I hope they both are doing well.

The only thing that I know is that @49dimes was not well but @stangflyer needed a break or he was burnt out.

Well got the nose extended for the next motor and with this extension I will not have to add 6 oz of lead to the front of the plane. Just have to wait for the epoxy coat to dry and then all that needs to be done is final sanding and put on some covering.

Well engine is in and roughly setup. Checked the balance and that also worked out good. Just have to setup the radio with the new JR-DMSS especial receiver, that is the reason the plane is being resurrected to try it out. If it works out it will be going in a lot bigger and better plane.

Ok going through my draws and stumbled on a Cortex that I had purchased a number of years ago. At that time I got frustrated with it and could not get it to work the way I needed to work. So this time I gave it another try, but also decided to hook it up to my pc and get right into the software. Did a complete update and then did a complete new setup the way I believe I need it. Got rid of all the head hold settings and programmed it for normal on all settings and configured it for digital servos only. Which took awhile but it is all done and installed into my 35cc Decathlon. The Cortex is installed into the plane and everything is bound and went through the teach process. All checked out and working as required, now all I have to wait for spring to try it out.
The gyro is set up as follows. Position one is gyro off, position two is normal flying and gain set at 20%, and position three is slow speed. Position three will have high gain and low stick priority for takeoff and landing.

Had some time tonight in the shop after home projects and holidays have kept me away for a few days.
Finished the installation of the PowerBox Competition SRS in the Python.
All programmed, servos matched, satellites located, wires tidy, and ready for flight.
