    Thanks Kelly! I just happen to have all those tools, along with some 4-40 taps as well. Thanks again!

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    Nice! Very clean. Did you tap blind holes,or drill through? Reason I ask, is that I do not know what the crank support looks like at the end. I opted for the lazy route this go around. Perfect solution is to drill and tap some holes.

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    Here is what I did to add the rpm telemetry (spektrum TM1000) to my DA 100 without the extra mounting holes already existing. I used an RCexcl hall effect pickup and cut off the mounting ears. Used a fat popsicle stick and cut out where the sensor goes. Had to glue the sensor in upside down to...

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    ooh. I missed the 10c part. You've got some cool stuff going on. That 5 # is very light! I haven't weighed mine.... Regardless, it is one heck of a flyer! 16x8 the way to go? Better punch out of a hover than the 15x7? Are you seeing much temp differences between the two props?

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Interesting. with the Torque motor, the EF 60" extra, and a 15x7 APC I am getting 6.5 minutes on Glacier 6s 3300's (30c) batts at around 22.6volts. Very cool photo! Liking the MXS?

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    Maiden is done! Had another 5 fantastic and exhilerating flights after that! A bit short on photos, but had one hell of a time. One year and eight months of off and on building are now put to rest. Couldn't be happier with the results. Had a bit of scare in the beginning as alarm for high temps...

    Molded fiberglass fuel tanks?

    You need to use a marine grade (or better) epoxy to make a tank. Even then, check for compatibility with the fuel. I believe the gas will soften the fiberglass resin with extended contact.

    Been trying to get this knocked out and have been delinquent on updates...Maiden coming soon! Final touches needed along with setting throws and finish baffling. Engine runs! Painting done, have one sag that I need to sand/buff out - thanks Doug (@Jetpainter) for the tips.
