FRB..... Did you wind up getting a new MX2 after your whole shipping mishap? I recall your thread after your unfortunate mishap with that plane, how did that all pan out for you, not to get your thread off track, just curious......

3D, I finally got reimbursed from Forward Air, it only took about 4 months. I sold the damaged plane to a fellow in Dallas who is going to fix it and fly it. This one is brand new and received about 10 days ago.

I figure why not? The 170 weighs a couple ounces less than a DA 150 so there will be no weight penalty from using it, but just generate a ton of power which is what I am wanting out of this deal, a little hot rod 3D plane.

Dan,

Thanks for the pics, that helps. I think my cans are a bit bigger than that, we'll see how it goes...
