This is a pic of the pipe on the first test start of the same jet. Threw stainless shards clean out the back.
You be the judge.
Hi Mark
It's been while the first FEJ jet I got from you was the F-15c 1:9 1/2 Scale (Advanced) I had a few issues with it but fix them didn't cry about before I sold it. It had about 30 flights on it and it still going strong with about 200 flights on it. And the first thing that you told me to was look at the torque tube into the elevator so I did and fix it..
Like I've said before we are all test dummies for the manufactured
