IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

Hi Jeff, @Jlc , this is what I did. I moved the fitting so that it is on the angled surface. Of course, I ended up throwing away the other bottle.

All the wiring is complete, and attached.The receivers and antennas are also installed.



the receiver, which is behind F3, on the left side of the picture, has two antennas. I place them so that the yellow tips are at 90 degrees to each other.

There is another receiver in this picture, but this is a receiver for the remote switch. Meaning, there are no switches on the fuselage. I will be able to turn on the radio of the airplane, by using a switch on my transmitter, which is actually a knob.

the third receiver is not pictured here, but it is behind F4, and it is oriented with the tips at 90 degrees from each other, but also, on a different plane as the 1st receiver.
 
Currently, I am sealing the hinge gaps on the ailerons and rudder. and after that, all that is left to do is to make sure both elevators have same center and travel.

After this, she will be 100% ready for the maiden.

Hi Cam,

Glad you are on the mend, I'll give you a call later today.
As for my CG, I have it set at 27 percent MAC, and that works out to 3.75" back from the leading edge tips. When projected tip to tip, and I just checked, it's right at the leading edge of the tube.
As of today I now have 20 flights on my Dalton 300SP all now just flying the Advanced IMAC sequence and there has been no need at all for any trim changes from my first flight two weeks ago, that for me is unreal....Out of all 26 Dalton's I have build this is by far the best one yet...you are going to love it! If you want I'll share with you all of my throws, mixes and such.
