Its not the flying that's the issue but the take off speed and the thrust required to achieve it. ;)
A fully laden F104G needed close to 200 mph to get off even with flaps.

I have a video of the prototypes second flight but dont know how to put on here, it flies very nicely with a 160 turbine, mine will have two 100s so should be good, and it seems to fly slow, which surprised me

There's a clip of one flying in part 3 of Dom's low passes vids.
I don't know if it is to the same drawing as BB's, though.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

No it will be the airworld one, mine is the same size though, Iv been planking :whistle:
On the fuselage side and the tip tank



Then had a session sanding, and then i bolted the tank on to the wing to see how it fit, very good
Then dry fit the fin to the tank




Then added the sheet to the top of the wing




I think the vid im referring to is Damiano Oritsio F104 second flight, if anyone can put it on here thank you

Eric wants to be the pilot :ohmy: with his eye sight :S mind he still might fly it better than me :)

Trimmed the top sheeting on the wing and got a nice fit to the fuselage, the tank sits low to the ground, got to come up a couple of inches i think

And iv been planking :woohoo: working on the other wing tank,

Going flying in the morning, taking the Revolver all patched up and two new 2s lipos in it all charged up :)

I was going flying today, but did not wake up in time, in fact i did not wake until 10-30 :woohoo: unheard of for me
Im mostly up all night without any sleep, i have the jiffy leg thing for one and my mind will not shut down, it was 2 before i went to sleep but 10-30
Any ways got a bit more done even though i trapped a nerve in my back by ( dont laugh ) lifting a pen off the table :evil: really
Thought i would take a look at the mounts for the two turbines im fitting as it is designed for just one, but to get the power i need i will fit my two 100 Newton motors
Thanks: boz
