WRX,
Glad it worked. How about using the picture upload link to post your pictures so we can see them and not have to download? I have dialup.

one more..
Great job and writeup-
makes toting paper towels and 409 for cleanup all worth it to be reminded of the un-comparable performance gain.
Plus engines are fun- I still have yet to see a full-scale electric plane!

It looks like a gws naro rec in there- is that safe? I guess it must be since the plane has flown and is still intact.. the gws rx sure is cheap and light.. looks like you have room for another servo- any plans for rudder?

That is a GWS RX. I fell on top of my tiger moth and crushed it beyond repair. The GWS receiver is a 4 channel micro with a five short range which is not much of a problem at the football field I fly at. If I get too high it always drops back down into range.

The field I fly at had 3 soccre fields and 1 football fiels with a track around it all lined up. I have had it almost past the 3rd soccre field, but that was a bit further away than I like it. (windy day)

Oh yea, the transmitter is a JR 662

Nice job.

Bet that Cessna would make a nice float plane.
