siclick, do you think you need a powerbox for such a simple system?
Not really but I'm short of TX channels and the matching for elevators and flaps will be quite handy (and I like the look of the graphical battery monitor). I may yet change my mind again when I get to that point; I haven't even finalised what turbine I'm going to fit yet so there's still time

I think I've found one piece that's missing. I assume that the fuel tank cap is supposed to have a threaded ring that you glue to the tank? If so, mine's not there. It's not a big drama as the metal cap looks like a leftover part from a farm tractor so I'm going to use something else anyway. The canopy release latch is also a bit odd - how have people gone about fitting that? Have you used the bowden cable? If not, I assume that I need to solder a metal rod on so that it can be opened from the outside?
