No, the tail surfaces will be fine with the stock long 3114 arms. The aileron geometry is a little better with a long arm though, but the stock arm will work fine here too, and you should still get full throw. Barn doors you will have!

when i get one to paint, it will have barn hinges too, like the night flyer i made from foam board, youll notice the theme.. i had to go nutz with some artowrk.. its to bad i cut most of it off to make it fly hahah hope to work on it sunday and fly indoor for test, but i may wait to get it in the bigger gym to explore its full potential, is it safe to safe 3 minits tops for full 3d routines? I am mixing music.

Nice!

Our indoor freestyles are limited to 2 minutes, if that's what you mean. If you mean battery life, you should get around 3 to 4 before you start losing power, depending on how you fly...

I think I'm gonna go build my Osiris, and then buy a couple of MX2's.... But don't tell my GF that!!!! (Seth/RJ)

Just need some BSI Thin glue!!!

I think 1 1oz bottle will be enough to do 3 foamies!!!

hpapilot · 10-31-2009, 05:21 PM

Don't worry Chris, your secret's safe with me!

I think a 1oz bottle should be good for at least 3, maybe 4 of them...

pitviper51 · 10-31-2009, 09:12 PM

hang in there louu.

danielph · 10-31-2009, 11:03 PM

Unless you're like some guys that I know that will use a whole bottle on one plane. LOL ;-)

pitviper51 · 11-01-2009, 12:14 AM

now if they could actually make a ca bottle that doesnt clog, then we will be set.. nothing new on my build, i broke the hinges loose tho, holy crap this things got some surfaces haha.. hope to start again tomarrow after i get home from flying big er planes

Got my AJ built!! Just needing to decide on a powerplant and batteries..................

I'll definately be buying 2 MX2's!!!! 1 Stock scheme, and 1 WHITE!!!

Mike, how are the confusing instructions on the MX2???

The AJ isn't the greatest.... But I was able to get alot of it figured out, and what I didn't figure out, I done anyways!! HEHEHE!!!

Chris, what was confusing with the Osiris instructions?

Bunky F. Knuckle · 11-01-2009, 01:39 AM

I forget now......... But it is built, and that is what matters!!

**********************************************
When building pushrods..... I had my control horns glued in, and then to build pushrods with Z-Bends..... Had I been thinking, I would have done Z's on the control horn, and a L bend with a Du-Bro keeper on the servo end.... I have SEVERAL here. But I didn't build the foamy at home........ Just not sure why anyone would want Z-Bends on each end.....

If there is something else, I'll add it in.........

Lighter.

Just as simple to set up.

Chris, I did the instructions for the MX2, and they should be pretty easy to follow! They're on the website so you can take a look...

this is my favorite glue so far. i started off with great planes (water in a bottle) then i tried zap (not much better) then i tried eflight (little better) the important thing about all glue bottles is to clean the spout off before you put the top on. i always wipe it off and never had a top get glued on. http://www.mercuryadhesives.com/ if you click on where to buy it will tell ya.
