Those with RealFlight.... have we decided RF8 is the way to go and X is not? I've been through RF3.5 on a laptop ten years ago, and 5.5 on the desktop that has become glitch. Got a new X380 laptop headed my direction and I need this back in my life. :p
I am really glad you mentioned this. I was interested in the "X". But I had heard there was some nasty issues. I like my RF8 and have been very pleased with it so...why change right?

Had the Python on the scales yesterday trying to work out weight and balance. Batteries wound up in the tail with the receiver in a tough to reach spot.
Spent hours making the wiring nice. I’m a bit OCD. No, make that CDO (where one is so OCD, the letters must be in order). Was a bit hot in the shop, and I didn’t grab a shot of the finished work before leaving for the day.
Almost have her ready to fly. One more shop day should do the trick!

WHEW! What a crazy past 2 weeks it's been. We moved our ENTIRE Hitec warehouse to a smaller facility (our old warehouse was too big for us for a long time) and it's just been chaotic getting stuff setup again. We finally have phone and data up and going again today :) I'm sure as soon as our marketing team reviews all of the photos I've taken then we will get them posted.

That’s one heck of an offer, and it’s a deal! Hurry up and get here!!
Should I take the train? Or maybe a passenger jet? Or..oh hey, how about the Bus. Naaa…. I know. I will jump in my Behemoth Yak and fly myself there. Course I would have to stop every twenty minutes for some Redline Hi-test blend. Gimmie a little time, and don't start without me. LOL.
Gonna be following your progress. :way_to_go:

Ok everything cleaned up in the shop, so I took my Inverse 33 out of storage and getting it ready to fly it is new build it last winter to about 90% done. So getting the 10% done. Will run the engine hopefully today and get it all tuned up. Check the gas tank install the batteries and check the balance. Set up the radio and then wait for a good day. Do any of you gentleman have advice when comes to an Inverse 33 from Hanger 9.
