Default RE: Xtreme jets RAFALE project and paint

My Rafale has been ready to go for a few weeks, but I discovered a problem with my ECU/fuel valve. They are both at JetCat right now being looked at. I got the old nose section repaired, but I elected to install the brand new one from X-tremejets. I was a little upset that the new nose section came without some of the basic parts such as a front windshield and brass tubing. Anton did send me some touch-up paint and that has been useful.

I found some smaller nose strut wheels that help make the gear look more scale. I too had to over drill the holes for the elevon hinges. You need the play to get the elevons to fit up against the fuselage. That's pretty cool what you’re doing with the fuel probe. Hopefully I'll get mine back in the air in a few weeks.
