Actually the tube is shared with my Panzl since I couldn't fly both at the same time. All the other stuff is going to a buddy that has one almost ready to go also.

Told him to coat the entire inside of the forward fuse in epoxy.

Thats what I did on mine - Z-Poxy on all the joints. Adds a couple of oz's... but works.

The hardware is nice - strip it off too.

Holy *****!

Mine hit a cell tower 100ft up head on and fell to the ground - it looked 100 times better than that! They must have used no glue at all!!! It looks like it just shattered!
