Now finish with... Vallejo, humbrol or we used cheap spray cans... take care for the vacuumformings as
some paints will not hold as good, or worse will dissolve or make it brittle, use a primer
Place wing, place canopy, check CG, Go Fly.
Have you found an error in the drawing or parts or instructions, just mail us at
I am sure we can find a solution for your build.
Some tips:
Do not make it tail heavy, and Do not make it nose heavy
Flying:
The F84 easy lifts off with a bit of flap (10-15mm)and is easy to fly and is fast, landing: plan it in and
land it as usual a bit of flap (10-25mm) a bit of throttle is ok , landing can be slow the F84 glides very
well with wheels in in case of ….
A 8S 5000 battery is powerful enough,
Make Centre of gravity as on the drawing we used the forward part of the range this worked out very
well, in reversed flight it need down elevator so you might want to get back a little , also you need to
adjust your elevator throws with a more rearward CG
Throws of the rudders etc., we like them big, we steer just around the centre of the sticks but it might
be too much for you so always, make them large and have a dual rate button in your fingers, to small
throws is most of the time problems, to large... it is in your fingers
If you need additional pictures, check the disk or just ask.
Have a good build and flight with the F-84F
