Built me a removable upper deck today for my camper shell. Nothing heavy duty but more than sturdy enough to haul a couple extra planes to the field.

Made a simple deflection meter (in MM) from a t-pin and scrap light ply and got my EDF jet all dialed in where I want it and got both elevator halves traveling equally up and down. Just need some good weather now for some fun and sun 
.
Broke out the left wing panel of the Pilot 330sc to start repairing it. Hopeful that the fuse will get here soon
. Been 3 months now since I ordered it .

Try a 1000KV in-runner on 3S with a 5x4.5 APC. Ballistic! for 3S. Use a 50amp ESC

1000kv is a bit too low on the rpm, that would swing a much larger prop very easily. We suggest a 2900kv 35mm outrunner with an APC 6.5x5.5 prop on 3s, I have a 2600kv outrunner I need to swap shafts to get to work but I think it should fly it well.

I had a 35mm 1000kv 5x4.5??? on 3S 2000mah on one and it zipped pretty good 110+-mph. You must be looking to break 160mph and out run the radio signal
. And now that I think of it you are absolutely right about a bigger prop. I think it was a 6x5 not a 5x4.5 but I did have a 5x4.5 on something??? Dag gone it just can't remember.... may be the other popular speed wing. Messed around with them for a season or two . Loads of fun.

I think you need a cheeseburger to get your brain trackin straight again
35mm 1000kv outrunner is what's in my 48" Slick, swingin' a 13x6.5 on 3S 2200's.
The stock powerpack for the FJU runs a 35mm 2900kv outrunner on 3s, and swings a 6x5.5 prop.

1000kv at fully charged 3S 12.6 volts is 12600 RPM. At 4.5" of pitch that's about 54 miles an hour. Now @ 2500KV, now your talk'n.I had a 35mm 1000kv 5x4.5??? on 3S 2000mah on one and it zipped pretty good 110+-mph. You must be looking to break 160mph and out run the radio signal
Kelly, the cholesterol from all those cheeseburgers is cutting off the blood flow to you noggin.

Ain't that the truth Doug
. But hey....A nice nap seems to make things all better. Now where did I put that cheeseburger??? 
Woke up from my nap and actually accomplished getting the repair started to the wing
. As long as I don't have to do math I'm movin' right along . Just need to make a filler piece then sheet over the holes and add the cap strips ( removed old ones due to damage) to the wing root and inside edge. Then sand and recover .
