Andy Meade Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 A servo controls each surface, and you program your radio as if it were a vee tail - that's pretty much it! Keep the "rudder" movements fairly small though, as the tails are big. Then on a landing run, you can fly the model through the dodgy bits of the circuit with "rudder and elevator" which should eliminate any sudden tip-stall tendencies. That's it! You can also use an aileron-to-rudder mix to give you a great roll rate when flying normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Is there room for a bit of cockpit detail Andy? What scale pilot needed? As per your F15? Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Plenty of room underneath Ade - it goes full depth. You'll need to trim down the ply cockpit surround though. Scale, not sure! Wikipedia says that should be about 13th scale - you'd have to check with Matt on what scale he bought for the Eagle I'm afraid, but seeing as they came from Real Model Pilots, they can scale up/down to whatever you want anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Meade Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just spotted this nice EDF hunter on ebay, made form the west wings kit. OK, it's on an auction, but at least you can sell off the noisy bits for some classic PSS action This poor, unloved F15 for sale again. Used to be on the BMFA classified for a lot more.

It has a 78inch wingspan and is in USAF camouflage colours. Looks good on the evidence of the photo. Must be tempting to someone...!
