I have posted these before, but just for you, here they are. The big guy is Jack Sheeks.
The first picture is of the model disassembled for transport.
Second picture is fueling the tanks for test taxi prior to first test flight.
Third picture is during taxi test on left engine only. Had problems of getting the fuel line into the fans. Fuel tanks are ahead of the engines in the removeable nose.
Fourth picture is of Jack and I with the F/A-18A. Big model that weighs 11 lbs.
Controlled with U/Tronics 4 channel system for throttle, flaps and leading edge droop(2 channels required).
