Status: offline 		Having trouble getting full voltage to my glow plug from the remote starter. Any tips from you guys on how to get full power to the glow plug?

Heavier wires? It works, just not very well.

Try moving your glow plug to a different bolt, or find a way to bolt it directly to the engine. Sometimes the painted bolt doesn't want to conduct very well.

Status: offline 		I just got the TT 3D canopy mount set. THere aren't any instructions.

I can figure out that they mount to the frame, but what holds the canopy on? There aren't any thumb screws or holes for them?

Anyone have a pic of theirs? Yes I have an FRP 3D canopy.

Status: offline 		Thanks guys, well, since I didn't take your advice BCH I am now replacing the mains shaft bearings. I learned my lesson, something I don't want to do in the near future.

Took some pics, a cut away of sorts....

Thanks, ordered the thumb screws and a Kasama fan. Figured since I got it apart, I'll do that now too.

What advice did you not heed? I went back two or three pages but didn't catch it. I don't want to replace any bearings in mine for not following a good piece of info...

Hope everyone else has had some good flying weather this week, been beautiful here in GA and I've been to the field every night since sunday. Nice and quiet around the house, amazing how your flying can progress when the old lady goes out of town and isn't "asking" you to mow the lawn, fix the car, dig a hole, hang a shelf etc!

I assume he's talking about either greasing the bearings during the build, or locktiting the pinion to the pinion bearing.

Status: offline 		Here's a few pics of the Kasama fan. Overall the mill quality looks very good and the hub fits the fan nicely with a keyed opening. It is also extremely light.

It can be purchased at GrandRC for $39.

A quick note on the thumb screws for the canopy, they come in a four pack.
