Can't quite see it in the last picture, but the pitch servo is the one on the nose furthest forward.

Thanks for posting the pics, Seth.

As a note, you absolutely must use the 45 degree foam gussets on the nose for the motor-mount to glue to. There won't be enough glue area otherwise, and the nose on these can take some punishment from the forces of VPP.

Don't know if I'll make the dome or not this Saturday.

I have to work until 9PM and its an hours drive up. Also depends on if I get my motor from Hacker in time to get it soldered to my ESC and onto my airplane as well. But if I can make it I'll bring it.

I'll only have my Kestrel with me, Seth.............. I bought some TP's, and a Suppo 2204-14 for the Osiris, soldered up the motor to the ESC, and the motor didn't work............ Tried different ESC's, and still nothing....... Tried different settings in my Tx, still nothing......... So, solution........... Bum motor! The AJ will have to wait again to fly.

Ah that stinks.

I'd make it up for sure if I had my new plane done.

Can't wait to fly it, but gotta wait on some electronics, and more kicker to finish the build!

well i feel like crap right now so imm not doin nutin cept watchin UFC and typin on FG.
got da first flight on the new mx2 last night after work, dident get to bed till 11pm, had to wake up today at 4am to go to work, again, and i gotta work tommorow. i told them today all i want to do is fly airplanes. they looked at me like i was crazy and told me to get in there and weld.
on a good note, this is the badest ass foamie i ever flew, ever.
theres no better foamie. it comes out of the box with the coolest paint job there is.
i took some video from last night of dave lockheart flying a stolen mx2 and we got some cool side by side hovering pics.
o yeah i forgot to say i can do super slow inverted harriers with this thing like its no big deal, this thing is amazing.
by the end of the night dave was doing effortless knife edge loops in this tiny room, also amazing.
