Hey Ernesto, thums up on this great plane, and a succesful maiden!!!!! WOW!!!
I'm planning to maiden mine somewhere in March-April, as soon as the weather improves...
Could you share some info with us on weight, CG, throws ad most importantly, elevator neutral position.
How does it feel in the air?
Regards,
Wim

My hearty congratulation to you on a maiden very well executed. The model is a credit to you, fine attention to detail. I may also be interested in your light system. It didn't appear you were using full landing flap/slat, which is where I'm experiencing some difficulty with mine at the moment.

For all the interested in the lights system, there were actually 2 systems:
- One to control all the lights (position, landing, anti collision, after burner rings etc.) and receives signal from 3 channels of RX(Thr, Gea, Lights).
- The other one to control the 3 TFT displays and accelerometer (for attitude indicator) which is standalone.
Both share a single 2S 1000mAh LiPo battery.
Let me know which one you are interested in, and we can figure it out something.

Mick thanks for watch, i didnt use the full flaps/slats cause of the windy day aprox 30 km/hr so i decided to land with first position of flaps, aprox for first position 20º and full 40º to 45 º the cg its 25mm in front of spar.....

Although not by the same manufacturer, my FEJ F-14 was much more docile on landing with half flap... Same as take off configuration.

Besides it was very windy, you have to consider that it was flying at an altitude of 7500' and the air is much less dense, all airplanes have to come in hot here

My comment was for Mick who stated he was still sorting out the landing on his F-14. Not sure if he is at high altitude or not. Your flight looked great. Once again, congrats!

Really nice job with the electronics and lights. Amazing details you put in to those areas. Also nice video editing and steady filming.
Looks like you had a few issues to correct.
The engine rails were off.
And here it looks like there is a gap?
