12S powered "F-100" SS, upgrade.
After 5 years flying this 4.5Kwatt donk, I found some nasty wear of my elevator stab axis creating flatter. Ripped it all out, and upgrading it with 4mm stainless fly bar, both servos also replaced for full size ones totally eliminating any free play, hopefully another 5 years of happy flying.

Another two days of action with this 12S powered "Hunky" after the recent service.
Static test checks after each service.
Different day, different fleet.
Ready for action off the cut strip.

It is very old (10+years) Thunder Tiger (Innovator) model I bought brand new in 2nd. hand shop for peanuts.
Runs immaculate after lot of initial mods to the battery set up.

Additional two side cheater openings in the fuse (60cm2) gave further improvement to my 12S Super Hunk, extra 1/2 a kilo thrust. Anything extra comes handy with a 5kg AUW model.
Fuse side cheaters added.
500 grams of extra thrust at lesser current draw.
Another simple improvement from JF Jet Studio.
