Default RE: Customized Chip Hyde Vision 3D!

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Here is some more info on my build...

I used a DA50 for power with a stock DA muffler. Had to cut the crap out of the cowl, but it doesn't look too bad. Servos are Hitech 5945 all the way around, except for a 475HB on the throttle and a 5995TG on the rudder.

I used carbon fiber landing gear, spinner and tailwheel, a 1400mah Nicad on the ignition and will use a Lithium pack for the Futaba PCM receiver.

I've got a SmartFly regulator/Miracle switch with a pushrod adapter on the switch, mounted just over the wing.

Lightweight tires came from BME Aircraft, and are extremely light at 2.45 oz for both wheels!

I used a Hobby Lobby hatch latch that was epoxied into a recess in the styrofoam turtle deck. The release pin was removed and Loc-Tited back in with an aluminum sleeve extension added.
