RE: Flyeagle F18F
[quote]ORIGINAL: bidrseed2 Thanks Salibaj, that's quite helpful. I'm afraid though it's missing the one which could really be the problem, the width of the model with the stabs attached. [/quote] I see when I can measure mine and post them over.

RE: Flyeagle F18F
[quote]ORIGINAL: bidrseed2 Would someone be old enough to measure the width of the model with the stabs attached? Secondly the length from the tailcones up to where the fuselage splits in half. I need to decide if it would fit in my car. Thanks in advance. [/quote] See page 10 and page 11. There are all the measurments. Regards Joseph

Hi, I was late in oredering some Ashtek wires and plugs to do my extension leads. I was late because it seems that [link=http://ashtekelectronics.com/shop/]here[/link] do not stock them anymore. From wher I can buy some suitable extension leads for these high torque digital servos please. Also, I will appreciate what lenghts have been used. Regards Joseph

RE: Flyeagle F18F
Hi Oliver, Yes, I am referring to aileron throw. Thank you for your settings. You know that the aileron is narrow at the tip and goes wide towards the fuselage. Now, if you measure the tip you get a result, for example 16mm, but if you measure towards the fuselage it is more, because the aileron is wider there, am I correct? I take it that you measure it at the tip (outside) of the wing. As you refered to the elevator, from the root, I understand it from the inner part towards the fuselage, and the leading edge, as usually this was also mentioned to correct the neutral position of the elevator. Thank you Regards Joseph

RE: Flyeagle F18F
Hi, When measuring the 25mm for the aileron, you do it from the tip or from the inner (towards the fuselage) of the aileron? Regards Joseph

RE: Flyeagle F18F
[quote]ORIGINAL: Kmarks Nate, in that case the servos should work. I had balanced my stabs and would get some titering back and forth on one side. When the stab has just a slight bit of pressure it would not do it anymore. This may also be true with your set up.

RE: Flyeagle F18F
Thank you Oliver to your continue contribution to this thread. What type of flex plate shall I use? I know I saw something you modified but cannot remember. So. removing the original rail mount and install 6mm to the former will do the trick. Shall I do them the same shapen for the former, (except for the angle)? Regards Joseph

RE: Flyeagle F18F
[quote]ORIGINAL: Timo44 ..sorry PIlots, I just don't get it - in the past everybody complained about the negative AOA, because of the main gear is ''to high'' or better said front wheel gear to ''low'' - now FEJ delivers the main gear mod with a lower version - so It should be alright - is it ? normally the tendency of the plane is NOT to jump, if the plane has positive angle ... and thats the case with lower mains.. anyway - I'm all happy with the 1st gear version even on gras - no mod ! - only to the front wheel - All you have to do is not driving racing car with the plane on the ground - just take of an land - an keep it straight - and there will be no wingwalk at all ! [/quote] Tim, Think about it, if the retracts are going to be installed lower, (further down the bottom of the plane), then there will be more negative angle, as this will raise the plain from the back.

RE: Flyeagle F18F
[quote]ORIGINAL: jetnuno Hi I started to install some stuff and then I saw that FEJ is going to release a Twin version. I assume that it is the same frame but with some aditional formers inside. Any one knows how it will work? Maybe Oliver can give a hint.....I was planning to ask FEJ if there is an upgrade kit available. Regards Nuno [/quote] This has made me upset. I already removed all original gear rails. But I think that as the gear is going to be a bit wider, it will lower the plne a bit. I only took out one side. I will install that side and measure the difference. If there will be that one inch difference, I will install the gear on the upper side of the rails. What you think? Nuno, Yes. It will be good if there will bea kit for a twin. Have you asked FEJ? Regards Joseph

RE: Flyeagle F18F
Hi, Finally after a year of study I am continue with the building of the F18. I am installing the upgrade of the main gears. I noticed that the rails that hold the main gears are going to be installed about 1 inch lower than the old rails. Is this correct? And being that low I assume that the gear will be installed in the lower end of the rails, not on top. As the gear will be now wider, this will keep the F18 incidence as it was originally. I would like to hear some suggestions from whom already installed this upgrade. Regards Joseph

RE: Flyeagle F18F
[quote]ORIGINAL: olnico I contacted FEJ about my specific problem. Their answer was that they have built this pipe for smaller engines ( 36 lbs thrust max ) and that I was outside of the pipe specifications. That answer was quite reasonable and after having seen how the pipe handled my abuses, I chose not to post about this specific issue. ( Here is a typical flight that I have with the F-18F http://www.geohei.lu/olin/videos/Hobby/F-18F/flight%206.wmv ) [/quote] Hi, When I ordered my F18 I was asked which pipe I wanted. I replied to have the large one to handle more power. So now it seems that this pipe is not up to the job? Andy, I am so sorry for the loss, I know what it means. I lost an MB339 on maiden after 20 seconds from take-off. The worst was that I even ever taxied the plane, it was in the hands of an `expert'. Oliver, the link does not work! Regards Joseph

[quote]ORIGINAL: olnico [quote]ORIGINAL: Timo44 Hello top guns, I'm now also in the final phase of contruction of my F18 Tier Meet - Fantastic bird :) anyway I considered, that if I activate pressure of about 8 bar to the main wheel brakes - the strength is very poor - I can turn the wheel with less force. Is this really normal, that the brake performs so weak, or ist there a hint, I can increase the force ?? I don't know how it will handle on the runway ?? One more thing, the spring of the main gear seems also to be a little bit less "on force" The left one is dampening more than the right one - is there also any possibility to set the stregth of the main gear springs ?? [/quote] Don't worry too much with the braking force. The plane has so much drag that it slows down quickly. Also the tires deformation create a lot of friction while taxiing. For the springs you can cut the one that is too long. I do not like the spring setup at all. I have changed it and had springs custom made for the purpose. [/quote] Oliver, Can you tell us dimensions/spring load for your custom made springs please? I am interested in your setup and will do it. Thank you Regards Joseph

Yes I know. The simpler it is the better. But I came acroos that photo and posted it. BTW, I was only reffering to the rudders. I know about someone speaking for the flaperos, they made the F18 with a lot of drag, and recommended not to use it. So Oliver, in your opinion 185cm of CG is the perfect setup? Regards Joseph

RE: Flyeagle F18F
Hi, Just seen the photo attached. Have a look to the rudders! It is a take off of a real F-18 from an aircraft carrier deck. I think that the rudders are `closed' so to create drag and makes the aircraft lighter on the front, thus facilitate take off's. With this combination, flaps can be reduced further during take-off for a smoother lift-off? And when it comes to landing, this will help reducing airspeed and lifting the nose? Regards Joseph
