    The way the voltage drops on my LiPos with a 1 amp load makes me wonder if we shouldn't be running these "crickets" all the time. I need to setup some of this new-fangled telemetry and figure this stuff out. haha Who knows, maybe lith-ion running crickets is better than LiPos. I don't know...

    Footuhbuh still hasn't released a failsafe receiver... I'm going to be running two 7008SB receivers.

    I'm not certain about this stuff right now. My OCD is in a tailspin. haha Point one, LiPos seem to be badass with their quick charge and discharge ability. LiPos have a high sustained throughput rating. Downside to LiPos is they've always made me nervous, just check out the videos of them...

    Okay, back to the assembly. I mentioned that everything on the plane was a perfect fit... wings, tubes, anti-rotation dowels, all bolts and blind nuts, et al. But, I did finally find one thing that I had to fix/adjust. I had put the cowl on, and I had put the hatch on, but I had never bolted...

    In a lot of the pictures she reminds me of Ann Margaret. You guys are probably way too young to know who that is. haha

    I made that last image 900pixels and the site didn't seem to reduce the quality as much as it is the others. I'll do some high res links eventually. But, Naughty Monkey is right... time to get the plane RTF to start having some fun! :)

    Good catch! haha I do worry... about everything! haha I am a chronic worrier. lol I had it in my mind to work out an elongated grommet there. I wanted to make one for my choke servo slot on my Sukhoi, too (for looks). I did sand the plywood edges round, and ran my fingers over them until I...

    Did the photoshoot today! Monkey was telling Kylee, "Easy now darlin', don't squeeze me so tight, I'm not even sure I could fit you into the rotation". haha 6am, I snapped the first picture. After, I looked in the camera's display window, then looked up at Kylee and said, "We're done, we...

    I soldered on the PAD to the Dean's connector along with the servo lead: This grommet works out to be a nice keeper for the elevator extension. I had to remove it, then squeeze it to get the Dean's connector through. Then re-install it. After that the Dean's connector cannot fall back through...

    Welcome to the thread, Mr. Anderson! Last night I got the elevators done. With this setup my servo arm moves 55 degrees each way from the TBD center, so that my elevators move 48 degrees up and down on the AW throw meter. My radio end points are set to 130/130. So, I have pretty much maximum...
