Threw my PowerBox and receivers in the Slick tonight. Ran out of daylight to mount the switch, I'll put it in tomorrow.

I pulled the 330 into the shop and added the temp sensors for the Jeti telemetry. I had an EagleTree system in the plane before the radio switch. It will be nice to have the temps on the screen of the tx. I have the temps being read to me every 30 seconds until I am more comfortable that the engine is not getting to warm. I had the plugs out tonight and they were a dark brown. Not oily at all, just dark brown. This reassures me that I have it just a tad on the rich side and it still turns a 29 x 12N 3 blade at 6300 on the ground :) I bought a 29 x 12EVO from Adi and can't wait to get it and see what the difference is. Adi figures probably 7 to 10 business days for it to get here from Israel. Hope it makes it in one piece.

Here is the screenshot to prove what I did tonight :)

Doing a little practicing with my new toy, so far looking good. These things will look pretty kick butt with clear-coat.

@Terryscustom I am wondering about the durability especially on something like a prop. I know you are just getting started but, any experiences on something like that? They do look awesome.

It is automotive basecoat, the print is thinner than basecoat and it get's automotive clear. Holds up extremely well on props, I've airbrushed props in the past with no issues. No rattle can stuff, high end paint and clear. Also the base and print add zero measurable weight on a postal scale, clear will add about .2oz or less.

Also, back of prop is not printed, painted or cleared.....never mess with the business side of the prop.
