Hey Joe!

Great build as always! Where did you get the conicals? I was hoping for a source other than taking apart ball link kits. I just received this same scheme in the 100cc. Quality is great!

Thanks,

Perry



Not to de-rail the thread but, I wanted to thank Perry / PTS for helping me get into my first Aero-Works and being a class act, thanks, your great guy with lots of intigrity.


And the conicles for mine, I took out of another set, so your right, a source for those would help.

Thanks,

Perry

Here's the last pic:

Perfecto, smarks!

That supplied arm is hard to drill with a regular bit, but with a cobalt bit from Home Depot it drills like butter. 8-)

Status: offline 		Yup, that's what I used. It is pretty tough stuff. Used a dremel to cut it down and round it back out, then drilled it. Had to drill another mounting hole as well since the original one was in the hinge line. Thanks for providing the info. It makes total sense and don't know why more people don't realize the extra load it puts on the servo and bat.

I hear ya', smarks... then there's throttle linkage, pull/pull geometry, resolution, and the list goes on and on...

Anyway, I took this pic and photoshopped it up a bit for fun:

Thanks!

Status: offline 		making some progress on mine. The business end is done, and all I really have left is to determine battery locations, mount the receiver, and program the radio.
Here is a pic of the front end, and also how I did my choke linkage without having to use a bell crank or servo - nice and light. Also note the end-grain balsa motor mount, titanium engine mount bolts, and safety wire usage. The mount/bolts dropped another 3 ounces or so, and I always do the safety wire thing so I don't have to keep checking for loose bolts...

Status: offline 		Bodywerks---You really are using your noodle with your end grain balsa block mount. On your choke set up, where does it come out of the cowl ? It is a push pull deal I assume ?
