It is not very cool to spam a vendor thread with your company promotional video/advertisement.

if you are too kind to report Don.. Welll... Im not that kind

how is my video spam?

review of an airplane, and oh BTW you can get it here too and not just China.

i think they are referring to the fact that you posted a video about your website on another vendors website. kinda like posted a hobbyking video on hobby-lobbies website. everyone knows you can buy a plane from multiple vendors. not attacking you, just clarifying what they are upset about

I understand. Wasnt aware it was a vendor thread.

sorry Don, didnt realize it was a vendor thread. I deleted the vid from your thread. Checking out the 4s conversion though. Really awesome! Gotta be wicked fast!

The ducting, control rods in the airstream, it all adds up. The Alfa F86 I had would go much faster on the same watts as the EPO F86 they now sell same as the Mig 15. On 4S the they go about 100 mph @ 600 watts the alfa kits were over 115 mph on the same watts. If you were to put them next to each other you would see the differences in how they are built.

Joining this thread very late, but just received my Stinger 64 and waiting for Don's RC to send appropriate motor package. Just read this bit about trailing edges. Should anyone wish to thin the trailing edges (particularly for foam) they might consider the following technique. Cut a thin slot in the trailing edge, insert a thin piece of carbon fiber using appropriate glue, sand the trailing edge down to the carbon fiber. Purpose of carbon fiber is to significantly strengthen the material.

Combat 20 I ordered my red stinger kit 1/09/12 international and its delayed from stinger being shipped from china mainland to hongkong...I have one of Dons wicked 4000 and edo 1 fan balanced and ready to install...I changed from 6g vg servos to hxt900 9g servos..too late to change on original order but 6ea hxt900 servos just shipped from HobbyKing..also ordered 3ea turnigy nanotech 3s 5c 1800 batts for flying to begin then may go to 4s later

I tried installing the tube but could not get it in without damage to the plane or tube. How did you guys install it?

You have to push the side of the tube inwards to make the tube into a "U"shape. So instead of looking like a circle it will look like a "U". Then slide it in then the "U" will pop back to round shape.

Thanks! Got it in there.

What material do you make the tube from?
