Default RE: World Models Sky Raider Mach II

Dudes,

I used a Sky Raider II (actually 2 of them) as targets for an All Arms Air Defence practice. In their short and glorious lives I found the following:

1. The tank foams up like a champion. Was using OS 46 AX with an 11x7. The whole thing vibrated tremendously, probably cause I didn't balance the prop, but the thing was shot to peices, including the engine in the space of 1 hour, so it didn't really matter. I got around 7 mins flight at full noise before it started to suck air.

2. The covering comes off easily and needs a fair bit of tacking. I used CA. Short term model.

3. The tail also wanted to vibrate off. Lock-tite fixed that.

Sorry for reiterating what everyone else has said. On a side note what do you think of the OS 46 AX vs the LA or Thunder Tiger. The OS motor seems to be a real pig to tune the low end. I have an inverted 55 AX, and it is still causing me grief. Are they an air bleed system or fuel leaning system??
