Alright guys, maybe Im just blind, but I did not see a thread on this model yet....if there already is then I apologize.

I just saw on Hobby Lobby's site that they now have a 64mm TV F-35 model.....for 4s use.

Is this new, or I have missed this in my daily sifting through the EDF forums? Anyone have one of these that can comment on it?

Just bought one for $99, $111 with shipping!!!...what a deal...great entry-level thrust vectoring model on a proven flyer. Will be my first thrust vectoring. I hope it's not too heavy with extra servos and battery. I got the Thunderbird model.

I am interested in amount of thrust of 64 mm with 4s and how many blades. Could you take some photos of the setup. You will find thrust vectoring a different animal and lot more fun.
Thanks.

Will do Aero. I think I must have gotten the last one, they show Pre-order now. But I haven't gotten any shipping info either, now that I think of it...hmmm.

I just called Hobby Lobby to get an update on my Thunderbird and they said OOPS we sent out a gray one to you...the others are backordered to April! Trying to decide what course of action to take...

Ooops, no mistake. My Thunderbird F-35 arrived from Hobby Lobby yesterday so everything is good. Haven't unboxed yet but peeked in to see that it was the right plane and all parts look good so far.

Mispost.

I am having problems setting up my radio in this plane. I am using a Spektrum AR8000 Rx and DX7s Tx. Both aileron servos move in the same direction and there are no instructions on how to mix the thrust vectoring. Anyone have any ideas?
I purchased mine from Value Hobby for 109.00 no shipping since I live close and picked it up.

Just finished building mine. Had to split the Ailerons to make then worked correctly it cam with the left elevator and left aileron on a Y - same for the right side - moved the elevator to the same Y. Disabled the gear on my DX8 so I can use it for mixing - using a 7 channel RX. Ch 5 - mixed with Rudder on F1 and Aux 2 mixed with Elevator on Mix 1.

Soooo..., you turned your elevons into elevators?

xmech2k - do you think that will cause a problem? I do not need the insane roll rate for the maiden flight.

z28, you should be just fine with that set up.

Thanks! JGuilty13 - trust it will be ok
