Pitviper51,
Sorry to change the subject here, but what APC prop are you running on your micro Suhkoi? How did you mount it to the prop shaft?
Thanks, Travis

Thanks, Travis

not sure what APC prop he has, but i am running a GWS 5x43 and for mounting, i bought 4mm to 1mm wooden adapter and glued it in the hub of the prop and it threaded right onto the SU26 prop shaft.

yep thats the one. huge difference from stocker, and you get prop to ground clearance. the gws number is 5043. no work on mx2 today but i did get my goodies! dang this hacker is tiny and has some killer strong magnets. halloween stuff tomarrow to, so ill maybe get it working sunday, but i hope to get out and fly my qq yak.. gotta try before the waether really gets stupid .. tho from the ways it raining i may need floats hah.

RJ, i will paint on a SN# kit 1 onthe wing haha its kinda cool having the first of something in production run of corse. after looking at the close control rod attachment points, is a really long servo horn really needed? the 3114s have fairly long horns included.. and i want barn doors hahah

No, the tail surfaces will be fine with the stock long 3114 arms. The aileron geometry is a little better with a long arm though, but the stock arm will work fine here too, and you should still get full throw. Barn doors you will have!

Nice!

Our indoor freestyles are limited to 2 minutes, if that's what you mean. If you mean battery life, you should get around 3 to 4 before you start losing power, depending on how you fly...

Don't worry Chris, your secret's safe with me!

I think a 1oz bottle should be good for at least 3, maybe 4 of them...
