Nice little exit hole now, with a chrome cover.

Oh, I talked to Colton today about my motor... he says it looks broken in correctly, shows no damage from me knocking off one tip on a wood prop on that flatspin landing... and... gets 200 rpms more than a typical DA-170. He says the timing is right on and not to worry about blowing the motor up, it's just a little more powerful than most.

Off topic. haha

You guys ever race radio control trucks?

Quite impressive Joe. Good job.

Nice! I sucked at it. I could run in second with no problem, but as soon as I got in the lead that invisible hand would grab me around the throat and I'd crash.

Nothing but airplanes my entire life. My dad and uncle are (were) aeronautical engineers and I've loved anything flying since day 1.

Pylon racing airplanes, now that is a blast!

Been busy, but got a few things done since last I posted:

1) I yanked the four elevator extensions and added 12" to them as I moved the Smart-Fly EQ-10 forward since I was so radically tail heavy.
2) I zip tied them back in place.
3) I setup the RX battery mounts in the motorbox, again because of the CG.
4) I painted the motorbox to clean it up some.
5) After dinner tonight I called Buttface ( @Tavis ) to keep me company while I spent a couple of hours covering the fuse. I'm putting it back stock as I am too tired to change the wing covering for the event. Just need to pick up a roll or orange and I'll knock it right out.
6) I went ahead and bolted on a couple of Smart-Fly digital volt meters.
