Good to know....sorry to hear about the damage...that tells me how I should mount the Aileron servos in my 50cc extra.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing.

That's why. I surface mounted mine.. but hey at least yours is in one piece I got locked out some how.. very odd for futaba.. wasn't battery failure cause my ibec was still giving my Ingition power

Got a pretty good flight video.. A few flights before uploading now

Fixed it just in time to hit the end of the allowed gasser time at my silly club. I did weight it. just under 16 pounds with the GT60 and the tru turn spinner, no fuel. It was clearly nose heavy, so I will be using the stock spinner next time out. The OS is a heavy motor, so I can see how a DLE-55 one can be 15.5 lbs with a few other minor tweaks.

I used a powersafe RX which is a bit heavy with 4 satellites.
2 fuel filters so you could delete one of them (1 on fill and 1 on vent)
Not use all the techflex I did.
smaller batteries, I am using 2s 2600s
I used thicker pull pull wire and tensioners.

You running only 1 battery Blake?

 

[bbrown2828]

Nope had dual life threw a smart fly batt share... I still dunno what happened

 

[SnowDog]

that's a real shame Blake....would really like to know what failed. You say you got a lockout on Futaba? that's pretty rare, I would guess.
