Ok so here we go. Haven't really done a complete build thread before so bare with me on this. If I get sidetracked, ya'll have the right to "Gibbs" slap me on the back of the head.

First, my setup:
Power:
DLE 111 (V3) Bowman Rings,
DA120 Headers, MTW 75 Canisters
Falcon CF 28x10 prop,
CF Ultimate spinner. (cuz I like the way they look)

Radio Equipment:
Smart Fly Power Expander Pro with Pin and Flag fail safe switch.
Hitec HS7954SH (8) 4 Aileron, 2 Elevator, 2 Rudder.
Hitec HS5665MH (1) Throttle
Fromeco 7.4 volt 5200mah rec. packs. (2) Li-Ion
G-Force 7.4 volt 3400mah ignition pack (1) Lipo
TDRC HD extensions and wiring, Multiplex plugs for ailerons.
And for guidance, JR XG11 DMSS 2.4g with RG1131B rx. My first JR radio so I may be looking for input from any of you that are much more knowledgeable at setting this up than I. Especially the RG1131B rx. Someone please jump in and give me some input on the best placement of the antennas and the antenna/telemetry satellite. That "IS" what it is, correct? Would it be advisable to get a longer extension for the satelite?

And of course many assorted needed items. Especially the GSN decals. "NO" build would be complete without them right?

Next, I bought at the local Wally World a couple of "REALLY" cheap clothes racks for building stands. $6.00 a piece and work awesome. Thanks to Earle (@Pistolera) for this great idea. Shrinking the covering always seems to be so mundane and time consuming but has to be done.

Back on topic!!

OK, that's really because I'm jealous and have always wanted one of these in the worst way. I have the 170cc version just don't get it out as much as I'd like.

I got a pretty good start this evening before I called it a night. "Meshed" the rudder and elevator extensions and strung them down the fuse tube. Installed the rudder servos in the back because I really don't like cable and I wanted to be able to keep the balance good without having to add any weight. Hopefully it will come out right.

Next I did a little "mock" up and placement of radio equipment. I think this is pretty much how it is going to lay in the fuse. May make many alterations before it is final. Time will tell....

And of course I had the "Boss" watching me the whole time to make sure I did it all right....I wouldn't have posted his mug shot except he is definitely RC Airplane related. Pop-Top is his name. Yeah...He likes Jeff too. LOL. More to follow tomorrow.....
