I'll stay with the E-flite gear as long as its free. once that is not the case I will probably fit one of the many air systems I have on the shelf.
this weekend was not a good flying weekend so I replaced the stock prop with a 15x6-10 zinger. also replaced the flap pushrods and clevises with 2-56. the new nose gear came on Saturday so I put that in as well. trying to get the retaining ring off the old cam was nearly impossible without the special tool, so I swopped the cam, strut asm. with the old gear. works great I only folded it once.
my blendurum will be here some time this week and that will complete my doto's for this plane. hopefully for a while.
so the modes I have made are as follows:
- made fused extension leads to take the small car 3 amp fuses. one for each retract.
- added a 4.8-5.2 volt NiCad RX pack as a back up for the BEC.
- replaced A, E, R, F, pushrods and clevises with 2-56
- blendurum the flap living hinge. with packing tap on the ends.
repairs:
- replaced the nose gear.
