Thanks Bill. Any issues with the bigger batteries fitting in or changing CG?

Re: Parkzone F4F Wildcat

I have 109 with 20 flights on it using turnigy 2200mah 3 cell 8 min flights using only 1600mah per flight, this flys easy very forgiving , it will tipstall if you fly too slow. The plane is completly stock using three bladed prop .

I got the F4F Wildcat for my birthday . Flew it with the stock 1300mah parkzone battery. I happen to have 2 turnigy 1300mah 3cell sitting around used them too. I Maidened it last sunday i had four flights . i had no issues with the plane flew for 6 min flights using 600 mah from the 1300mah batteries. The plane flew very well no bad habits , not as fast as the 109. I had to add 1/2 oz of nose weight when i first set up the CG . I will take 1/4 oz put an see how it reacts.

I just love these planes just so relaxing to fly doesn't leave your knees knocking and your knuckles white at an end of a flight.

Re: Parkzone F4F Wildcat

Have you guys seen what Capt TYPHOON did with his plane posted in the scale section of these forums?




He really did a bang up job detailing it. It looks so amazing, and the in-flight photos look so real. Check it out if youhavent already :

Re: Parkzone F4F Wildcat

I did get two maiden flights in today with the F4F Wildcat, in stock form....
It flew very well, with only minor trimming.

Thanks,

The F4F Wildcat was fun to fly. A little windy, but the wildcat handle it well.
The only change will be, a three blade prop from the corsair.
A larger 2200 lipo and a 30 ESC if needed.
