While building a MS large park size build of this model, I wanted to see if I make a quicker version of this Labor of love, to check CG and have some fun.

I noticed on your plans that in the key the remove paper and remove foam are swapped!

Edit: no longer a problem

I had a idea for a thrust vectoring system using the 3 channel pack. You could use the servo to move the motors up and down instead of a elevator!

Do you have a link to how you can get a servo on these? where to the wires hookup at?

Hey Foamy? At FF2023, I heard the STEM guys talking about how much better (more powerful) the latest EZ power pack was vs the older ones. Same guy said his boys had figured out how to put two packs together into one "turbo" pack, that made the little F-18 STEM aircraft fly really fast.

You might give it another go using a new EZ power pack and one of these techniques.
