Default Finally finished 22 June 2020

Started this project in November 2019. Limited time to work on it then COVID hit the US like a ton of bricks. Between that and an increased commitment to get this plane built, I started putting more time into it around late March. I’m glad to report it’s pretty much done. My first jet. Man, it’s a tight fit getting everything into the area forward of the tank but I managed it. Lots of planning time.

Looking forward to getting it in the air.

Equipment summary for those interested
Spektrum AR9030T RX and DX9 TX
ACEX-80 engine (CRX / Swiwin)
Hanson 4 ounce UAT
Hitec digital servos throughout
Electrodynamics heavy duty servo extensions throughout
Jet Central gear failsafe
Jet Tronics proportional brake valve
Duralite Flight Systems 2S2P 7000 mah radio battery with “stay balance” circuit
PowerBox switch/regulator for radio
Pulse 3300 mah lipo ECU battery




Needs official decals!

Decided to run separate air tanks. One for brakes. One for gear.
