    How to dye epoxy??

    Bartman, next time try packing the gap with baking soda. Make a fillet with your finger. If it isn't right just blow it away. She. You get it right, drip thin CA onto it. It seals the gap, turns clear, and looks like the color of the underlying covering.

    I've heard great things about them. Something about the look just gets me, though. Something about the shape of the cowl. Looks good on you though, lol. I'd love to see your setup on it. When you get it flying, one of us will have to do some driving.

    3DHS 72" Extra - Motrolfly 4330-206kv on 12S

    I just flew my 78 Extra with the same 4330-206 with a 20x10 today. With the Revo 435 blend I ran it up to 3300 Watts.

    It Flies! Just one flight. Tried yesterday but the rain caught me. Had to go early to beat the rain, but got it up and trimmed for straight and level. Now the trim work begins.

    Favorite connectors

    I have seen a pilot with the ec3 use snap ring pliers to in plug his. He drills 2 small holes for the tips. Easy as pie. I am switching all mine from deans to powerpoles, though.

    So quickly, this is how I did my programming with a Futaba 12FG. Measured the deflection on all surfaces. When unequal, the surface with the most movement was reduced to match the opposite by using the end point function. The AFR function was then used to set the rates according to the manual. I...

    Lesson #2 for today: don't crimp a power pole over a tinned battery lead on a castle ESC. The connector pulled off while I was programming the radio. Got her all programmed up with dual rates and expo suggested in the manual. It looks like the elevator halves are working in unison, so that is a...

    Spot on V2 arms arrived today and were installed. In other good news, the Gorilla Glue that got on the covering comes off very easy with debonder. I will be installing the pull cables shortly and then it is time to figure out the dual elevator servos. This is the first time I work with them...

    Weighed the airframe with the remaining hardware. Looks like the plane without batteries will be 10lbs 1oz. With 4600mah Revos All up weight should be 12lbs 13oz.

    IMAC Extreme Flight 78" Extra

    Since I couldn't fly, I ran up the DM 4330-205 with XOAR 20x10 on the Revolectrix 435 blend lipos. At WOT 70 amps, 47 volts for 3200+ Watts. I'm pretty sure it will get off the ground.
