Hope you've seen the recall on the new Powersafe receivers? Im a Futaba guy but, noticed some discussion on FB

What are the issues? If you recall? That's a bummer.

Edit: disregard. Googled it

This one is an couple year old 9020 non PowerSafe.
I'm glad you mentioned that since I was just about to order a new PowerSafe for my Hangar 9 Extra 300X.

Thanks again for the heads up, I was able to score a new in the box 12 channel pre telemetry style PowerSafe from a buddy at the field.

I've been trying to tame a bunch of unruly snakes here lately. Also known as plumbing and wiring this thing. I'm making some headway, but as much as I like my Duralite A123's, I could do without 4 leads coming out of each battery, it makes it hard to make things look neat.

My new wing tube came Friday. I got it from a place called Clearwater Composites. It's a tad on the small side, but I'll wrap it with a piece of clear package tape. I did that on my Pilot Edge and it's worked great for over three years. Plus, I can make the fit just perfect so I don't have to struggle to get it in.

It takes time and patience to make it look good, and I must say yours is looking good and neat. Getting there slowly.
The spark switch in the plane is that instead of a T/A ibec . Or how is being used just interested.

Yes, because I already had it. The SparkSwitch, batteries and receiver were out of my Carf Extra that I just sold.

This is the Frankenstein of airplanes. Wings and stabs rebuilt and modified from an Aeroworks Yak 54. Engine, tuned pipe and servos from my Aerowrks Extra 300 that I sold and SparkSwitch, batteries and receiver were out of my Carf Extra.

Well she's back on her legs. Some how I managed to drop a bolt for the landing gear between the outer fuselage and the pipe tunnel and it has totally disappeared. I'm sure I will find it the hard way some time.

Pipe is in, I hope it's in for good, it's a real pain.

But I wouldn't be able to sleep at night till I found that loose screw.
