CaptG,

Glad to see you got it in the air and it flys well. I have to wait 'til Christmas. I didn't know how to get dual flaps, dual ailerons and smoke without going to Glider mode.

I ordered a 20 oz tettra tank from CH since I'm now running the Cline regulator. I went to try out the megasmoke pump I had and found a broken wire going to the GWS ICS50 speed controller inside the pump. Repaired the wire and found it can really pump. I am going to replace the light guage servo lead with heavier gauge wire. The pump is basically just a fuel pump, esc, covered with thin pieces of styrene sheet and then shrink wrapped. The motor may have a cap across it. I've mounted it to one of the Motor mount rails to get the weight in the nose.

Where did yoiu balance yours? How is the roll/pitch coupling?
