Cool Tim, me likey.

Hey if you are going weight conscious, remove the the bullet connectors from the esc/motor, and solder/heat shrink em direct. (after checking rotation )
And go with the $8.00 HK rx instead of the orange one. Or pull the case off the orange one and heat shrink it.

I still think orientation is going to be a bugger. Though I have trouble keeping a standard bird the right way.


Oh a tip for those that don't know. If you have to heat shrink something and don't have tube quite large enough. Heat shrink has two properties, we all know the first one (it shrinks when heated) Duh. The other one is it stretches too. Tube too small, slip it over the jaws of a pair of needle nose or external snap ring pliers. Spread the jaws slowly, and the tube will stretch out.
Now slip your tube over the previous item, warm it up and it will shrink back nice and tight. Will save you from buying a whole bunch of different sized heat shrink.
