Default RE: Tissue covering

The Albatross is looking great! Are the decals inkjet on tissue paper? I was going to paint on my "4" and "NR77V", but I may have to rethink that now. Yours certainly came out nice.

I am held up again! I was bench testing my RFFS-100 to make sure I had the actuators spaced about right to get the proper throw (and make sure everything works) and it's not working for me.

The motor control works fine, but I get no response from the rudder, and the elevator deflects fully in one direction and stays there. It sounds like it's responding, as the pitch of the buzz that it makes changes when I move the stick, but the actuator arm never moves.

For testing, I connected it to two-LiPolymer cells - I think I fried it! I'm going to call them and see if they can fix it.

I didn't want to work on the covering until I had the actuators inside. I didn't want to mount them inside until I was sure they were spaced about right. I can't test their spacing without the receiver, so I guess I'm taking a break!
