Default RE: Skymaster F4 Phanthom

I have only one flight on mine.The CG was set at 245 mm and it was nose heavy, requiring a bunch of up trim to fly level. I'll try 255 mm next. Other than that it flew very well and has more than enough power with a 140. The recommended throws are about right.

Here's the maiden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua2kwFcf6R4 If you check out the X-treme Jets website there is another flight video besides the prototype.

Read Maj. Woody's build thread in this forum if you haven't already. I didn't do all the modes he did but did find it necessay to reroute the airlines and servo wires in the wing so that they enter the fuse along side the turbine. I also used button valves for the gear doors to simplify the routing, mounted a single 8711 servo for the elevator, and modified the fuel tanks.
