LOL..Yes Dion should know what he has sent me lately!

Basement Troll: To answer the question about motor anyways. I'm not exactly sure to be honest. See the plane is not mine, I am building it for my friend at the LHS. Last time we spoke I think we agreed on a Saito .82 but I'm finding out for sure this afternoon.


Argh! I ran out of thin CA [:@]

4 things I must keep in my wallet. Cash for the subway, wallet ring, list of Spacey's models purchased from OMP and the Little Bible. Because you never know when you're going to need them.

Hahaha!

Right fus is 99.99% done. Needs final sanding/rounding blah blah. Oh Saito .82 it is! JR High torque digital metal gear monster servos on the tail feathers. JR DS-811's on the rons. And a standard NES-537 on the throttle.

Darn it why is it always when I get up to speed all kinds of things not building related pop up to steal time? Got the wing done and here's some pics of the hatches. I hope to build the other aileron, elevator, rudder and stab tonight so I can start covering tomorrow or wednesday. The powerplant should be showing up either this week or the one after and I want to have the airframe ready by then.

Oh dear I nearly forgot about this thread. Alright for those that were wondering. She's just getting dressed at the moment. She'll be right out for final assembly.

Default RE: So what's spacey up to?

Alright my work is nearly done. All I have left to do is install the servos and get the pushrods etc hooked up. Tail wheel and fuel tank also. She still needs to be decorated but I'm not going to be the only one doing that task as I'll not be flying it. I've stressed the owner to come up with a color scheme but nothing from his side yet so I'm just going to leave it blank as is now and help them put something on at the LHS. I have a couple of ideas though to make it striking yet super simple so we'll see tomorrow afternoon when I take it to him. The motor also has not showed up yet and is only expected to arrive middle december. We have the other option of going to a Saito .91 though? What you guys think?

Edit: Uploaded the wrong piccy..fixed.
