Back on the bench for a complete review and stab change. For those that haven't seen this before, the F18E has been waiting for Shearwater to re-open, so this will be ready for its maiden next spring.

Power is by a Merlin 160.
If you want to see internal pics, let me know..

I had some pics, but I had no app on my Tablet to resize/resave in a smaller format. Here they are...

Need a pilot for this, and I think I have a spare one from the other F18 delivery...

Skymaster shipped 6 pilots with the other F-18, so since the cockpits are the same, and the other one only needs two pilots, it was a no brainer. The added weight of the cockpit and pilot will make it easier to balance with new LiFe packs.

In the pics above you can see two regulators, but these will be removed since I will not be using NiCd rx batteries.
The receiver will also be pulled and switched over to a 6014HS 2.4 version.

And for those that were wondering, the fuse is 95" long and the turbine is a Merlin 160.
