Joe,

Sorry about the gear issues, good to know though, thank you. I have all the electronics installed. The motor is the last thing to go in before it's ready to balance. I've ordered the second set of 6000 MAH 6 cell lipo batteries. For the first time, I'm going to try running four sets of batteries. Two sets of batteries will be wired in parallel. Then the four batteries will be wired in series. This effectively will double my flight times, I should be able to get between 10 to 12 minutes per flight, maybe more as the 65cc equivalent is way to much, and should allow me to be rather gentile on the throttle. I can hopefully can balance the plane with the use of the four battery packs, and not have to add any deadweight. We'll see.
