I think I’m going to use the 5 in 1 unit all in one module from air power or the new hsd model , I have a air problem with my other rafale but this was the retracts seals , they new + I’m using the silicone rc cars shocks thicker oil to condition the seals , this usually works great and prevent the seals to dry out.

On my white one I have remote drop but never have a chance to fly with the tanks and try to drop them, this one will have them on the sold skew type hold or maybe just the center drop tank like Jim on his top gun yellow rafale, maybe they need to have a nose weight and drop them with a lots of positive G ?

Looking good Sebastian, I'm paying attention to your rebuild since I will start my own rebuild of a Fei-Bao F-15 1/9 in Feb, I'm also getting a good deal on the F-15 but, it needs a bit more work but not impossible to get her back to flying status.

Everything is possible just make it light and step by step do not rush , this will be a great flying f-15 , for the wings use thin balsa to shape and connect the elements and cover it with finding fiberglass and epoxy do not use styrofoam because it has tendency to absorb more epoxy than needed , this will make the model heavier, the fuselage use tape from the top and lay the fiberglass or carbon from inside very small pieces don’t try to fit big elements of carbon or fiberglass it’s very hard to control them and wipe the excess of epoxy, best to use the plumber small soldering brushes they like $5 for like 25 of those at Home Depot

Good to know, thanks!
I will get a used in good conditions set of wings, that will take care of the wings, the only airfoil I will have to worry is the Right vertical stab, I'm planning to post a wanted add on RCG for a used one, may get lucky, I will only have to warry about the fuse.

So I have some time and have the rudder to work, need to change some geometry with those push rots and some little stuff to make it work good, Do you guys know if those servos are good? Most of the time I was using something like 8711 8611 and 8411 but those are something new to me.

Looking good. Am I the only one not using the supplied mounting grommets with servos? I used them all my life on prop planes, when I started flying jets I was advised not to use them. I was told there is little to no vibration and it is best to forgo them to avoid slop. Thoughts?

wow. what happened to this plane.
i have a brand new bvm rafale never flown professional built. internals slightly gutted to upgrade but never got around to it. time flies literally. long story but sitting in my basement.
