Got the parts ordered from Chief Aircraft today.
Got the aileron all repaired and waiting for the Microfill to dry for sanding.
Will repair the strut tabs tomorrow.
Wheel pants the next day.... etc.
If the parts come in on time and I can find a servo, she will fly again this weekend !

The heck with one thing a night get the lead out and and pull a endless shift till done.

lol
Glad the repairs are minor and you should have the parts by Thursday the latest.

Programmed the Velox on the 9303 2.4 last night. Changed out the clunk line for insurance and charged up the batteries. Put some fuel in her and fired up the 3W 150CS. Just a few flips with the choke on, a quick pop,took the choke off, four more flips and the engine just sat there purring like a kitten. I forgot how quiet and smooth that 3W ran, the cannisters definatly do their job. It still rips the 32x10 Biella prop on the ground. I love the power of those 3 Dubbs.

Has anyone checked out the new DL30 comming out? I have a Edge540 that this would be perfect in. This will give me a gasser that I can put in the back seat and fly anytime and not worry about the trailer. Anyone interested in a Moki?

WOW!!! That was not too long ago, maybe 5 years. We look a little older now. But, our planes have improved!!!

I'm just gonna order 2 7955's and 2 new MPI arms and send the other servos (plus an old 5985) back to Hitec for refurbishment and a clean bill of health.
Then I'll have a start on my next plane....
