Any cockpit pictures?

Status: offline 		right now there is not any cockpit at all, you can see theres no canopy glass either, we have discussed this, because the cockpit panel and accessories from carf is a very poor standard. So to get the best result must be dooing something by yourself.

Status: offline 		Beautiful covering job! Mick Reeve's metal covering, how does it affect 2.4 GHz reception/transmission? His website doesn't say much, except it weighs almost identical to flitemetal.

hmm it must be about 100hours for this finish...

regarding 2,4ghz i had some trouble with my T33, but it also had alot of carbonfiber, and a long stainless steel duct for the turbine. So i had to move the antennas on the outside of the fuse.
