Yes sir, I did. Need one?

Also, in HHS previous picture, it was Snowdog on the right, and Enterprise on the left.

Yes looks nice. I will be flying 1270's on my MXS.

With respect to all of the pilots I have to say that Brian's flying was awesome, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you and I hope that ARCA will do this again.

[MENTION=271]Enterprise[/MENTION] maidened his new plane less than 24 hours after purchase even after having to replace ALL the electronics... Way to go Matt

Why did he replace the electronics? Did he fry them?

HE did not. The ESC did.

 

[Ohio AV8TOR]

HE did not. The ESC did.

What brand?

Gecko 155A I think. Suspected internal BEC failure. I'm sure Matt will start a thread for his new plane and describe his build experience in the RedwingRC forum.

I'm going to get back on topic sort of, and throw in a few quick pics:

Yes Gecko 155A made the magic smoke. I will deal with the electronics when the proverbial smoke clears. After all that one of the 7955s was not centering. Lots of gremlins with gear, nothing to do with the plane. The actual build took about 8 hours with 2 people and that is with having to completely hinge it. I recordered it in time lapse with my gopro, just have to figure out how to put it into a video and it recorded it as a ton of stills.

We will retool and get the plane flying this season with a different setup.

The club is very well organized for events and was very welcoming. I have heard of this club described on RC Today show and now I see what they are talking about. Nice facility.
