Here are some pics of my new Yellow aircraft F-15 before its clear coated.

What happened to the old one?

Lost it due to engine power loss, fuel system contamination from looking at the engine downloads.

Sweet lookin' man.....where's the cockpit?.........Perry

Looks nice Wayne. I'm thinking about doing the same paint scheme on my YA. Might help these old eyes some.

Yo Wayne

The cockpit is just masked over until I shot the clear coat. It has a new Artes Super Eagle for power; they replaced the old one even though they suspected the fault to be with the fuel. The maiden flight was done while it was still in primer; I got three flights on it before it got painted. It’s a little over two pounds lighter that the first one thanks to better equipment placement and simplifying the canopy actuating system.

Wayne, im just back from the pacific and have to say..............beautiful man, i like the grime! nick

Hi Wayne

I am doing a Yellow F15, have you got some pictures of your cockpit actuation

thanks Ian

Thanks Nick, here are some picture of the missles and pylons, and some of the old and new canopy actuation system. I may still rework the new canopy system to get more throw.

a few more pictures

Thanks Wayne

they are very useful

Does the air ram behind the seat operate the lever that hooks the cross bar assembly on the centre bracket of the canopy?

Ian

The air ram on the seat does actuate the canopy lock it was controlled by a retract sequencing valve. The new setup eliminates the sequencer, with the canopy ram itself running the locking rods into the fwd canopy frame.

Here are the pictures you wanted with everything loaded.

GORGEOUS!!!
