Default RE: Showtime

I came up with a little mod for the Showtime, I was kinda tired of having to take the canopy hatch off to assemble the dang thing. So I ditched the nylon bolts and and installed hard points in the top of the wing for screws to hold the wings on. I figgured that the ST is constructed so much like a 40%'er any way, may as well make it a little less of a PITA to get together at the feild. Pretty easy mod too.
It seems the ST must have a huge balance range, I have a Saito 100 on mine and 3 servos in the tail. I started out with the 5c 1650mah pack over the (close to) the gear mount and ended up moving it back to just in front of the servo tray.
One thing is fer sure, I really like this plane a bunch! A great knock around plane that looks and flys fantastic and is great for those evenings when I dont have time to drag the 38%'r out.

Oh, I did another mod too, I cut the sfg's down to the first brace parallel with the top, they are still very effective, but much less prone to getting broken in taller grass, rough runways, and transport.
