PM some of my planes:
Ziroli SBD Dauntlass.

Engine test video: RPM'S: 1250-6750.


Had to charge the batteries.
I charge each battery twice as, sometimes, I get a false reading (ie. too short of a charge cycle) once in awhile after the planes have been 'sitting' all winter.

I don't remember the right aileron having UP trim so I put it back to even with the wing and also raised the 'dive brake' flap as it seemed a little low.
I'll have to watch the 'trim' on the first flight.

Darrell's gear worked fine.



The left cowl 'flaps' needed a new servo.





Re-charging all the batteries.



A-1 Skyraider. 86"
Newly acquired from Legend Hobby.

Bought this nice fuel tank at the Dayton plane show. Only 20 bucks.
I replaced the fuel line going to the 'clunk' with my black tubing.



Charging all the batteries that are 'spare' and for the Skyraider.
