Default RE: Ultrafly Cessna 182 ARF

Hey man good to hear from ya. I only have 1 3 yr old and can't imagine trying time to build more than 1-2 planes a year with 2 !!!! your doing awesome. I fall asleep early now too and if I get a good 4-6 hours in then I get up early to work a little on the plane, it's 6:30 am now. I am 40 now and remember the time when I could go DAY'S without sleep. The other trick for the servos is to heat shrink shrink wrap ( recievers too) around them and then glue your servo down. then just cut the shrink wrap for repairs etc.... and redo. Awesome on the new planes !!! I was just watching the A10 videos this past Friday at work on eflightline.com and have always thought that was a great model. The P51 will be bad to the bone too and if you go brushless/LiPo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I think my next 2 builds will be my combat wing from Atlanta Hobby and a scratch built Boeing 747 airliner from one of the 4ft wingspan foam gliders at the hobby shops. Going to use the GWS ducted fans etc... heres a link you GOTTA check out to one I hope to own one day ( always have wanted one of these types of plane to fly ) http://edfmodel.com. My buddy "V" just got the Ultrafly F-16 and I hope to see the kit tonight, he said the kit was really nice and that with the new brushless MTR they're coming out with that it will go verticle UNLIMITED !!!! He also has the BAE Hawk that he is starting to build. He also just custom built a parkzone Styrker and I am going to post the pics of it and will let you know. I have a Styrker as well and I tell you that it will be hard to beat that plane out of the box!!!! takes a beating and flies like hell. I love mine and you can fly it on the windy days. And do me a favor and send me the link to LHS I would like to check out they're site. Hers a couple pics of what I did to reinforce the control horns to the control surfaces instead of using the screws that came with ( mine were not all there) so I had to come up with someting anyhow. Later man ! PS . you can also see where I used velcro to hold down the wing servo so that I could swap them out easily between both wings ( I am going to use a Y servo cable as well.
