Well, I wanted to add a quick update about the Prolog. It is finally finished and ready to go and i will be taking it out tomorrow afternoon. Weather is looking really nice so it should be a non event. I made a few changes on mine from the stock set up. The stock set up used blind nut in the wing and i believe three or 4 mm bolts to hold the wing on. I decided to use plastic 1/4 20 bolts, glued in the wing and wing nut to secure it in the fuz. I also made a cut out in the rear to support the rudder servo, thought this way was a little easier than the other method proposed in the instructions; other than that everything else uses the stock set up. The plane weighs 4512 grams with a Himax 210 and Rhino batts, so if you wanted to make it lighter you certainly could.

I just bought 8 new 5S Rhino batts from Hobby King. and could not believe the weight. Each weighed less than 608 grams. I did a few tricks that i was showed by Joe Dunnaway and Bill Ahrens to get the weight down, and now these packs weigh the same and in some cases lighter than my TP 5000 25C packs. Not sure what they are doing to get the weight down, but the new packs are significantly lighter than packs in the past; no, i am not sponsored by Hobby King, but though i would let you all know, as I am a big fan of the Rhino packs. I bought 4 packs in late 2009, and they are still going strong!!

Pics are below of the finished model, and it also shows how i can kill the power to the motor from outside the plane. I was showed this installation by Rusty Dose back in 2008, and since then every electric plane that i have worked on has this external arming and disarming switch.

Will give an update once i fly her tomorrow
