The plane has been labelled in Vic as the GORILLA (T Driver) and in SA as GODZILLA (Cookie)

Thanks to TD for the program he put together. Made the transition to GODZILLA a lot quicker.

TD the undercarriage is still in the plane. Gotta love that.

The new stickers 3W Feel the difference! Simply the best! give a message of what we should use for Freestyle. Compliments of Tina Turner.
Hi Barrie,
Glad to hear the plane is as good as you expected. So size really does matter ??

Now that you have 3.1mt with all the good gear its game on.

GO GODZILLA !!!!

Cheers,
Shane.

Good stuff Jeremy, did you figure out what footprint they are, looks like 0805's but hard to be sure from the photos. One thing I didn't try, was using a Y lead (I don't own one as I don't use them). I'll pick up one this week and try it... if the problem occurs then I'll try replacing the resistor. Looking at the circuit diagram, R2 looks to be a current limiting resistor, I'll try lowering the value first.

lol some sucker stole me idea, nar this one is different, looks harder to get into, but no sideways sway. Dunno about 2 neck straps, you could still use one with this, with 2 loops hanging down.
