EDIT: I have test flown and begun fine tuning the F-100 Super Sabre "as of July 2014". This build was not an extensive amount of work - however, it WAS spread out over many years due to inactivity and losing interest a few times. I am so glad I was able to finish her, she flies great and looks right in flight with that classic F-100 Super Sabre outline in the sky.

Final Configuration as built and tested: HET 700-68-1200 - Castle Creations HV Edge 120 - Jetfan 90, 9 blade EDF and Tamjets housing for cooling - 10s 4000 to 5200mah packs - 85A / 3300 watts up in the mountains, 3800 watts at sea level (I've flown both density altitudes, no sweat either way).

From Oct 2010:
I am heavily modifying and glassing a "Fly Fly / Hobby Top Gun F-100". It's a very basic sort of kit for an EDF, but it has some very good "bones" as far as a scale airplane project goes. Aside from the fact that it is foam, it is a pretty good outline of a scale F-100 and it is a very nice size (large). Problems (for me) are Grand Canyon size panel lines that have to be filled anyway in the glassing process... and extremely blunt / thick trailing edges on all flying surfaces. Those can be fixed when I cap the trailing edges in balsa as I always do when I glass foam for durability reasons. The gear mounts retracts are unusable and the stabilizer control is un-airworthy and there is no rudder control but all these things will be addressed in the "kit bash" build....Continue Reading
