    Oh, I talked to Colton today about my motor... he says it looks broken in correctly, shows no damage from me knocking off one tip on a wood prop on that flatspin landing... and... gets 200 rpms more than a typical DA-170. :sneaky: He says the timing is right on and not to worry about blowing...

    3cell packs with efficient highend switching regulators adjustable to any voltage (The Grizzly system)... providing you with a sustained voltage throughout all your flights until you need to charge.

    I moved the EQ-10 up just behind the fuel tank (now I'll have to make up new longer extensions for the elevator servos, doh!), and I'm going to put the RX packs up by the motorbox (I want them easy to remove, but as far forward as possible)... both in an effort to move the CG forward.

    I would like to do one modification to it for strength around the servo screw. And, also make two models of it to cover 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, and 7/8. This one covers 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1". You don't need to buy expensive "tensioners"... just chamfer a DUBRO ball joint. :)

    Works perfect! Since I had the covering off I went ahead and crossed the cables (for a smaller exit hole -- the factory slot is really long), setup better resolution (max travel now requires 130 end point vs 100 end point before), and I have slightly better geometry on the non pulling cable (it...

    @Terryscustom cut me out some fiberglass parts. The rudder servo arm should tame any pull/pull rudder geometry. :) I need to get Terry's email and paypal him some money!:way_to_go:

    I'm gluing in two hinges to the top and bottom of the rudder now... so there will be 6 hinges (although 8 wouldn't be bad).

    Decided to fix a few things that were bothering me from the start, as long I am at it. One was the rudder hinges, I never liked that there are/were only four. The top one came out after 2-3 flights. I pinned it with an 1/8" hardwood dowel... that was the only one that was hard to get out, the...

    Because I have three planes out there, but none of them are RTF! Son of a beeotch! haha I should have had @Tavis fly out a couple of weeks early for the event and put all this stuff together! haha

    You know... I was just thinking about something. I always used to program my servos. But, now even with a SmartFly EQ 10... I am just using the radio. The servos all on their own channel. But, when programmed and/or programmed with the EQ... if I accidentally have the plane on without the radio...
