Hey Jack, Yeah mine had the manual..

Raid, fortunately I had downloaded the manual long ago, so that didn't hold me up. I just printed a copy.


You: The straps were installed correctly with the thinner foam on the fuse side????
Maybe just a bad strap is all I can say?? Had no problems today with the
replacement straps and tank... But I did use velco instead of foam this time
with the straps.. My tank moved slightly from the prop wash. I guess it was
because of the backing on the foan I used.. Anyway it's still there after today

Me: I think, after your experience, I'm gonna put some silicone caulking on the tank to hold it firmly in place.


You: Yeah I think they are making a bit on it.... But if you look at the "name brand"
profiles their prices are the same.... HIGH...

Me: after seeing what they've done and the quality of production, I'm not complaining. And it really is a four hour job to put the V2 together.

You: The 51 would be better.. It really likes the YS63

Me: Well, I crashed my Model Tech Extra, damn. Ran into a telephone pole (stupid) and did HER in, but I needed the receiver anyway--and the well run in .45 SuperTigre--which I trust--and which has impressed me with a 12.25 x 3.75 prop, perfect for the Katana, I'm thinking. I'll start with that, anyway. The new ST .51 won't be in until next week, but the footprint is the same--and the weight is ALMOST the same, so I can change it out if I wish.

The bird'll be ready to go tomorrow. I took time building my own extensions for the rear servos, goofed them up, and had to solder them again--not enough length for where the receiver has to go.

My Can Do didn't even see air today. I spent all the time with the rebuilt Twist, with a ST .45 on it. Love that bird--but with the V2 looking as IT does, that old Twist lady may have some competition for my flying passions. We'll see.

Fly well.

Jack
