well, i have made alot of progress now, the electric glow and fuel lines are installed, and once i get the foam tape the rx will be in, then i get to fire the engine for break-in! woohoo, this one has been a long trip, but im glad im finally getting it done. only issue now is figuring out how to install the windows so i can still have access in the fuse to work.. pics to come and video once its fired

Big wheels are cool.

STOL video coming?

I say you make a 12' x 6' chalk box and rock STOL's all day.
That would be cool.

Sleepy, I still wish that I had bought your cub and had some fun... I've seen a DA85 on a 1/3rd scale and its nicely powered...

[pitviper51]

i plan to do alot of stols. i got the wings and struts mounted today for the first time, cg looks a bit nose heavy, just the way i like it. when i tried to fire it up no nothing haha.. guess the onboard glow batts died last time i had it running,, so now i have to wiat 12 hours to charge so i can check it for vibes and taxi around the yard.. i wish i had a way to hook brakes up,, then super stol is possible.. tho i dont think that will be a problem. more soon
mike

[pitviper51]

well i got it runnning withthe wings on today. ran good, so i did a few yard taxi test.. sure enough the tail gear snaped right off.. so now after fixing that with a hardwood block. i should be good for tomarrow test flight.. as long as weather allows
