Great!I can't wait to see them - I'm really looking forward to getting this in the air. I've seen the PRO on the internet - a Horizon Hobby build video (which didn't actually show them building anything) and in the test flight it seemed to run much quieter with the torque tube tail - I don't know if that is true or not, but I'm still looking forward to getting in the air!
Here is the pic of my Pro installation.. I have hot glued the servo leads in place.. they absolutely will NEVER move or come loose..
You can also see I have used hot glue on the servo itself to secure the wires against vibration. Same with the RX aerials
I know this will be a nightmare if I crash, but my philosophy is, build it strong, and bullet proof it and you should never crash..
I have planes that are over 20 years old and still flying reliably with zero crashes that I built this way..
The hitech HS65MG servo leads are quite short and the longest part of the build was figuring out how to route and secure them..
and yes..the TT is much smoother and quieter than the Belt.. It flies with class!
