Listen to this thing,,,,,wooohooo! After all the monkeys got thru with the 70 footballs at BH,,I got it ready for flight! This is the 90 MM EDF that runs on a 6S 3300mAh 35C battery. Weather permitting,,I'll try a test flight tomorrow!! I'll have to shovel a runway on the ice near my fish-shack!! Wish me luck,,,they advertise this jet at 130 mph.

She's a beaut. Those F-4's are a good lookin' jet. WTH did it shoot out the back when you fired it up, elk? Looked like a piece of styrofoam.  I have to get busy and make one of those plane stands. Just been too lazy to design one.  |

yea,,I got it in the air,,,for about 7 seconds. The fuselage snapped in half,,,just behind the canopy,,,,,the bulkhead does not have any glue on it where it is mated together. Sure looks like a manufacturers defect to me. I'm so pi$$ed.
I'm tied up the next couple days installing a wood furnace here at home,,,but when I can get back into it,,I'm going to video the damage and show how this thing broke,,,I'll post it for the WORLD to see. I'll contact BH about it but I'm not hopefull they'll show any concern,,that is IF I can get in touch with them.
What a freak'n headache! I'm on a mission now,,,,to destroy BH in the media.

The ultimate insult to injury: The plane breaks in half. I'm surprised you're not on a mission to turn Pete into paraplegic.
Happy landings

But with a bigger fan? kewl, David,,,that airfield F-4 you mentioned IS the same jet as the Camo F-4 in my video,,,,,it is made by Famous,,,,just another version. 70 MM runs on a 4S 2200 battery. THAT is a great jet. |

So it just snapped in half while it was in the air, didn't even hit anything? That is crazy!
I too was looking forward to a video of this thing screaming by at 130 mph. I hope that BH makes it right for you.
