Just picked one up real cheap , can anyone give me some performance modifacations ?
I am being told
1)its tail heavy
2)use Hitec H51 mini servos
3)takes for ever to take off
4)ok in the air but overall slow and a handful on takeoffs
5)Flys better with out windshied in place
Thanks for the help

See http://aeneas.ps.uci.edu/edf/f86kyosho/f-86-kyosho.wmv for one that moves out.
Here is the construction thread on it. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...ighlight=herb+

Thanks guys looks interesting , not as bad as i thought .
The perviuos owner cut a air inlet in the canopy but I think that adds more drag then air to the engine .
I may consider a air inlet in the wing area and box it out and reinforce the area with light fiberglass .
