You'll be better off in the long run. Regardless of timeline it's always best to be sure.

Good luck with it, I'll look forward to your progress.

No, it's just a long dead R.A.F. pilot. But now that u mention it, he does resemble Eddie somewhat. Saw those guys in Concert like 15 to 20 years ago. Put on a great show!!!

Ok, back at it again this morning. Got the Miracle sled in for my rudder, but haven't attached the push rods to the sled arm yet. Also have my PowerBox Professional and 8 channel spektrum reciever with 3 satellites installed . I'm gonna run an Ibec with 2, 5000 mah 7.4 lipos and NO ignition battery. Been doing that on my Pilot 31% EXTRA 330SC with no issues for over a year now, so it works for me.

Won't put the batteries in till I go to balance the plane. Oh, and the batteries are hardcase batteries.

Red arms everywhere. That black bent rod on the left at the top of the back of the hatch area, ( that was a mouthful), is the new latch system Pilot rc has started using. Let's just say I'm getting used to it. Also just a special note for Powerbox user's: I ALWAYS use duct tape where the switch ribbon plugs into the box, because years ago I had 1 come loose.

Ok, ran into another snag!!!! The rudder control arm hits the elevator with the elevator in the down position as you turn with rudder..Maybe I should have waited for version 2 of this plane I'm gonna have to cut off at least a 1/4 of the arm so it will clear.....Not a happy camper right now!
