Damn I'm hungry
Got the 72 boxed back up and Avanti S unboxed. Very nice 80mm sport EDF foamy :). A bit of work to do with it starting with programming the Aura 8 and tucking it inside the fuse with two remote DSMX RX's. Going to re route some wiring too and clean up the battery bay. I have read some reports that guys have hit 140mph with the stock 12 blade fan :on_the_go: using 70C 6S packs! Oh boy! one :oops: and IB getting another one :D.

Somehow managed to hit the powerlines this last weekend, I just barely skipped the right wheel off of them. But it was enough to crack the gear plate loose, and crush some of the siding. Pulled the left side loose in January, and now the right side. Didn't even notice until I went to break the airplane apart, thought I had just broke the wheel pant off. :oblong:

Onto the bench. Guess I hit them harder than I thought...

Reoriented much of the balsa and ply and saturated everything with thick and thin CA since there was enough gap to get epoxy in. Hopefully it'll be enough to hold for a long time..

The only thing I need now is some white covering to cover up the repairs. Since the stock wheels are giving out, and there's a big chunk missing from one wheel that made contact with the powerline, I opted to fit my White Rose wheels and axles. UPGRADE BABY!!
