RE: Skymaster F-86 1/5 first products
Old thread but I want a big F-86. And this seems to fit the bill.
After re-reading all 11 pages....
1. Morne says the plane flies great with no problems.
2. Other pilots say this sabre flies too nose heavy and they move the CG back.
3. Anton confirms the nose heavy tendancies and offers a new fuel tank configuration.
4. Other pilots shim the nose up to give it a more positive AOA.
And then.....
Nothing.
Sabres are sweet hearts and I've had a couple of them. I want one EXACTLEY this size and with all the scale goodies this one has.
I also think the drop tanks droop a little too much in the front vs the full scale counterpart. This is an easy fix, however.
Did anyone figure out the CG of this thing? Anyone describe it as a sweetheart like other sabres?
