RE: E-Flite F-4 Phantom P-20 turbine conversion

This F-4 actually is very easy to convert to turbine.
I break out the former to fit in 2 sullivance 10 oz tanks.
Making new former to mount the turbine and pipe.
I move the elevator and rudder servo to the rear. The stock are on the fiberglass ducting. That got to goes out.
It is very tight in the office. But it can be done and still kept right on C.G.
BTW, I flew at 6.25" and it take off really nice and much easy to slow her down to land.
Now I really enjoy flying it.
Can't wait to fly her again next weeken with all the upgrade undercarriage.
