Does anyone have the product codes for the correct film to match the yellow sport scheme? I'm after the dark blue and the yellow used on the booms. Recovering for a friend, have a yellow which is...

You don’t need the BVM high temp paint under the turbine, it’s just not necessary.

Carbon blocks radio signal, so unless it’s something which looks like carbon I wouldn’t bother. Better just to use some thinned finishing resin and spray to match a colour from you scheme.

I used Ashlok connectors as they can't come apart. Don't think its worth adding any special connections, it is so quick to put together....keep it simple etc.

I went with a different horn on the elevator but standard horns on all the other surfaces. Seen plenty flying with standard horns but it's your model so fit what you prefer.

You don't need to spend 150 quid on two aileron servos for an Xcalibur. I've used Align servos for years and they have been bullet proof. My Xcalibur flew faultlessly on 0252 mg Savox servos on all...

I flew my Xcalibur of a short grass strip. Was off in less that 40m with take off flap. If I caught a bump it could be airborne sooner! You will have no problems.

Steve,

I use Align servos a lot as well. Take a lot of abuse in my heli's so will be perfect in your jet.

Looks fine to me. My Jetmunts didn't stick out very far and I had no issues with heat. Don't pull the turbine too far back as you will have to compensate with balance weight in the nose.

From memory it was about 6 - 8mm at the root of the aileron. Made a big difference on days when there is little wind. If we have a breeze down the strip you could land in a really short distance.

Mine was set up to deploy when you select full flap. Had it set up to slowly deploy the same as the flap so no an instantaneous action. It's a very subtle effect as long as you don't go silly with...

No restrictor in mine or anyone else who I know has one. The standard air retracts are pretty bomb proof.

Never had an issue with the canopy, seems to slip on with no effort. A friend has added a former but it's more to aid engagement of the canopy than strength.

You shouldn't need to go silly on the wing bolts. The bolts screw into a steel nut not just the plastic. I normally fit one wing, make sure the tube is fully engaged, then slip the other wing on. Can...
