Well, we finally finished the F-86 construction and we used the small Futaba PCM receiver with the case removed; it was the most stable one tested. Flew it the first time this afternoon. Very nice plane; very smooth performer; I didn't notice any radio hits. Not as fast as I thought; G2 got me thinking everything "jet" goes a million mph; it's fast, but you don't need to stay way ahead of it. We didn't have the decals on so that was the tough part: Is it right side up or upside down; coming at me or flying away; this part required a bit of concentration. Some detailing should help this.

Here are some pics of our baby. The only modification (in first picture) to the design was securing the elevator push rod tubes to the turbine support frame; without this epoxy the elevator control was a bit sloppy. The last picture shows the electronics in the cabin. Aft are the elevator servo (HS-55) and the ESC (CC25); the 3S1P Lipo is in positioned to set the CG just right; and forward is the PCM receiver. The antenna exits through a small hole in the bottom of the fuse and is taped along the bottom. Solid, glitch free performance.
