Hey guys I have been reading this thread for some time now, and I just put a depost on an older Fly Eagle F-15 1/9. It was really hard deshion as I have read so many bad things about FEJ on this site, but I just love the Tiger skeem on the F15.

As with almost every modle out there there are usaly a small list of items one must pay extra close attion to when building an ARF.

Could you guys help me make a small check list of what times on this bird that will need a little more attion?

From my reading thus far:

1: most of the gear door cyclinders leak, Mod or replace.
2: The plastic hinges are brittle, replace.
3: Put some shims on the rear retracts to angle them out some to help with ground handleing.
4: Make sure the nose steering is tight
5: Do not over invate the air fill tires, some fell they just need replaced?
6: HS 7955 on the elvators.

What eles you got?

Any major structual issues?

Has anyone found a good tuch up paint that kinds of maches the bright tigher melt skeem?

THanks MIke
