Aussie, Thanks! I just thought of the AB lights last week myself. I think it is a great idea.
I am just now working on CG. I think I am close now but need to move battery as far forward as possible and also add fuel to the air trap tank and maybe possibly some ballast in the nose. It may take me another week for the CG since the Eurofighter is going to be "highjacked" by assembly of patio furniture and gazebo this week! Arrgh!
My plan would be to get the jet flying and then I can add some more bling like the Callie graphics and the AB lights.
Thanks, Gary
On my FW F22, I hollowed out the nose cone and lined with light ply. This would fit two 2000ma 2s LiPo batteries and illiminated the lead in the nose, so as to balance. I'm very happy with the RC Castle centreburner light set, especially the cost compared to some others out there, just remove the heavy aluminium mount from them, that attaches the light to the EDF motor. Most of my pipes, I make as single wall and simply line the foam with aluminium tape. The fuselage seems to run very cool, but whether this is lighter than double wall pipes, is certainly debatable.
