Finally got some quality time in the workshop on the Vixen, coming together well, plan for test flight by end of April. The quality of accessories provided has been excellent, used all linkages and servo mounts provided with very good fits, except the elevator servos, with some minor mods I was able to fit JR 8911HV servos inside that thin stab, 8411's would have been the proper fit but I have loaded this bird up with all the big servos. Got the new Rhino SE this week and went in with no issues, but install with the full ductwork is a process, but it all fits well so far. Side note, powered up the new GSU with the Jet Central Rhino, very nice, not that you get more information as much as the screen is very vivid, and much more information is displayed on each page, great for monitoring the turbine performance. Attached a couple of pictures of the turbine going in. Note the additional Sullivan tanks are for the smoke system.
