Also, I am curious, how many people are still flying their Jackals. The thread has died over the last few months with Hanger 9 discontinuing it. I think hopes are fading of a Jackal 2 but who know. Horizon might surprise us, or maybe someone else will step in with a great prop jet. Not everyone wants an EDF!!!
I love mine and flying it crazy fast but after the day I lost a cleves on one of my elevators and coused crazy flutter to mess up my rudder. I was able to save and rebuild it but there so much slop in my rudder I cant use it anymore have it taped up.
Kind of takes the fun out of it, and I don't want to spend the $$ on a new body, and I cant figure out how to get rid of the slop of the rudder. And yes I already had the rudder servo moved to the rear as Im useing electric.
