Taildragger21,
Looks pretty sharp dude. Who makes that ARF? Got everything programmed, receiver installed, and all the wiring secured today. The only thing left to do is secure the Life battery once the CG is set but I'm still waiting on my Glacier battery to come back. Hopefully they'll ship it out this coming week so I can do the maiden next weekend. The pic shows how I set my two elevator halves. Works pretty good.
Just saw it a General Hobby (Goldwing)

Got the CG set and both the 2500 Life and the two 5000mAh packs installed with Velcro and straps. Hopefully heading out after lunch today to get the maiden flight in on my Slick 540. This is long over due and I'm sure it will be worth the wait. The heat is going to limit me to one or two flights.

Well as luck would have it the maiden didn't happen today. ESC wouldn't link up at the field and it was just to hot to work on it. The motor just would not run. It was 96° today with a heat index of 106. To much for me. Got it home and the power wire for the arming switch was not plugged in 
Had it running the night before, anyway got the motor running but it will only come up to about 3/4 throttle. Not sure if the timing needs to be re-set at this point or what. Anyone running the E-flite Power 360 and CC HV 160 ESC want to share their setup?

Got to maiden the Slick today. After downloading the new 4.20 (Beta) firmware this morning everything worked fine. Got three flights in and this thing is like a giant foamy. Might buy a 23X10 and see what happens. Here is the data log of the last flight.
First run: 4 min. / 63% still in the packs
Second run: 5 min. / 38% left in the packs
Final run: 5 1/2 min. / 30% left in the packs
