Less plane shenanigans lately. Shoved this thing in there where I normally work on airplanes :gnashing:

It is done, and one more plane added to the fleet. Now all I need is a good day to do a maiden on the plane. As it is done the weather forecast sucks the next 3 to 4 days windy and rain, patience.
Nice thing is the plane is 1000 square inches and came in at 8 lbs and with a WQL of less than 8. Also power ratio of over 325watts / pound So I believe it should be able to do most aerobic manoeuvres.
This was also my fist PowerBox installation, it took some time and patience but it is done.

This is what happens when the weather goes for a s**t cold and raining cats and dogs again it will be days before the flying field dries up. So decide a set of wing bags and a set of propeller covers will help prevent some hanger rash.

It has been an interesting past few days flying and settling up the Powerbox equipment and Gyro. The radio was reasonably straightforward and I managed to get it done. The gyro is complex but not to difficult just to find were to change what was at times difficult to find but getting there slowly. Really like the radio and some of the test flights with the gyro was impressive and do not have it fully setup yet.

I thought about switching to Powerbox as my 14SG got older but found a good deal on an 18SZ and generally get 10 years out of a radio. Maybe the next one……
