    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    These are from a funfly from last year and was just sent them yesterday. About 20 photos total but only posting a couple. Pretty neat through the process of launching and apparently I make some weird faces doing so.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Everything up front looks great. Servos in the tail should be moved forward some though. Also we normally just mount them going through the fuse. I will find a picture and post it.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I will do the calculations in the morning but to be honest with all of the edges we have done in the Glitter series from the little small Electric one and even the 55cc gasser everyone when I balanced it I would just pick it up between my fingers right where I marked up the picture above. If it...
