RE: BJCraft Episode
Sorry to leave everyone hanging. I intended on posting some pics last night but that banner message at the top of the forum was something that I should have paid attention to. The RCU site shut down at 10pm.
I got my Episode direct from BJ Craft and not part of the first shipment. I am lucky enough to be part of the BJ Craft team so I got mine early. I will do the same sort of build post that I did for the Nuance. Hopefully the info I post will be helpful to those of you that are waiting for your planes.
This is basically a Nuance with modifications. The basic fuselage shape is nearly identical, the only change is the height of the vertical fin as far as I can tell. The canopy is very different so that the Canalizer can mount to it. It includes heavier fiberglass and a support structure. It also attaches with the quick release buttons, not a latch.
I am going to power this with a Pletty Advance. This will be my first time trying a Pletty, so I am anxious to give it a shot. I also plan on using the OS ESC.
I'll try and post weights tonight, although it should be very similar to the Nuance. I plan on attacking the motor installation first since it is the toughest part. Overall, I have to say that it is really sharp looking. It looks much better in person than in the pics. That's what I said about the Nuance as well, but the color scheme on the fuselage is really neat.
