Sky High, You have been busy. Lots of reading to catch up and you are right the more people read and reply of course the longer it gets. I usually check every couple of days for new info and comments. Things have slowed down on the site beacause of old man winter I guess[:@]. Good time for looking at changes and a bit of garage flying. Wind up here seems to go on forever in the winter.

I checked my IR sensors and they are all equal and in line with the horizon.

Some interesting ideas you put forward. I put some of the foam on the camera mount and will give it a try when the wind stops.

I like your lighting systems. I used tire flys from radio shack. They weigh in at 8 grams each and come in white, red and green. With fresh batteries they work very well but they are only alkaline so don't last long. Keep us posted on your nav light systems.

How long have you been flying the DF? You have some good flying abilities. I still am only flying tail in but I can manover pretty good this way.

I am surprised you haven't gone to CF blades. They are excellent. I did however have to make the spacer that goes underneath of the blade longer back about 3/8". The blades were touching the support arms at times which I didn't like especially in a bit o wind.
