Status: offline 		hi guys I just got mine in the red white blue and black scheme. I can't believe there are not more people on here with these! I have seen the comments that you have to see these in person to appreciate the quality I'm tellin you its true. Absolutely the best quality plane I have had. The covering job is really really top drawer with no wrinkles at all and looks great. One pretty neat thing I saw is that there are three carbon rods in the front end just aft of the firewall for support they run from the firewall back to the landing gear block neat idea.

I have been assembling my pilot x and the dash panel first they look really good. Does anyone know where I can get a really really small aresti diagram to go in the center of the cockpit panel?

Chris really nice work on this model

Status: offline 		I have not been able to find a practical way to charge my batteries at the field. So far the best way, seems to be a portable generator, which means that I would have to expend other $600. Hence, I am now seriously considering using a YS 63 as power plant.

I bought this plane to practice 3D. That is why I am favoring the YS 63, instead of the Saito 82. Have any of you tried the YS 63? Would it fit nicely inside the cowl? Any tips?

Since my first option was electric, I am using one servo for elevator, and a pull-pull system for the rudder.

Thanks,
Luis

Status: online 		I bring along a spare car battery I use too charge my stuff with. I can recharge my 3-4000 mah batteries many times at the field. I bought an optima battery from pep boys which is a sealed cell battery and can take the abuse. I use a battery tender or a fast charger to maintain it.

Status: offline 		A guy on RCG has a 63 in his as Im sure many more do also. The .82 is over kill in my opinion . Its all up to you what you want to use.

I practice 3D everytime I go flying. I dont ever think Ill stop practicing either ohh and fixing!

This plane is fun! Tracks so straight in loops rolls etc. You'll see what Im talking about when you get it in the air.

sdstick I want to get one of them stickers. They available yet?

Status: offline 		3Don,
Your video seems to have killed the thread over on RCG Like I said over there AWSOME! Great flying!
I only offer you to post it up on Vimeo for better quality, which it deserves. Youll get a 500mb a week upload and can post in HD if capable.

I only hope I can find a camera man (hint hint Russ) to video mine. Im way way way better then you, at crashing that is I can do snaps that low
Right into the ground ehh ..

Got any more?

Mike
