glad it gets your  approval LOL

i keep plodding on with doing bits where i can,gonna install engine next and cut the flexi and install the strut.

then its a case on waiting on the last of the few needed to complete and the weather

(in reply to Body Guard)

having a good day on this build

installed engine temporary to cut flexishaft,installed strut,flexi and flex saver

Also fitted the radiobox lid temporary to make sure it fits still after all the layers of paint have been added and the neoprene seal,all bolts have rubber o rings aswell so should be watertight.

Also shot through the mesh screen with engine installed,this should provide enough airflow through to engine and round the pipe.

Flightpower EON X lite, 2100mah, 3s, 25C  lipo and weighs only 169g

Iv modified it by adding rx plug soldered on with the 3mm bullets,this will go to a switch then to the 5A UBEC then to rx, but should make for long run times without having to worry about the rx pack failing

The steering servo is 1/5 21kg MG high torque digital servo

The throttle is 9kg,standard size,MG high torque digital servo (abit over kill i know but will do for now for testing)

Throttle servo will be connected to failsafe in the event of a failure

Radio is Flysky TX & RX also installing a voltmeter to rx

didnt know about the built in failsafe,didnt say it on the write up on website, never mind ill keep it as a spare,you never know

Iv got room just already had this lipo lying around waiting for a job LOL thats why i chose to use it save spending out again when the ubec is 1/4 of the price

We'll see what happens once it hits the water and go from there
