Thanks Nuno,
FYI,
The External Tanks, Missiles & Bombs added 2kg to the overall weight.
Test flight will be at 29kg plus fuel.
Yes, I agree with the landing gear issue. Will have a look after the maiden.
Have you flown yours yet?.
Regards
Bruce

Hi Bruce
The one you saw in the pics is not mine. I built it for a friend. I am building mine now, but want the gear issue adressed. Let's see what Anton come up with

Hello Everyone,
Completed the maiden flight of the F4 on the weekend.
Then did another two flights to complete certification.
For those looking for baseline setting for their models, here are my final settings.
CG:- 420mm from very front tip of wing or 270mm from mains if using Xicoy Balancer.
Weight:- 29kg dry
Ailerons:- 38mm up 32mm down
Elevator:- 55mm Up & Down
Elevator Neutral point:- 2mm below Fuse rivet on leading edge of Elevator.
Rudder:- 25mm Left & Right

Finally got the F4 together and out to the field for the first time for systems check's and engine runs.
All went well, only needed 130grams of lead in the nose to balance at 420mm.
All up weight including Tanks & missile was 31KG (without Fuel).
Hopefully, Test flight in a few weeks........

Thanks,
Like the look of the Missiles on the Aircraft.
These were a few photos from the Maiden Flight.
Will add the Missiles & drop tanks on the next round of flights in a few weeks..
