3D Big Ailerons

Sweet!! One thing I did on both mine is to cut a hole in the bottom of the engine box right under the carb. Since they like to be a bit wet to start I noticed I get a drop or two on first start of the day. Has been working awesome with an oval shaped hole. I'm guessing the 180 will keep most of that fuel inside so it probably won't drip as much.

I was going to message Tavis but have not yet, but what's your target prop on this beast for low and slow fun on the deck?

I did not think about that Terry! Thank you for the tip, I will cut a hole tomorrow. I am planning to maiden it next Saturday 10/17

Planning on it. Hopefully I can make it last that long

Better yet, come down south a couple hours and come huck with us sometime! I'm sure we'd all love to see that big DA200 powered BJ down on the deck doing some low and slow again

No need to wait for Nall

Saved the best for last and finally got around to the wings. The geometry was a bit different than the standard wing. The servo on the end is rotated due to the wing being so thin. The servo wire for the outer servo exits forward of the wing tube so I couldn't use a multi pug for all three servos. The wing spars are solid in the core so I didn't want to drill through them for the end servo wire.

Not sure how the ailerons will react in different flight situations so I put them on a three position switch until I get the characteristics sorted out.

I have not weighed it yet but these wings are without a doubt feeling heavier than the standard Pilot Extra 300 due to the extra strengthening.

Should be interesting!

So is it ready for a maiden?
