I stumbled upon this on the Troybuilt Models website.

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

Is that onto the HiTec ( or similar) metal servo arm?

Did you drill the tailplane shaft horn to 3mm to match the bolts supplied?

BTW - I am using Stainless Steel bolts on all the critical...

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

Another Question.

I have been playing around with the tailplane linkage. What type of arm is recommended for the servo - I am using Hi-Tec HS-7855TG. I have 3mm bolts for the control rod...

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

Me too - it arrived last October. I have an integral garage as a workshop but it was too cold to be out there most of the last winter; plus of course I have to work to fund the hobby.

I have not...

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

No, I don't think so. There is a former not too far behind the nose gear unit - and the fuselage join is just behind that. Lastly there is just no space to work in there.

I have thought about...

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

Yes, will do.

I think I have a cunning plan. If I put ball-links on the steering arm it looks as though I can route snakes forward on either side of the void into which the nose-leg retracts. I...

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

Ho Hum. I have the "Advanced" version of the kit and that has the scale undercarriage. The noseleg is adorned with what appears to be a prototypical brace which, of course, impedes the placement of a...

Another Question

Has anyone managed to rig the nosewheel steering with a servo mounted directly onto the nose leg? I do not like the cable system as it seems to me that it relies upon the nose...

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

Yes, its a large O-ring on the wheel - no sign of any brake shoes.

Thanks for confirming that the servo extensions can run close by the ECU - with the Rx and Powerbox in the nose area I'll have...

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

Yes! I managed to get the UAT into the void forward of the L/H saddle tank - thanks for the suggestion.

I'll try the same with the ECU on the R/H side. Just one question on that - is there any...

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

Thanks Bob.

I think my nose section has been installed and removed about 5 times so far - mostly my fault for not doing stuff in the right sequence - and then I got the alloy collars for the...

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

Advice Please.

I have made some good progress with my F15C recently and now need some advice.

1) Is it ok to have the UAT forward of the central hopper tank/ I plan on locating it alongside...

My first jet too. Can I suggest that you have all your plumbing sorted out before you finally join the nose section to the main fuselage? The central fuel tank is impossible to work on once they are...

No, there is no printed manual delivered with the model. All I have is the downloaded manual from the FEJ website - you are right it is not very helpful. I have also downloaded the SM F15C manual to...
