Oh don't worry about that.....I will fly it pilotless. Make a crate for that thing while you build it also.

Oh, they will both have pilots. However, mine will have something fit for a Texan with the other one still undecided. Maybe it should have a Cajun with Mardi Gras beads or something like that. The IMAC rules require a "realistic" figure you know.

Fixed wing, I too am getting started on my 42%aerotech extra,I will try and incorporate your lightning techniques in mine. I will be watching like a hawk,dont pay ANY attention to sweetpee, he just dont have a clue,(he is pretty good guy,for an officer tho.)

That's it......no more programming help for you Mr. Warren

Build is looking good.....now get back to it!

If shreveport guys get off their rump and have a contest.....you should show up with both planes. That way I can borrow one and compete against you with the same plane

Hello,

Looking good Dean. Let me know if I can help further.

Warren, good luck with your build. Keep us posted on your progress and share any insights you come up with. I know you'll love this kit.

Sam, do you know what dates they are considering for Shreveport?

Jeremy, I'm sure yours will fly and be trimmed out before I finish these. When the weather gets decent I'm going to spend some time flying Aerotech #1 and likely slow down on the build.

Fixed Wing · 02-17-2007, 12:55 AM

These are servo boxes that come with the kit. They are laser cut and real simple to put together. Each weighs less than 2/10ths of an ounce. I'm going to use them because I think they'll distribute the flex load of the servo in the foam better than traditional rails.

Just about finished framing and cross bracing the fuse's. Next task will be to sheet the sides.

sweetpea · 02-17-2007, 01:40 AM

No idea on the dates

Oh my friend! I can help you with that!

I will give you free shipping if you want two 40% pilot heads! You can put beads around them if you like! As you know, they come pre-painted!
