Default RE: Flying Yellow Aircraft F-18 Twin

I am flying an F-18 Yellow Twin. It is now 7 years old. It was originally powered by 2 AMT Mercury engines. Flew nice but was heavy. Now it is powered by single olympus and this is the correct power. With practice it can be landed on 600 feet at sea level. Coming in with power and lots of flaps, I think it slows down beautifully. If you get it too nose heavy it will come in quicker. A little nose heavy is perfect(slightly nose down with yellows measurements empty fuel tanks with a 20 ounce header under the hatch in front of the front wing former.

Hope this helps,
Kevin
