Scale 50% Dalotel 165

I've come to a very startling conclusion. If I had the tenacity to build as Roger, the attention to detail as Earle, The craftiness that Terry possesses, well, I would be a legend in time. Or maybe just a legend in my own mind. LOL...seriously though guys..... you all do some pretty amazing stuff. Just sayin'.....

Here is a short video of the retract servo in action but with no gear leg yet, , I love the speed and the slowing down right at the end of its stroke,

Bwaaahaaahaaaa....... you're a mad scientist you are. Hee hee hee..... So Roger, just curious what that radio is you are using? Couldn't see in the video.

That's his FrSky that he made his own case for. It is totally bad-ass!

Exactly right, its the Taranis from FrSky, since I have been a multiplex user for more then 30 years , and my mc 4000 tray radio was no longer being produced, , and the Taranis is way ahead of its time, I decided to design a casing for it ,had it CNC'd in aluminum . and voila, I love my radio LOLOL

I have been called worst LOLOL

Wow....you just can't do "ANYTHING" on a normal level can you? LOL.... So next question. What is the rx. you are using in your gear test video? I have a suspicion but will await your response. (I hate being wrong) LOL

Normal? LOL what is normal, hahaha. OK the receiver is the FrSky X8R full telemetry receiver with Sbus.
Since the TX is a full 16 channel you can get the full 16 channels by using either two RX's or one receiver and Sbus,
A step further, by using both internal TX module and exterior module, you get a full 32 channels by using two RX with 4 sbus decoders each with each Sbus having 4 channels.

Now get ready for this LOL,, I don't plug any servos directly into any receivers, rather I plug one Fiber Optic encoder into the receiver for each channels I use , this way the receiver doesn't get any current spikes and works at its best., The servos get there own battery with the Fiber optic decoders. And being Fiber Optics, a bad servo can never feed back to the receiver causing a failsafe situation and ultimately causing a crash.

the mockup strut has been added , probably more fine tuning to be done, and possibly slow down a bit, also tried the aileron

The wing is upside down

I'd be a happy camper too Roger. Really cool mechanics you got goin' on there. I also like the encoder strips for your rx. system. Sounds almost bullet proof. All in all a good days work? Oh heck ya....

Keep it comin'....lovin' this a lot.
