Do not Judge, or you too will be Judged. For in the same way you Judge others, you will be Judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to You.

A few flying tips... This looks to be the same plane I bought from Hobby Lobby. I hated it, until I learned how to get it in the air. I love it now.
I was trying to get it up to speed with a hard overhand throw, and it would constantly roll. I now give it a gentle underhand toss and it takes off like a dream. Expect the fuel tanks to rip off. I used cut down popsicle sticks to protect the servo arms, and removed the tanks. It flies great without them. |

Watch is video of the radio control F86 flight. Powered by 64mm EDF
This plane is very addictive. There are some hilarious moment especially the landing. |
