Nice looking foamie Kelly. But I think you fell asleep with your finger on the Post Button.
:p

LoL you so funny.....:laughing:. What I think happened is that at the time I posted that I ran out of HS data. Going to go get Mediacom HS internet and get away from T-Mobil Hot Spot. 10 Gigs of data did not last a week. BIG RIP OFF!:thumbsdown:

Flying weight with two 4S 3300 bats is supposed to be 6 pounds two ounces. And guess what? Yep.I was wrong. It has 13 friggen servos o_O
That is a lot that could be as much as a pound in weight just in servos. You going to need a lot of Y harnesses. The inside is going to one big spaghetti mess.

Yeah they really pile in the servos in the scale foamies. My Mig has 8 plus electric retracts. 9 in a Stinger 90. Those use a splitting board instead of Y harnesses.

No pictures right now, will come later got the stabilizer back in place and as square and parallel as possible. Hope when stiffen up the-last section of the fuselage just ahead of the stabilizer I can still make some adjustments while clueing some braces. Made a little progress again will interesting to see how the balance and weight turns out, time will tell.

Almost got the Eagle assembled today, if not for hitting a wall mid day I might have. When I pulled the pants out and seen the gaping hole I remembered it broke up a bit when the leg broke, that aggravation was the wall. So I will spend the weekend repairing and repainting the wheel pant. Other than the pant the cabane cover with ten screws is all that is left.

Like Doug's Mig and My Avanti S it has an integrated circuit for lights, Ailerons, Flaps, Gear/Gear doors. It was not pre installed like my Avanti S was. Lots of wiring connections I have to do on this one ;).

Great camera and all is good do not need to stand on my head. Nice video and really clear and focused.

The "field of view" is 140 degrees but the video shows best clarity about 90 degrees. It gets a bit fuzzy after 95 degrees.
Here is a video of the same flight but from "pilots view" taken with my new Hero5 session.The video quality on you tube is substandard to the actual video. It's in 4K. Not going to pay them a fee for that :thumbsdown:.

Just spent the last several hours replacing the lower element in my water heater. Changing the element is simple. But cleaning all the gunk out of the bottom of the tank has to be one of the worse jobs on earth. o_O
