Hi Folks,
I just bought a used Yellow Aircraft F-18 Single. I want to overhaul the plane before fly it, I dont like the way the avionics where installed so I will apreciate if you can post pictures of yours interior. Also if anyone have a copy of the building manual would be great.
Cheers,
Fernando

Here is what the instructions say.....
Ailerons...........5/8 Up and Down
Elevator.........High rate....1 1/4" Up and Down
Low rate.....3/4" Up and Down
Flaps..............Landing.....50 degrees
Take off.....20 degrees
Rudder...........3/4" Left and Right
CG is located at 12 1/2" forward of the Trailing Edge of the wing at the root. the elevator servo is the first one from right to left in the picture and the rudder servo is installed right behind.

Guys,
this is a Custom RC Crafters Nose strut. Unfortunately I dont have any contact info for them..........
and the mains are YA with BVM wheels and brakes. I have not flown it yet because I dont have a waiver yet but, I just finished my boomer and I am going to try and get it as soon as I find the time.

Anyone can give me some advice on wish servos to use in this plane, I would prefer Hitec because are easy to get in Chile.
Also I want to buy Jettech kevlar conformal tanks anyone has pictures of the main tank installed?
