Got the cowl at my friends paint shop undergoing plastic surgery. Should be ready after Christmas. Hope to have some pics for all soon. Got some pics of the engine after 4 flights and everything is looking clean and sharp. The new gas tank appears leak free.

Being this build thread is on final approach I have some flight plans being written for a new build as long as the FAA does not shut my plans down. Some parting shots of the 104. She was a beast-mo of a plane but I have sold her to a good buddy and need to get busy cannibalizing so this airframe gets to its new owner.

The flight plan will include a 107" Pilot Edge 540 and most of the cannibalized parts from the 104 with the exception of servos.

I will be running 5 of the BLS H50B servos posted earlier and set the plane up to look on the inside as the one in this thread

Kelly, was there a specific reason you decided to dump the 104 and get a Pilot Edge?

YES. It's what we used to call a "hot" plane. Do the cg one way and low and slow suffers do it the other and you need every bit of the runway to land.

Ah well... that 'splains it. I had a Slick that was that way. Really great flying plane in most respects. Low down on the deck full on mashed gas pedal knife edge passes were insane. Change the CG for more extreme 3D and it was the worst pig to land. But did great aerbatics. Change the CG so it would fly more stable and land decent, and it lost every bit of agility it had. Yup, offed it for a better plane.

Hey Kelly,

I hope you're out of the way of all that nasty weather going on down there. I hope you had a good Christmas Buddy, I sure did. Even though my four little boxes won't show up till next week.

You know, now that you've started talking about a new plane, you're going to have to do a build thread on it. . . . . . .. WE have all survived this build thread and I'm sure we can survive the next one too. . .
