I know of a local guy that built a QQ Python for a guy that didn't thread lock the landing gear bolts and on the 1st or 2nd flight the guy was hovering the plane and the landing gear FELL OFF! He had to belly land it. Not good.

Belly land hell,, I would have hovered it in and let two guys go grab it,, that would save a 60 dollar prop and some monokote damage,,

Hey, Jon, we've all seen you hover. I don't think you could find two volunteers to stand under it to grab it.

Thanks Tony & Kenn for providing all the fodder in the ticket barrel to place my tickets in the proper position for selection! I'll gladly share the transmitter for your part.

Alright ya'll... been tied up with work the last few days, but will be heading out to pick up some velcro and double sided tape to finish up the wire install clean-up.

Kenny and Joey Hayes came over early Labor Day and we got all the servos setup and rates set, and cowl on.

Eric over at B&E has been sending over some renderings for the graphics. We should have that finished up tonight and graphics on this weekend!

I'll shoot some pics for you tonight when I get home.
