Hey Jerry, could you please share the URL for the plan of the F-22 jet you made (and crashed on pole). With my trainer ready, I looking for plan option for the F-22, with which I fell in love with some 10 years back!!
BTW is the b/g score from '009 Sound System" ? I would be definately putting thier 'Trinity' track for my first Jet Video... aweesoem crash anyway man.. What all survived ? do post the pics of the debry .... >:D ;D
Should have been an F1 racer. Got pole position all right!
Hi Ujjwaana
I bought the kit from Hobby King for only 49$. It came with a 64mm Ducted fan. It was easy to build too.

Good luck

Thanks Jery for the reply as fast as your flying. Me starting jet with one of the most simplistic (to build) plan . Hope it flies even half well as yours :D

No EDF, just pusher. Would be moving to bigger 36" complex Raptor plan with EDf, once I convince myself that I can fly complex Alevon planes so soon (contrary to most of my friends' advice).
Did you ship the plane to India ? I mean I am very ardent to get ARF past Indi Customs... sub $60 ARF Foamies always look drooling but shipment + customs upsets all hopes. Wish LHS start storing more worth while and cheape EPP Foamies like these!! Even if priced at 3500 here, they would be worthwhile.
No, I shipped it to Chicago. I know Indian customs are kinda no no towards Rc flying objects.. But, I think it depends on where it is coming from too. Customs are kinda fishy about Chinese and Hk stuff.
I dont know if you have tried www.bananahobby.com (http://www.bananahobby.com) in California. They have good prices and shipping is also decent. I just got my first plane to India, since I am moving back. Lets see how that goes. I am waiting for them to ship it. I paid $99 for a RTF with 2.4Ghz tx and rx( which I intend to sel later) and $74 for shipping with insurance. I am a bit nervous.. ???
By the way, if you are new to elevons/delta I would suggest you to use Dual rates if your transmitter supports it. If you dont have DR, move your gimbals very light and smooth... If you have a stall let the plane correct it( if you are in a good altitude) and then get it back on your sticks. From my experience, if your cg is correct,,, no worries... :)
