I think that the 20-mm is likely at the bottom trailing edge, or perhaps in the middle. 20mm at the top of the rudder on this model would be a lot of throw...

Honestly, you will almost never use the rudder on the F-4. On takeoff roll, obviously, but that is mainly the nose wheel steering...

I think what you have is plenty.

I finally got some good weather and other things fall into place to get some flights on my F-4. I got three flights today. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures (I will next time), but my F-4 is...

Jeff,

I'm really sorry about that. I'm glad you are going to give it another go. My first F-4 was a 1/7th Fei Bao one. I lost it on the second flight when I let it get too slow at the top of a...

That's great news Jeff! The F-4 is a great plane to blast around in circles anyway - big verticals are not needed to have fun with it.

Jeff,

Yea, that's a tough one. That field is located in an area that shows as "0" feet authorization on the FAA's UAS Facility Map - meaning that they will not authorize any UAS flight in there...

Sorry to hear about your field situation WRT to the FAA! What club was that and where is their field?

Jeff,

I had my pipe installed the way Skymaster suggested, and I did not lower it on the back. I had a little paint bubbling on the inner underside of the stab and on the aft fuselage cover, but...

Jeff,

Good plan on getting it flying and then adding additional scale details. Get it in the air and get used to it before expending a bunch of energy in details - that way you aren't risking the...

Mine came setup for the external linkage, which I used. The internal linkage must be new.

You don't use much rudder in an F-4, so as long as the internal linkage is stiff enough to keep it from...

I just modified my center tank to have the fuel pickup in the middle of the tank and a separate vent at the top. Then I used the flexible tubing and heavy clunk from BVM on that tank. The...

My stab plate is permanently mounted - the chute tube and cylinder make it so that it can't come out anyway. My does come off though - I set it up so that I can easily take the pivots off and remove...

It hard to determine the size from the picture, but I think that is the fitting used to put air into the nose gear leg. I forget if my main gear legs had air in them, but I think mine were simple...

Jeff,

Yes, mine has those and they are for an additional screw to help hold the intakes in place. I had to make some adjustments on mine because where they were on the new fuselage didn't line up...

Jeff,

I actually ordered some oil for the struts from Skymaster through BVM. I don't think they carry it anymore though. Skymaster recommends silicon oil used in RC car struts.

As for the toe...

Jeff,

No, mine fit OK. I had two, one from the original fuselage and one that came with the new one. I was going to use the old one on the new fuse, but it didn't fit - which indicates to me that...

You might try heating it a little bit - or maybe try a hot knife.

That kind of sucks about the paint. There were mistakes on mine as far as markings and color, but mine was a flat finish, so I don't know if it was cleared or if the decals were over the...

I think you'll be happy with the K140 in there. Its smaller and about the same weigh as the P120SE I had (and will have again - if I can ever finish the painting) in mine, but with almost 5 lbs more...

As I've said before, with lots of flights on mine - many off of grass, I wish I had a light 140 for mine... especially if you're going to add smoke - wherever it can fit.
