Just got this yesterday and couldn't wait to maiden it. The clouds parted after lunch today and that was my que.Finished the last bit of the build and setup at the field, and it worked really well. StarMax/Hobby-Lobby has a good jet in this one,of course could use more speed, but definitely not what I'd called underpowered. More clips of this , on the weekend

well hey thanks, ill be sure to come back if i have anymore questions!

no worries. most arf radios are too glitchy, no expo, no programming. 2.4ghz radios are almost bulletproof I have a DX7 and JR9303 for bigger stuffnimh batteries are not really anything that should be used in jet, not enough power. Lipos are good, but need a good charger for them, and make sure you don't drain them too much. Forums have a lot of good info on specific stuff, and also a lot of general info too. You can search a brand plane, or just get stats on which batteries are better 2

well it's hard to come by good information on the internet so if/when i get the chance, i just nail someone with a lot of questions.why wouldn't you use the arf radio? what do you use instead?and for rc jets how do you feel about nimh vs lipo batteries.btw, thanks for

wow you're just full of questions. I like it quite a bit, but the nose gear is not very good, and either is the servo for it, it has to be replaced with a metal gear servo. Not really a first time edf plane but not many are. Try a Stryker first, learn what a plane that gets thrust out the back flies like. After that the Great planes L39 is a great cheap ducted fan plane, but requires a hand launch.. oh and the plane didn't come with a radio, i wouldn't use it anyways, any arf radio really

from the video it kinda sounds like a real airplane, but i couldn't hear it clearly from the music.how do you like it? would you reccomend it for a first time jetter?and did it have trim controls?
warderseeker (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
no it was only a few grams, and the Higher C battery has more power to it
gurubomb (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
did that hurt the power/thrust?
warderseeker (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
added weight to the nose, actually also used a heavier, higher C battery
