Skymaster (X-Treme ) F-100 Super Saber
Hi,
just got this beautiful Jet , and i'm going to install KingTech K-160 Turbine on it,
i decided to not install the intakes inside of it , please let me know if you have suggestion or any other idea about it ( specially about the CG );
attaching some photo from start to end and hopefully video of first flight of it,
will it fly like this?!?! LOL
looks fine!
lets weigh it with all equipment!

thank you,
our RC Field elevation here is about 3800 feet and always we lost about 10% of thrust ,
CG is about 330 -360 from leading edge , i'm going set with 345 , do you have any suggestion?

Saeid, if you search my profile and look at threads I’ve started, I have a whole build thread from start to finish for my 100.
My 100 has a Jetcat Titan SE, which is a 160 N engine. I would not say it is over powered by any stretch. I think it is a perfect pairing.

Abedinpour…………...I will see if I have pictures. Unfortunately I had an issue with the sun and lost the picture on mine. No fault of the plane. I will probably do another as they fly awesome with tanks and missiles loaded on. My landing flaps went as far down until they hit tanks for landing. 15 degrees for take off

HI
the maiden flight has done , first flight was very scary because it was nose heavy and in banks i almost lost control ... but i was lucky,
after fix the CG , it flies very nicely and with BF140 i could go full power , half power is more than enough , with half power it flies really fast,
in 4th fly , landing gear failed and i had to do belly landing on dirt , i was lucky only damage was Exhaust , here the link for video of last flight in my instagram :
can i go faster or not? please let me know what do you think

I flew mine with the tanks and on inboard I installed missiles. CG was 345 and flew well with 120. Maybe clean wing it acts a little different. I noticed that you had doors open with gear down. I used UP valve that allowed doors to be close gear up and down.
Im glad you had minimal damage on gear up landing
