Equipment

FUTABA T18 MZ / T 32
RX 7003
BLS 173 SVI Ailerons & Elevators
BLS 151 Rudder
ADVERRUN SINGLE DRIVE
D3 ESC

The landing gear legs with wheels pants and wheels weight 168 g
ADVERRUN plus D3 ESC 616 g
Batteries tray 31 g + 12 g

I start with the wings servos installation.

Paint is very fragile, and I use a foam protection when working on the surfaces.

I found useful using a carbon rod mounted on a plastic horn to position the horn parallel to the hinge line.

Landing gear box reinforcement
Flying from a grass runway, I'm used to reinforce the ldg box with a 1 mm carbon plate, and to add some carbon tissue to distribute the efforts

Engine installation.
With the thick nose ring and the short ADVERRUN Drive shaft, I bolted directly the engine to the nose ring using the soft mounts.
As the air intake is small, the air exhaust on the bottom of the fuselage seems to be large enough.
KONTRONIK runs cool as well as the D3.
80 or 82 mm FALCON spinners are used with a 2 or 3 blades prop

How do you like that three blade? Can you compare it to the Falcon three blade in regards to performance?

Thanks,
Joe

Yes thank you. I was just curious which one you preferred and why? The falcon 20-12 three blade or the RSM three blade?
