Better still, what has Keith done differently to achieve 23lbs? He wrote the RCJI article didn't he? I'll pm him and ask.

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

Hi Jason. What is your all up weight?

There is a review of the FEJ F!5 in the August edition of RCJI. They gave it a good wrap, and suggested a gyro for the steering channel.
