Madison, that looks FANTASTIC... one of the best I have seen!
I have the same one, but it seems to me that yours is a "Non enamel/shiny finished version"?? Some of your pics show the fine foam pock marks (typical of foam), but mine is sort of glass-smooth, due to is quite thick enamel (it seems) coating. Which chips too. I would rather not have had this coating as it is not very well done.... Did you get Callie graphics? I never did look at the whole set mine came with, so I am not sure if yours has extras - which it seems they would be - or not. And pics of a red, and a blue, one..... does that mean you have two? |

Seems to work just fine. You wrote that you don't experience the ballooning that some report? CG as per manual or more in front? thx! Clemens PS: You got a rather big lipo in there, I hope to balance mine with a smaller battery... |

Thanks! Actually my eyesight is not that good. The video camera has a wide angle lens so in real life it's a bit larger. I know this airframe pretty well by now so it's not that difficult. I usually don't maiden new models in such poor visibility weather. Andrew |

cheater open and no cheaters on top. Will open them up soon though to get some more air to the fan. Balooning only appears with cg a few mm further back and it's vicious. I use a cg of 60-62mm from wing leading edge. Easy to do with the heavy (500gr) batteries. You may have noticed that on take-off I used most of the runway. Had to arm restle it off the ground.... Last week is used a 3300mah battery and forgot to check the cg. On landing, I cut throttle a bit too soon and it balloned about 2 meters up, stalled and fell on all 3 gears hard. Only minor damage to the from LG mount. Could easily have been much worse. |

Folks, I need some help. I just bought the F9F-2 Panther (blue tail) that was suppose to be NIB. Well what I got was an airframe and a 68mm fan unit. No instructions, no parts bag, and no esc. I have since learned this particular unit didn't come with an esc.I've searched and can't find a manual or info on whatever parts bag came with it. The plane had also sat for a very long time because all the installed control rods are corroted and the manual retracts are froze up.
Can anyone help me out with a link to manual and what kind of accessories package came with the plane? thanks. |

the guys at parkrcmodels might be able to help w/ the instructions. if the model is a eps v1 w/ the retracts they are useless anyway. we locked them down or replaced w/ the etracts.
