Here is my new jet from Skymaster F-15c.
more pictures will come as i start to assemble the jet.

Congratulations Morten.

What engine are you going to power it with?

Hi Stig simjet 2300 it works

Well, as you know, I ordered a SM F-15 from Al's Hobbies as well. Maybe Santa will put it under the tree

I will power mine by the Simjet Sonic 120 which is practically the same engine as yours, only homebuild.

Great looking Kit there buddy.

I too am hoping Father Xmas leaves me my F15.


well it was delivered the other day, but the wife won,t let me play with it until Xmas day.

A large hole in the box, but the contents survived!!!

cant wait to get it all out!!!

Hej there looks like my box but the kit survied[8D]

Anybody could tell me if sm struts for F-15 is to soft to use on grassfield.

Should be no problem. We have a lot of customers use on grassfield.

Morten.

I'm using the same struts on my Skymaster F-22 and they hold up pretty good. Even on the rought grass field at our club. But I do recommend that you use soft wheels (I use Robarts) as they will take some of the beating from the rough field.

I received my SM F-15 ARF from Al's Hobbies today. It looks really good, and I'm sure I can finish the model in time before traveling to Florida Jets in March. All the parts go together real well. Only thing I could find is a slight mis-alignment of the canopy hook, but that can easily be fixed.

would like to add scale light on my F-15 nav light roatning beacon.
anybody could tell where to place it.

Some pictures of the F-15 Bicentennial color scheme for your reference

I added the decals to my SM F-15 yesterday. Here are some pics.

Hello you F15 Owners

I have just taken delivery of the SM Tailpipe for the F15. And I noticed that the Bellmouth to the pipe is loose!!

Should this be spot welded in place or do I need to do something else to it??

I would have thought that this should not be loose.


Could someone shed some light on this.

Many thanks

Hello Peter.

I drilled 3 holes though the belmouth and pipe, and tightened the belmouth with some 2,5 mm screws. I let some cyano run around the edge.

Hi Peter.

As Stig said, 2 or 3 screws are required to attach the bellmouth

I've used 1/8 " aluminum pop-rivets , don't have to worry about the screws coming loose .

I did some basic work on the cockpit today.

#1: The parts supplied for the cockpit.
#2: The two seats were cut to lean a little backwards. The rear seat needs to be cut approx. 10 mm (3/8") shorter than the front seat in order not to go against the hood. I scratched off the paint of the cockpit floor where the seats were to be glued on.
#3: I mixed up some 30 minute epoxy with some carbon to make a black glue that will be less visible.
#4: I glued the seats to the cockpit floor using some scrap balsa as aid for the seats. The balsa was held on to the seats with dobble sided tape. The whole setup was taped down while the epoxy was curing.
#5,6&7: The finished cockpit ready for some scale detailing. I might just fit a pilot dummy to the front seat, and leave it at that. After all, it's an ARF..

I don't know what happend with those pictures, but I uploaded them the way I usually do.......
Sorry if the pictures are a bit "shaken". I'm not tellin' why[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

i just wanted to share some photos on my SM F15 [8D]

Great looking F15. Can you tell me what you highlighted the panel lines with. I like the idea of doing that, but wasnt sure what to use.

Regards

Morten and I finally got the servoes for our SM F-15's. On the rudder and anileron we're using the Graupner/JR DS3328 with 4 kg torque and 9 kg holding power. On the flaps we're trying the new DS8081 with carbon gear, 5,5 kg torque and 12 kg holding power.[8D]

A few pictures

Hey, hey. Hold it now, Morten. Are you going to maiden your F-15 before me????

I have installed the servoes and the pipe is the one from my F-22, that has been retrofittet into the F-15. Not a perfect match, but it is OK.
