Even after 10-15 flights I open the battery bay and check the bolts , usually get an 1/8 of a turn on the nuts till its snug , from vibration and compression of the wood...

    PAU Ultimate assembly

    Just warning you the plywood in the PAU doesn't have the same strength of the plywood we get here , don't tighten the motor mount bolts too tight as the firewall wood will compress. It doesn't take much to damage the landing block or crack the glue joints .

    Photos of the damage fuse and the last photo is the maple block I install instead of the L brackets . I used a donor fuselage i recieved from Herve and used the parts to trace and cut new brackets and such . This is now my backup plane i'm using to break in a new DA 120 on Pro Flow pipes

    The same with my Extra two large rectangle opening in the cover for the exhaust . I had to cut two to fit my tuned pipes also enclosed the area with balsa so the heat has a place to exit . Two canister brackets were install for the pipes and one for canisters .

    Acerc I have had three PAU Extra's and would advise you to fill all the joints that have cracks . These model a produce in very damp condition and then dry out in a sea container for six to seven weeks . So I just used hysol expoxy in all the main cracks in the airframe . Looks like the same red...

    Question? What's good in cheap servos these days?

    Bartman how did you hear of Promodeler , Military grade servos sound like they would put up with all that vibration our engines produce and it kills electronics fast . Like the 25 tooth spline , might have to try these in 2019 always looks for better equipment. Thanks Russell
