    Nice, looked very stable in the harriers.

    Let me know when.... It's only about an hour and a half from me. Bringing the mx2, or is this a Tony thing?

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    The rudder servos are tucked up under the horizontal stab, so don't worry about how they look. Just let it go. As for the motor, I have to agree. My other MX-2 had a DA170 on it, this one has a 3W 157 CS-TS. I think the 157 has noticeably more power, but the other plane was 3 or 4 years ago...

    Can you send me a link to the guy who supplied the fuse protectors?

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    The holes in the rudder horns are definitely drilled for a 3mm bolt, and a 4-40 will wobble justenough to annoy you. I usually use titanium 4-40 turnbuckles.... I put a 4-40 ball link on the servo end, and a 3mm link (supplied by carf) on the rudder control horn end. I also do the same for...

    Sounds like a plan! This 157 CS TS is the first 3W I've owned in 3 or 4 years. They do have amazing power, and it starts very dependably.. can't ask for more than that!

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    I had forgotten how much I like flying this plane.... Very few bad tendencies, easy to mix out, large wing area. And it gets put together at the field a LOT quicker than the pitts!

    Yep, I fully understand.

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    I just scrapped the original rudder mounts and built mounts for the SWB self adjusting tray. Weighs a few ounces, but avoids a lot of headaches.

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    And with just a little bit of baffling made from 1/16 ply, the motor is running in the low 200's during most of the flight. I have telemetry set to vibrate the transmitter if the temp gets to 275, and on one landing today, it started vibrating just as the plane was touching down. That's one...

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    I got my MX2 out both last Sunday and today... started to get some of the mixes dialed in. It takes about 10% aileron differential, maybe 5% rudder/elevator, and about the same on the rudder/aileron. I still have a little fine tuning to do, but it will be a few weeks before flying again...

    Very nice! Is there any way to route servo wires through the cabanes or struts to avoid them showing?

    I got mine back out to the field today, first time flying in probably 6 months. It's still in one piece, so I guess it was a good day.

    Prop database.

    I always use a 28x12 3 blade for the 170. I'm not sure what options Falcon has in that size range.
