    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Nice job Rob! The Dub 70 sounds good on the pitts :attaboy:. Going out to maiden my pitts as well in a few. Hopefully the Aura 8 will take out the coupling associated with the pitts design.

    Hey David, Thanks. Personally it was not my first choice of a scheme but it was the only one left at Chief when I purchased the plane. It has grown on me though and those damn wheel pants are too! Go Figureo_O.

    Something along the "lines" holds my interest here. I wonder if some stickers would help my appearance as well? :laughing:. Giant Scale News sticker down the side where "one team one mission" is and my birth year as the race number. Radio logo and Pilot- RC bottom of wings.

    Potenza question

You must not power down though to see as it "resets" the failsafe indication if you do power down. In...

    :yesss: The scheme is a bit "loud" but with the right graphics I think I can make it "POP". Reversing the colors on the new landing gear helped a lot. The "Sbach" wheel pants and paint scheme need to go :thumbsdown:. Extra 300 style wheel pants painted black with the top half white and a red...

    Welcome. Not to worry.....I could not get a response on FB with my "Dancing with a RockStar" vid either so I 86'ed it (Well three of my closest friends liked it) I'm just a "non viral" kind a guy :lol2:. My involvement is going to be "limited" because I do need to take better care of myself...

    Got the 10 year old DL50 mounted back on the airframe. The new stand offs put it at the sweet spot. G2 DX8 and AR8000 receiver should be here Friday. Just need to finish mounting pants, install radio and batts. Balance and go FLY:).

    RCGF 10cc gasser

    These smaller RCGF engines seem to be awesome little motors! Just converted a glow 120 size Zlin 50 for a friend to gas (he had it as an electric). The RCGF 26 beam mount ran perfectly out of the box. Instant throttle response and a really smoothe transition. Yanked his 12 pound plane straight...
