OK, I confess. I drew them at home while work on a design project for my engineering class?

I can't wait to finish this thing. I will get more pictures soon, as I am going to go work on it this weekend.

MORE TO COME STAY TUNED

yea, I have always like the the checkers on the wings. My friend Jack(JackL on FG) said he could add a few tweaks to the scheme. I figured I would keep it simple and straight forward. Wow your Dalton looks nice? what equipment you using?

7955's all around, 3W170cs on pefa cans, smartfly EQ6TP, JR 9303 2.4 w/ ar9000 rx, fromeco 5200mah li-ons on the rx and a 2600 li-on on the ign, mej. 29x12N and a Nova Polished 5in spinner.

thanks for the compliments. rob at competition airframes built it for me and my buddy from scot herman designs covered it for me. all i'm doin' is throwin' in the guts!!!! and i tell ya what, i'm SLOW at it! LOL

khedge · 02-19-2009, 11:45 PM

Cool, I bet that 170 is going to be quiet with the pefa cans and the mej 3 blade. Well by the time I i get my 42% Dalton 300 going hopefully the 7950TH will be out.

yeah, the 7950's will be great. i am completely confident in my 7955's though. i've had 100's of flights on the 5955's in several 40%er's and they have never steered me wrong. they are certainly strong enough and now that the newer 7955 stlye has twice the resolution.... well, nuff said!

good luck on yours.... i look forward to seeing threads on it!

happy flyin'
matt

khedge · 02-22-2009, 10:51 PM

Well guys I got the part of the hatch built. Then my friend jack built a pipe tunnel for me. He is going to finish it out for me. I am in school and I don't hardly have any time to work on it. I'll post pics soon. Stay tuned.

Hopefully I can have it flying for the Dallas fly-in

Thanks same to you. I can't wait to fly it. Well I have to send off my da 85 because the crankshaft shifted back and is contacting the case in the rear of the motor. This weekend has been eventful

khedge · 06-19-2009, 02:56 AM

Well guys my Dalton is getting covered. I have finished building the hatch and mounting the cowl to the fuse. Here are some pics of the covering
