was second behind a stock F-86, bad idea! Even after waiting for the other guy to get ahead of me, when I hit the throttle I was on him so fast, I had to pull up early to fly over him! All is fine though, so this new set up provides lots of power and is much quieter and jet sounding.

On a more somber note, I crashed one of my F-86's, my new bird with a completely redone paint job! I had a stock motor in a new Changesun fan just to see how it would perform, it was good but not as quiet as the Turnigy L2855. So I wanted to do a motor swap after the test flights, the test flights by the way went great. The next day when I took off the plane went crazy and I lost the battle to keep it in the air, totally destroyed! The weight difference in the motors was significant enough as I had the CG at the rear most position, so this is a lesson for me to always check the CG after any mods. Here are some pictures of "Mike's Bird" before disaster! [] (along with some other pictures from Thanksgiving day!)
