Mark I do have the module mounted in the fuselage and I have never experienced any over heating problems I must have flown the model at least 10 to 12 times in fact when I was testing it on the bench it hardly got warm. I have 6 LED 3 on each wing the wiring is a bit fiddly but not difficult. If you decide to go for LED get Model Systems to solder the wires to the lamps they don’t charge much and I think this would be difficult unless you have a lot of experience at soldering. I run my Hellcat on 6 cell batteries you would need to tell Model Systems your set up so they can provide you with the correct resistors. I would definitely go for the LED as they do look impressive.

Finally worked out how to download photographs and will attempt Ytube at the weekend As you can hopefully see I did use the two 4” speakers. The setting up of the sound system is quite straightforward and the instructions are easy to follow. The difficult bit is deciding where to install the speakers. The Hellcat has a large cowl, which accommodated one speaker comfortably, and I was able to install the other in the wing bell pan. I think the installation looks pretty tidy and does not spoil the scale look of the model. With regard to David’s comment on the sound of the engine being suppressed when firing the guns he is correct but the guns can be clearly heard and look and sound fantastic. One other thing if you fire the guns when a friend is about to retrieve the model it frightens the life out of them

I will do my best at the weekend to do a video. I have never posted anything on YouTube but I'm sure my daughters will help

Hi, I have installed a sound system to my Hangar 9 Hellcat. The system was bought from Model Sounds. The people at Model Sounds were very helpful and the service was excellent. The system was quite easy to install testing it in the garage without a propeller on was excellent. The first flight was a little disappointing as you could hear too much engine and prop noise. The motor I was using was a very old Axi. I changed the motor to an E-Flite 60 with a APC prop. The difference was tremendous. On this system when you fire the guns the engine noise stops therefore you can clearly hear the guns you can also clearly see the LEDS flashing even on a clear day. I think the best bit is the start up and the shut down. I have tried to upload photos of the installation but have not been successful I could email them to you if they were of interest.

Hi I saw the add on ebay and put a bid in at £100.00 including postage I was surprised when I won. The seller is Steve Webb Models I intend to use an a E-Flite 60 470kv motor on 6 cell batteries I have one of these in another model and it seems to have loads of power I have also bought a Spektrum 6 channel AS3X receiver to use in it. Like you I cannot find any reviews on the model or whether it has any vices hopefully some one will get back and let us know but I have taken the plunge
