Lot of truth in that thought for sure! I'm also liking the idea there will be a lot of building decisions made based on already having done it once already, as well as knowing where a few of the weak spots are due to some previous,,,,, um, experience?
Won't have to think out and track down materials for the control surface linkage/push rods and so on either. That stuff was all recovered and is in fine shape. The genuine A123 battery, the one you aren't supposed to drain completely, or leave out in the weather? That made it too (after 2 big storms!). Charger complained about "low voltage" at first, but when I plugged a second battery into it for a few minutes it took right off, putting 2100 mah into a 2300 mah battery! So we're lookin good. Hopefully get a Rev 70 back on the flying list soon, and with any luck at all, it will last as long as this one has! -Al
