    The canister tunnel on mine is painted black...but wide open. I wanted to give my canister as much fresh air as possible. You would never notice it on mine n flight...but I don't hover 3feet in front of my face either!

    So the snags were getting the Central box and the RC switch working correctly as I've never had either before. Once I got a little assist from James at Esprit Model...it took about 2 hours to set up all servos, throws, rates, etc... that would have taken me 2 days on my JR. this system is just...

    Will do...Initial setup was ridiculously easy...hit some snags a bit later tonight but I'm also distressed over the Indians debacle in the World Series tonight so not the best environment to be working on something new...

    Any time! I've got all the time in the world to help more people build! ARF's are a great addition to the hobby...but you lose a huge part of what makes the hobby great if you don't build something at least occasionally!

    Trailing edge of the wings get cap sheeted...but not the tail surfaces. You form the V-shape in the control surfaces by cutting/sanding them. Just filter your way through my build thread...I documented everything I could there. You are going to find you run out of build instructions very soon...

    You can definitely build it lighter than mine...I fully sheeted the tail surfaces with 1/16" balsa because I wasn't comfortable with how twisty they felt (they are just fine on others I've seen) and my support rods/flying wires on the tail are all aluminum (braided wire will be much lighter. I...

    Nonsense!!! I have built many planes over the years, and I'm always trying something new to improve my builds...but I don't possess some unatainable skills. I'm just anal!
