This is my Strike eagle from EAM. It's based on the F-15 kit, but I added conformal tanks and such. Also going with retracts. Power is x2 Kontronik 480-33's on Tanic 2500 cell 4s2p and castle Phoenix 80's. This thing is pretty light and power is abundant so I'm scaling it up prety well. It's also going tobe my Eagle tree data aquistion tester. I drilled out the gun port for the pitot tube. Gear doors are not totally scale but i didnt want the added hassle and complexity of sequencers.

Just another pic showing the functional scoops and meshed inlets. I'm going to experiment with silkspan or tissue to make some small diverters or ducting to aid in cooling the cells. The nose is removable for access to the air tank for the retracts.

this pic shows the tanks mounted and the mechanically sequenced front doors. not scale but works. I put a cf rod on the main to act as a strut, and to allow the leg to trun for steeering without turning the rod so the door arm can stay straight.
