This is my second and probably last entry to Mustang51's challenge. It's my best hellcat model yet. I'm really happy with the way this came out bu I don't know how to fix the flexing wings. I used two rotators on each wing so it could fold, but now when you pitch up or down the wing flexes dramatically. Its not a big deal but it bothers me a little. But nonetheless it flies great! 1=nav lights 2=arresting hook 8=wing folding G=LandingGear. Hope you enjoy!
