Yes that was with full UAT and gear down, although nose gear does swing back.

Default Progress

Getting the fuselage finishe short if the retract servo, I need to pick one up tomorrow.

My fuel system is complete, take a look and let me know if I need to change anything!



I raised the main tray by 3/4" to match the hight of the forward tray. This gives me more breathing room under for all my hoses and wiring.



All that is left is the left wing and she is ready to roll

Less weight being carried around is always better

I have kept my GSU plugged in a lot of my jets. I have never had an issue. I believe they are designed for ether or. Weight is really not a factor as they are pretty light.

Ciao from Palermo, Italy. I will be back home in the states in another 12 days. it has already been two weeks since I ordered my jet. Staying busy is helping the time go by quickly.

How many servos are needed for flying controls and what torque is recommended for each surface?

I got this before I got the new ECU, I'm guessing it won't work!

Scroll threw this thread, it has all the info you need, 8 servos plus one for retract valve if you go that way.

One of the great things is that the fuse is in two pieces unlike some of the other sport jets. better for shipping and very easy to pull the tail sections off to ship to a jet event if needed

Looks like they are packing them better then the first ones, your wing tube is not floating around in the box

Are all the surfaces pre-hinged?

i also want to order some wing bags. Any chance someone can throw us some wing measurements?

Actually the box is now too big for EMS shipping. Some of you have already been informed that we have had 12 planes returned to the factory from EMS saying our box is beyond the required dimensions. I am told that the holiday season is here, and China is exporting a lot of packages and our big box is taking up too much room that they can use for a lot of smaller boxes in its place. Either way, the bottom line is our planes are being returned after going through China customs. The factory is working on a solution to either decrease the box size or possibly have to break it into 2 boxes. Some customers have opted to have their plane shipped UPS International but the cost is an additional $160.00. Please be patient, as the factory is working diligently on a solution, as well as trying to keep the price down. Again, we knew this was ground floor with T-ONE Models and would have some growing pains. The good news is they are still producing an Exceptional plane and will not cut corners on quality!! If you feel you have been waiting to long, we totally understand and will issue a full refund upon request. You can contact me at [email protected] if you choose to have a refund or if you want to use UPS International for your shipping purposes.

Regards,

Dirk

Dirk,

Is this going to extend the already 10-12 week delivery time from time of order?
