Oooo a crusader those are very cool looking planes!I bought this to get into EDF planes and have something nice but a good "bang for the buck": Freewing F-8 Crusader EDF Jet PNP FJ10811P – Motion RC .Plus, it looks super cool and I like cold war jets. Plenty of 4ch experience including swept wing planes, so this should be a lot of fun

I really didn't stop to think too much about 4s when I ordered it last night since it recommended 3s and I picked up a three set of 3s batteries...oh well, I can use those for other builds not a waste. I'd much rather have it on 4s, especially since I hand launch. I'd also like some excess power, helps the learning curve of an EDF. I've got a couple 4s batteries coming, a 1300 and an 1800. I'll see how it handles with these, probably maiden with the smaller one.i have/had one of those. they can fly 4S on stock setup which i recommend. on 3S it can be a bit interesting to get into the air. i bungee launch mine so i dont have to worry. i am not a fan of the control surface arrangement, it takes a bit to get used to. i physically set my ailerons to minimum throws and the elevators to max. some people just ditch the ailerons all together and fly it as an elevon.
good luck, it is a cool plane and looks great once you get it in the air.

@FoamyDM great flight!
I used to have a Losi Trail Trekker which is kinda like this but just 10 or so years earlier. It's long discontinued now but I had lots of fun with it. I've still got it somewhere. Maybe I ought to revive it...got my wheel weights today and they make a huge difference. was hoping i would have the steering linkage today as well but no show so far. tomorrow we should have at least 3 at the field. gonna start to plan out a little course.

i also realized i had the servo upgrade all ready in stock, both plastic and metal geared. once i get linkage that will be next on the list.

What servo did you upgrade to? I’m considering installing 4 wheel steering on mine. However I’m still trying to figure out how I’ll be able to set up the three different steering settings and keep the drag brake...got my wheel weights today and they make a huge difference. was hoping i would have the steering linkage today as well but no show so far. tomorrow we should have at least 3 at the field. gonna start to plan out a little course.

You would be quite the handy girl living next door
All the details on the build are here...you got some more info on this build? if i can save some money and not have to buy a new set of goggles i would be happy. really want to get a setup like this for both airplanes and my rock crawlers.
thanks,
me
