going to use a Mega 16/15/4 direct, jeti 40 amp ESC, 3 cell 1800 mah polyquest Lipo and what ever size folding prop i can find in the spares box :lol:

Fred:
Your welcome Alan !

Joe, the building is looking great so far !
You have to think of a paint scheme now !  :D

I've removed the link from the website on monday.
I'll put it back when you want.

joe:
ok here we go a bit more work done on the F-15

front and rear fuse sections together.center fuse fin is mounted.this holds motor mount,servo for elevator and the elevator control rod passes trough it.after lots of checking, holes were drilled and the elevator control rod was fitted.left elevator was glued on and control horns were positioned on the rod but not glued,yet!.servos were fitted.they were a push in fit, helped with a little glue for security.controls set up for elevator.motor,mount and mounting stick glued into position.







only problem is i don't think i have a folding prop of the right size.they all seem to be too big and will pull too much amps for the motor,esc,battery i have.will find something that works for a test flight!

not sure yet about a colour scheme.was thinking the usual grey military look.now i'm thinking a high visability scheme might be nice.blue or red.am prefering the red so far






more coming soon

actually liking the blue better now that i've looked at them together!
i think blue with the layout of the red scheme
