Hey guys. When I was working on my plane last night I found that one of the bolts from my DA50 had broken off inside the threaded hole so I cant get it out. Will have to go to a machine shop, also the other remaining bolt had stripped the motors thread. They couldnt hold up after the two loose ones fell out.
So it looks like I wont be flying saturday. I suppose it gives me time to prepare Peters plane for sunday and maybe even start fixing my 33%.

@Jason. Yeah, Peters' plane is the same as mine, the clones. Lol!

Had to go for small mufflers here because the standard MVVS were to big. Later

Peter Please just make sure that the ING batts are OK that the throttle servos is working and that the motor isn't too lean LOL And if D has to make a unsheduled landing tell him to go around another time and don't land down wind..........................

AGG forget about D I will organize for Louis Granada to come help you out he will do things with your plane that you never thought poss LIKE REDUCE THE LENGTH OF THE NOSE WITHOUT EVEN LANDING ...........COOL

Good luck Im sure Damein is itching to get his hands on a CA 330again

[saflyer]

Trev remember what I told you about Louis.

I'll never let him fly my planes, not even come close to them. I'll stick one of the ostriges or a hippo on him when he comes to the vlei.

[Gus155]

trev, you must come fly some serious slope with us down south, other side the Boerewors Curtain.
Well, not this week end cause theres no flipping wind.
the Ostriches, had one sort of chase me round the car on sunday.

[Bushman]

Well im impressed
I did not look at this tread for a day and you guys are on pg 18 allready.
Trev where are you situated and I can check shipping of the Raven. I will see what is better from Israel or China as far as shipping cost.
You can also get it with a power combo from Axi.
Did you pull the extra from the molds yourself?

See ya all later

Hey Alex Im in Cape Town
I got two of the fuzzes from a buddy here in Cape Town 1 for backup.
The fuzz is really nice and scale ........They came with wing templates for foam wings. But I didn;t like the airofoil they had so I desighned my own wings + tail and thought becuase I have never built a built up wing in my 20 years of moddeling before I would try it I wanted it to be really light ( ONLY A 3D PLANE ). Well the wings came out extreemly light but my built up building isnt on par. So I will do another set of foam wings soon. But it will fly no problem with the built up ones.

Cheers Trev
