NitroPlanes ProJet F4 Phantom Assembly, Flight, Pros and Cons.

**Please read! RF4B Phantom electronics was what I did in the Marine Corps aviation field. So when Nitroplanes introduced the F4, I had to have it. Warning! This is not for inexperienced modelers, as it requires extensive building knowledge. There was not much for instructions and a lot of figuring out was required, as you will see.
Pros:
The plane is well made and absolutely beautiful to look at. I used the best Fans Nitroplanes had and also put in, along with 80 amp motor controls, a 10 amp BEC. This setup allows for a flights at over 100 MPH speed. It is absolutely the best sounding electric ducted fan Jet I have ever flown. Extremely fast and exhilarating to fly. It tracks well with good aileron control. I love it.
Cons:
The servos I used were adequate for all controls except the elevator. The plane weighs approximately 7 lbs and at 100+MPH, the control rods flex towards level flight and the servos cannot push hard enough. There are 2 servos to run the elevator, however they are not linked, so if one fails, you will roll. I will change that to a single 15 size servo and connect the linkages for my next video. The only way I could figure out the radio location, etc was to look at the picture on the Nitroplanes Website. More detailed instructions with actual pictures would be wonderful.
At this point, I think I am going to change the location of the batteries for the next flight also.
