Shauns plane is gonna be Nice. It has beast of a 3w-150Qs/TOC in the nose. We started this motor and It ran Strong, didn't even have to adjust the needles. Hitec 5955's all around, Fromeco gear throughout, SWB arms, and dual Receivers.

Hey Shaun...You know I like that strong coffee...
Bring the bird out friday..Like Dan Says we can at least get her maidened and that always feels better. If we can locate a couple of channel 54 crystals for your recievers you can use my radio for the contest.
Dont be afraid of this plane man. Just fly it!!! That plane will give you a lot of good times but you cant be afraid of it Bro...Its good to be safe and I know you want your own radio but we can make this happen for the contest if you want to.
LOL..No pressure right?

No voodoo here. Just found some definite direction with flying and I really enjoy it. Not to mention traveling with Phil and Ryan G. Got into big gas couple years ago and I guess when you got one you neet to learn what to do with it. I like meeting and re-meeting all the folks on the IMAC tour.

I have an old Great Planes Giant Extra 330L that's been wrecked and rebuilt. I made a trade for it a couple of years ago and just now got it down to TX. Motor is in, servo's are in, receiver is in and it's ready for the final touches.

I just now slid the wings on and powered up the receiver, surfaces all came to center and are going to right direction. I'm supposed to go flying tomorrow so hopefully the maiden will be Sunday.

Thanks Shaun,

As soon as I have all of the wires tied in place, knowing for sure I won't any of the extra stuff lying around, I promise I'll get it cleaned off

If I clean it off now, I'll never be able to find anything!!
