RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

I agree with you that similar scale models should exhibit similar flight charistics and setup.

There will always be slight differences in Airfoil shape and the weight of construction.

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

I would like to see where your stab is trimed to after your first flight. I'd like to see what yours looks like under the same flight condition. Gear down, moderate speed (1/2 throttle) and no...

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

Wow Peter, it looks like your doing a very nice job building. I'm moving my CG aft as the jet is very nose heavy at 165mm, gear up no fuel. What engine will you be using?

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

Funny I didn't get any "small woods" included with my jet. I also don't see them in this picture.

That would probably "fix" the issue I had and prevent it from happening. This would also...

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

Well if you add it all up you can damn near buy three FEJ's for the price of one Yellow. And that said, if I could afford to buy a Yellow or BVM, I would. They have really nice stuff.

RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread
