Default Flying my JetLegend F-18 Viedo

Here is a video of my F-18. The Video is a little fussy from time to time. This was my wife's first time trying to video tape me flying.

It weighs in at 34lbs dry, has all JR equipment, Powered by a KingTech K-170, Tams Smoke system.

Awesome! That 170 really pushes the bug around!

Troy,

Nice flight! Loved it.
Give props to the wife on the video. I think she did a great job. So many times it seems people forget there is a zoom button on the camera after they hit record. She did quite well there. Some of the video in the latter part of the 3 minute mark looked real!
Thanks for sharing. I wish more threads started this way.
Could you post a couple photos of the internal layout?

Mike

I actuall have 5 tanks. 2 Saddle tanks right in front of the Turbine on both sides. Then then main tank just in front of the intake laying flat. The other 2 are Sullvian 32 oz Smoke tanks 1 is sitting on top of the Main tank and the other is just in front of it.
