Those are real handy, use mine often.

Showed up at last. The receiver for the 20cc ARS 300 skywing. Now I can switch back to the SkyWing and hopefully finish it.

Very cool brother. I had a Redwing RC Stinson Reliant with a DLE 40. It was an awesome flying plane. But the ground manors we horrible. It was hard to get in the air and hard to get back on the ground in one piece.

I think my first build back in 1985 was a Sterling kit, Piper Vagabond, 1/2A size, didn't last long!!! Of course I was smart enough to fly it without any help?

Yeah this kit currently is a tank. the box with everything in it weighs 5 pounds. I know not all of it will stay but i think if built bone stock after all the electronics went in it would be pushing 7ish or more pounds. I plan to remove a lot of weight. Would be nice to get it to be right at 5 pounds RTF. That way I could get away with a good 4S setup.

McMaster Carr is as bad as Amazon. I added several nut sizes to my order.

The Amazon guy showed up today with an ER16 collet set. The sizes that arrived do not match what was advertised but that's ok I already ordered another set of collets on Ebay to complete the three missing sizes, $16 for the set, couldn't buy separate collets for less than $7 each and find the sizes that I needed. An ER32 collet is shown for comparison .
