Dave,

I'd have to physically measure again... but I started at your recommendation found in this thread somewhere. As it sits now, the model flies almost perfectly neutral. Just enough elevator input when inverted to say it needs some.

Cheers

Colin.

OK, proof is in the flying. It holds knife edge without the need for full power/high speed?

Obviously it depends on the weight of those battteries.

Another user on Carf user group on facebook has similar issues as mine with the nose strut length.
It is clearly considerably longer than JP strut.

My nose strut is about 1.5cm longer than another UF electron user on the group.
All measured with the diagrams provided by electron.

My question is,
Why hasn't Carf sent the right dimensions electron that are as long as JP gears?
If there is an issue why they haven't corrected?
At this price point i expect the gears to be drop fit.

Just really confused right now

It doesn't need to be going full song to hold knife edge, but it does require a bit of speed. It seems to be happy at about 3/4 throttle with an older Kingtech 140G2.

I’ve not had a problem with Electron gear and UF installations. But this Forum is not going to answer your question, contact your CARF rep, this is the quickest way to deal with any query

Just make the hole slightly bigger so it fits. It doesn’t take much.. had to do the same on mine and it hasn’t caused any issues.

Unless one has a name in the pilot world , carf are only interested in your money - not after sales service
As for carf sales reps .......dont even get me started on that BS

My latest CARF model was shipped without the holes cut for the main gear wheels in the fuselage. It was covered in quality control stickers and I wonder how such a large visable mistake was missed. No big deal for me, I did the cuts and may have done it better.
When I built my flash, with elecrons, I needed to extend the opening to make the nose gear fit. The longer leg will make the airplane have a higher angle of attack for takeoff and this may be an avanatage.

Did you also have to enlarge the fuselage tray wheel opening for the wheel to sit flush?

Love these jets. Even with 2x Bolts in the hangar, there is something about the UF that for the time being makes this the top sport jet ever for me . Just unbreakable 😁😜 , whip and yank it around fun 😀

wicked flying, scary tight turns and love the pilot figure,
i follow you on ig..
Cheers man!

Thx 🤘

The brake pin on the electron gears is quite close to the wheel well wall, i guess max i am able to get is 1 - 1.5mm leverage. Did anyone here with electron gears had to modify the underside of the wheel well so that the pin does not hit the skin?

I always pack the gear so that the wheel/tyre is flush with the lower surface…least amount of drag.
that gives clearance

Wow, that is surprising to me. I always thought the Bolt would be better than my Flash !!! It's great to hear from someone who has both.

What is the best way to stick the rudder linkage fairing,
double side tape or something else?

I use PT-560 canopy glue

in my flash (evo version) i am running a K142G4+ and i gott 448km/h(278mp/h),my engine is 24mm from the start of the straight pipe.i am thinking of getting it a litle bit closer cause when i use smoke,some oil is going inside the model.any thoughts about it??my nozle is deep in the pipe though.

whatever you’re using to calculate your speed is probably off. No way you’re getting that on an Evo with a 142 unless you’ve installed the full bypass. Even then the most I’ve seen with a 140 on a no -Evo is 247mph

i am using PB gps sensor.i have testet it with 2 other hand held speed sensors and they are in the range of +- 5kph between them with the same amount of satelites registered at.(10 average).i was in a slight dive and had around2-2.5 bf tail wind.

Leave the turbine and move the smoke pipe to 30mm behind tail cone.

Speed…nope!

i will test that also,and if doent work.....i will make the tank for fuel.......and remome the smoke

Not able to find appropriate metal servo arm of the correct length for my flap servo. I did order shorter Kst servo arms but the holes are m3 which are too big for the supplied metal clevis,
Is it ok if i use ball links on both sides on the flap linkage (on the flap side and on the servo arm side) Is there any negative of such linkage that you can think of?

thanks

I used a ball link on both sized with no problems... you might need to open the hole the pushrod goes through but I think you need to do that anyway.
