still waiting.
I will not order anything else for this plane until mid next month.
most of the ordering will go on in Jan.
I already have a 5" spinner that I need to send to Tru-Turn to have the slots cut bigger than what it came with, I had to modify the slots for it to accept a 26x10 prop.
yes yes yes I balanced the spinner after the mod.

My 40% 260 is now in the alingment stage and should leave on the boat from Thailand and should be in the States at the end of Jan.
Should give me just enough time te get the components ready and waiting for a fast build.

you have to custom order the plane in this color scheme.
it cost me 2750 to get it in this scheme and here is a picture of the engine

I have on the way 4 futaba 9156 servos, not sure where they will go but I have made up my mind about the 3 or 4 servos for the rudder and I think I will go with 4 on the rudder and 3 per aileron.
I also have the 5in Dubro tread lite wheels,50oz fuel tank and a 32oz smoke tank,tried to get a extra extra long tail wheel but they are out and are not due to recieve any till mid this month.Ray told me that the plane will leave Thailand on the 3rd.
I finally have the bathroom renovation done and have the hobby room back for my planes.
It will suck if I cannot get this plane out of the hobby room when it is finished.

Eagle. You definatly dont need three servos on the ailerons or 4 on the rudder. 3 on rudder is plenty and 2 on the ailerons is heaps, no need for the added weight and complexity.
