RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

Yep... a JetCentral Cheetah with 14kg. Very responsive engine. You'll see in the video a low slow pass at near idle, with full power put on right near the end of the low pass and the vertical...

Groan! I had to wait 4 months for my engine, and when it did come I had to cancel the maiden when the fuel solenoid died, so I feel your pain!

What LG are you using that takes so long?

Looking good Paul... I see you got the scheme with the same modifications as mine. Did you order decals for it too?

They look great! What is the capacity of each tank? I looked all over their website and cant find it. Do you have a direct link to the product page?

Hey Paul... you just cut the bottom off and they fit fine. The air cylinder goes over the bit you've cut out anyway, so you cant really see it (I took this photo early in my build before finishing...

Paul... tragic story, but sounds like a lame excuse to buy a new jet to me (not that any excuse is needed) :)  I backed my trailer into a plane in my garage once. That plane is no more either. ...

Great thinking on the batteries Craig... I'll do the same I think. I received the Tamjet smoke pump from Peter yesterday. Looks good, well priced, although not exactly light weight, is it.

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video
