HA! I was just trying to be nice. :D It's not too much to fly with but certainly way more than one needs with this monster.

Agree that you set the travel at the root. I will tell you that, assuming you don't have your CG too far forward to make it more stabile, the elevator throw they recommend is...significant. I'd set...

While tight, I don't agree (at least with mine). There is no worry of h-stab flex on my cover whatsoever.

Thanks Wayne. Making the transition from F3A to F3S is interesting. The aerobatic box is so big!

FYI, I signed up for the NATS today.

I've been doing 7.5 minute flights with the 235 and have about 1/3 of a tank remaining. Sneak up on that longer flight. This thing deadsticks like a dream but if you don't need to, that's better.

The problem is each Max is slightly different and depends on where you want the CG in relation to the rear of the tube. I have mine at 20mm aft and my measurement and Jack's measurement was 5mm...

It's ready. It's just so dang hot down here, it's hard to get the motivation to go back out. I did a test run on the new 235 and it ran perfect. Shut it down, refueled the jet and it flooded so I...

I didn't rough mine up and it was fine (although I didn't have very many flights with it on). Maybe leave it off until you get her trimmed out and flying exactly like you want. I like a lot of...

You can use "Amazing Goop". I used "Goop Max". It makes it easy to take off and put on if you need to. Currently, I have mine off to get a little more throw. Silicone also works

For me, that's correct. IMHO, you should always measure from the most effective point on any control surface. If you set up the CG 10-20mm aft of the spar tube, put in about 30-40% Expo on your...

No sir. It was a great fit, albeit tight, with the ER50 nose gear but it didn't require any rework. Hardest part for me was getting the bolts and lock nuts in there. I didn't attempt...

Hey Sheldon,

Yes, I'll definitely pay attention to that but I'm not worried. If you do the same thing, just make sure you don't tighten the lock nut too much where you'd start binding the servo...

Hi guys,

Just a heads up, if you will. If you use the silver clevises that come with the airplane that have a pin and a keeper, be careful. I pulled my wing out of its Revoc bag and the one on...

Exactly what I do with mine. Remove the nose to charge batteries contained in there and the rest of the fuse stays together. I do take off the tail feathers, however but I leave the H-Stab spar in...

It is definitely the Antharzit 25. This color is very close to OEM if not exact. If you need the silver, I can find that and get it to you as well but this is definitely another "shade".
