No luck finding an offset arm? Most don’t make a 3” offset, you’ll have to get a 3.5” offset.- AKNick

I hope sooner than later. Weather has been terrible for flying unfortunately. Extended forecast is no better. It’s going to be a waiting game that’s for sure. Nothing worse than having a beautiful plane just sitting there and being grounded due to weather... and life chores... #adulting.- AKNick

Once I got the servo wire in the slot, mine fit pretty good/snug. It’s rare I get a servo to fit in the mfgrs slot the way I want it to ha ha.- AKNick

Darn!! You should be able to make it no problem though. Flat stock aluminum should be easy. Or make your own version! I’m even thinking about making a music wire type. Kindof like J&J makes.- AKNick

Here is a snippet photo from the gopro footage. Pretty fun in an open space!! CG feels nice. Hovers are locked in surprisingly. I took off and landed in all of that area in the picture. It can handle it great.- AKNick

Went out to the beach!!!! Got 1/2hr of flying in before the tide got to me. I have some GoPro video to edit. Golly I love this plane even more now. Definitely going to make a 3” tail wheel eventually. My 2” was getting drug around in the sand.- AKNick

My first (largest) leaf I just noticed was a bit bent. Note I’m on my 13th flight by then. Lots of touch and goes. So yeah. Add something. Or make your own tail wheel spring.- AKNick

Should fly great with either engine. I also had the purple fuel dot LOL! Couldn’t do it, so used Tim’s Blue magnetic fuel dot instead. The only thing to think about with the PMs is the shaft splines are shallower (shorter) than other brands. So some servo arms may not fit. Kindof annoying. I...- AKNick

Did a wingtube hang, empty. It weighs 19.3lbs level flight on the tube. 19.5 with two 2550 2S LiPos. Excellent for hanging a 76cc twin up front. Weighs 1.5 pounds less than my 110” timber with a 55cc LOL!!- AKNick

Nope! Just the one for the first opening in from of the tunnel where they made that neat air exit baffling. They even integrated an air dam into the cowling. Thought about opening up the air dam area in the cowl. But sometimes efficient airflow is better than a lot? With the strait muffs I don’t...- AKNick

I do like it the way it is. It’s springy but yet rigid enough. So if your plane is 20-21lbs like mine... maybe worth whistling up another leaf.- AKNick

Put the cowl and spinner on. Cowl is four Allen bolts, and the spinner is matched painted carbon. All included! You guys know what this means?? I’m done. Just waiting on weather so I can run the engine a do a test flight. I will check my CG first though.- AKNick

Baffled the cowl air intakes. Used craft foam with Medium CA. But first used paper, trimmed and taped in place so I wouldn’t have to guess with the shape and form desired. Worked out pretty good. My mess...- AKNick

Darnit. Sounds like QC missed the third leaf! HH is pretty good about sending stuff that’s broken of missing. Probably not that hard to make either. They could have made it thicker though too?- AKNick

Prop is now perfectly balanced. I have an issue. I left the prop the neoprene sheath and it now feels almost rubberish, and left marks/blemishes on what was a beautiful hard coating. Wondering what’s up? Compound says it’s safe for all finishes. Doubt it’s that because it was washed afterwords...- AKNick

Couldn't help but notice this thread has 10.8k views... in three months! That's like 100-150 views a day. Dang! Weather has been terrible. Lots of rain. In a 48hr period last week we saw 5.5" of rain. Then the low pressure moved away, got clear, 26F for a couple nights... Ooofff Leaves are...- AKNick

Went to balance the prop. Huh... I had to dremel out the lead filled holes they had placed in from the factory. Not going to lie... it was quite a bit too. Somehow I magically managed to heal this prop by painting it. I added a tiny bit of lead back into the light prop side and filled it with...- AKNick
