Keep seeing that MegaMeter you are using looked into it looks like quite the little unit. I may have to get one. How well does it work on servo control and setup.

It works pretty good and is very accurate centering servos. But to use it in that mode a battery must be plugged in to the meter's
"balance" port with the batteries balance plug and no more than a 3 cell lipo. The built in I/R meter will only read a 2 cell lipo. The meter itself will read up to an 8 cell lipo for balance state and capacity. I have been using it for over 5 years now and it has held up well.

Ok all I know it is a boat but would someone give a short discretion of what a Cracker is.

Here you go snoops. This is Ray Hoot out of Escalon. Quite a show they put on, especially with up to 12 boats at once.

Dang, 8-10 min flights is heavenly. Very impressive with agility also.

It looks as if it has turned out the way I wanted . Wish I could show the vid of it with ballistic hover pull outs and a short coupled KE loop to a death slide. Tight end over end water falls to boot. Now weighing 4 pounds 2 ounces it carries well through pop tops and is a KE spin monster. Definitely "Ain't ya mammas QQ300"

3..2..1..Blast off

Nice! So now the wing loading is more like a giant scale. Saweeeeet!! Love those KE death slides...don’t get too mesmerized or...whoops.

Ok that looks like sheet of plywood with the biggest 8V you can bolt onto it and you bring your buddy with and scare hell out of the two of you. That looks fast and a hand full especially on water.

Looks like you have that one figured out nice when spen some money on a plane and it all turns out as you would like.

Drilled and mounted the new Graph Tech landing gear, then drilled it for axles and wheel pants. Took a few hours yesterday and today, but it’s sitting much better now. In case you were wondering why, just zoom in on the last photo to see the delaminations.

Thank's Snoop. Yes success is sweet when something old becomes something new . Hope I don't "dork" it in
