My guess is yes the flight time will be short on the 350's. I'm lucky to get 5 minutes on 2s 325 packs on my 32" Crack Laser.

I'll probably use 3s 600 packs on my Fokker.
I see some people wanting to try 2s packs after they have flown 3s packs. What would the difference be?

Only advantage I can see is a weight savings on the 2s. Or maybe it's WAY over powered on the 3s? I might have to give that some thought. I have lots of different packs so I guess I'll experiment a little.

Thanks for the heads up.
 
Thanks for putting up a Fokker thread guys. I can help support you guys with specs, answers etc...

Here's a video for you to show those interested some of the antics that can be achieved. Flaps are cool and elevator to flap mixing is very cool too.

Thanks for posting. I plan on doing some mixing when I am finished.

Next I set up the control rods for the ailerons. This system is pretty neat. Basically a CF rod in between 2 clasps. Set everything at neutral and glue the rod into the clasps. Added the bottom vertical fuse and some bracing.

Elevator control rod. Very simple. Put the little white guides in the holes and thread the rod through. The rear clasp gets a white plastic tube. I had to open up the hole in my clasp a little so the tube fit inside of it.

Landing gear is pretty straight forward. The instructions show how to thread the cf rods. I accidentally used 1 incorrect rod. There are 6 rods that are the same length. 4 are a diameter, and 2 are a different diameter. I used one of the thinner ones on my gear. After everything was installed, I put welders where the cf rods cross. I fill the space in the fuse and it really strengthens things up.
