    Futaba 8FG(S)

    Thanks! :thumbup: I don't think so but the 14SG has telemetry. I'm going to be using a R6014HS receiver but it says 4.8-6V. Is the max really 6V? I'm trying to run an HV setup.

    Hahah yeah i started with a Champ too and never imagined going this big. Now that it's here i'm super excited to fly it though :) I got to fly one and it was great! Draws nice lines and is a 3D animal but I can't wait to fly mine on my own setup. I really want it to be ready to fly by next weekend.

    Got one aileron all set up. It was pretty easy matching the servos with the 8FG since i could just do everything from the radio. The Savox 2230s are pretty freakin' sweet! When there is no binding they are dead silent! I mean zero noise....i had to check that my radio was still powered on a few...

    After getting home from work late this evening I decided to set up my elevator linkages. Got them done pretty quick. Tomorrow I'm going to try to install the aileron control horns and linkages.

    Futaba 8FG(S)

    Just got a 8FG so i'll be asking a ton of questions :tongue: This thing is weird to program but i'm getting the hang of it. I think i'll be holding on to A9 for a backup since i've never had any problems with it. I never really wanted one but i'm setting up a 100cc plane and it will be nice to...

    After seeing this all white full-scale Slick i'm thinking of keeping it all white except the stripes on bottom to keep it scale. Just do the stripes for orientation though. Then could just put the letters on the back. http://www.slickaircraft.com/photogallery01.html...

    Here are some more pics of the steps I took to mount the cowl. First I put the cowl on as far as it would go then marked where the mufflers touched the cowl with a pen. Next I measured the distance fro the firewall to the front of the mufflers so I know how far I need to cut to fully seat the...

    Gp-123

    Got my GP-123 mounted up to my 120cc EG Slick. I used high temp red loctite on the muffler bolts and red rtv for the gasket to ensure a good seal. I used a wood mount from VitalRC for the standoff and a couple washers to get the right spacing. Got some M6 hardware, plenty of blue loctite, and...

    Cowl cut out, just needs final mounting. I'll do that after I get my fuel line, throttle servo, and ignition all mounted.

    Mounted the GP-123 tonight. It looks great hangin' on the front of the Slick! I'm excited to fire it up but I need to get a prop first. I'll be getting a Falcon CF 29x9. I used high temp loctite on the muffler bolts and red rtv for the gasket. I shouldn't have any issues with loose mufflers...

    Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying putting this plane together and i'm just taking my sweet time. I just ordered some servo wire to make my own extensions for the rudder servos. Unfortunately my receiver didn't come today so i can't set up my linkages yet.

    Got the ventilation holes cut out. I also installed the control horns on the elevators. First I test fit the horns in the pre cut slots then I marked around the horn with a pen. After that I pulled the horns back out, scuffed them with sandpaper, and cut the covering from where I marked with...

    Got some more work done. Added some Secraft canopy locks and wing bolts for that added bling factor. I also installed the LG fairings, as you can see in the pics I added some black neoprene tubing around the fairings. I also added a second stripe to one wing panel. I'd like to add the stripes to...

    Thanks :) Looking at the wing this morning i noticed that i followed the taper of the wing so my stripe isn't straight. If i do a second stripe i think it would look weird since it would have to be at an angle as well. I'm going to re-do the first one to make it straight then add a second stripe.
