IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

Thanks. Look at their list it seems only my two small parkflyer 4 channel receivers don't have the option to upgrade to the new firmware which would be easy enough to replace since the other 12 can be updated. Something to look into as I would like a smaller radio.

go to aloft hobbies, only $69 , can't go wrong

Although the ACCST was by far the most reliable connection , the ACCESS Protocol beats it by a mile , and yes not all receivers will be converted, but then again there are many receivers to choose from at very reasonable prices, so for this I am not worried. But slowly they are upgrading the firmware for many different receivers and soon the X10S Express will be available and a conversion for existing X10's are in the works, I have two so am hoping..

whick will better explain then I could...

I hope they also plan on the ACCESS upgrade for the x12s. I still love mine and really do not like to switch.

Yup was looking at it there yesterday after you first mentioned it. I wonder if the M9 Hall Effect Gimbals will fit it as I love the way those feel in my X9D.

Don't hold your breath , I have been told its not going to happen and I have two of these as well but I could and hope I am wrong

Yes I use the CR 10S, As for holding up, you have to remember TPU is made with Urethane material which is very tough, the belt I made for the alternator never gave me any problems and I had a few made for different sizes and had some of my friends pull on it to break it and they couldn't .
As for holding out I believe it will but until I put the mileage LOL I can only speculate.
In the picture this is mostly the settings in Cura for the CR 10 for TPU, you have to make sure the nozzle if very close to the glass.
If you have problems I'm sure I can help , just let know

Thanks a bunch!

Oh well, I'm happy with it the way it is and the way it works. I'll live with.

yes I am still putting a bit of time on the laser and it going to get more time as fall approaches,

From the electric motor photo, you can tell I will have to make some long standoffs

What about a light weight box with lower gussets? Like PA and others use.

yes that could be a way, but remember, since it is not a vibrating engine, then this is one less thing to worry about, also one of the reasons for the long standoffs, I am keeping some options , should I not like the power of the motor I am going to use, so I can install a more powerful electric motor which I have also, so looking at all options

Does anyone know what this airplane is, by any chance?
