I had a question, but you already answered it! LOL
But do tell what the particulars are as far as radio gear and prop selection..I'm sure a lot of guys are highly interested!!
And what did you do on the wing tips..they look trans purple too...
Plane looks great! You did an excellent job.

Servos are all ht 425bb except throttle, 81. I used RC car paint on the wing tips, Candy Purple. Was going to do the canopy too but my airbrush is too fine and I couldn't get it even on that big of a surface. Used white car paint on the cowl also. It's designed to be used on the inside of clear lexan bodies and resists fuel. Got a 12x7 apc on the ys 63. 11.5k leaned out.

I'm almost done with my Freestyle. I am really impressed with the construction, weight, and how well things align by design. Pics to follow. Anve any of you seen one fly with the blue transparent monocote? I was planning on using the trans blue, but have heared it's difficult to see in the air. Any comments?

I have blue transparent monokote on my funfly. It certainlly is no as visible as yellow or orange but not bad either. It looks beautiful with a combination of opaque white or yellow!

No mods yet, but I do have two pieces of 2" trailing edge stock thanks to ChuckAuger. I'll have bigger ailerons soon.
Don't know the weight, only epoxy I used was joining the wing. Screwed up and used the 1.5mm sheeting for the turtle deck and bonnet so it might be lighter but those areas are weak and I must use extra care handling my model. When building, the thinnest sheeting is 1.5mm and is for the wings. The 2mm is for the turtle deck.

Canpoy is glued on and ultracote trim on the front edge. And Scott, going after I shower. Almost forgot, I did glass the wing joint, maybe added a half oz or so..

Hay tmproff, have you ever used "Rich's Brew" fuel? They are in Houston too. I have been using his stuff for years, and really like it. His 25/20 Heli blend is awsome in my engines, 2 & 4 cycle.

Great maiden flight! A few clicks of right aileron and off we go. Did a knife edge spin and some waterfalls. Didn't want to get too carried away, only 30 minutes on the engine. It's kinda plain, would love to have those graphics. I got the pdf files from the Pilot web site, just need to find a printer who will print on clear vinyl with ink thats fuel proof. Just don't really care to spend a whole lot.

Yeah, I use 10% Riches Brew quite often for my Irvine, but use Torquemaster for my Saito's. Also, anyone interested in getting the graphics for the Seduction, you can email Randy at:
[email protected]
All graphics are $35 shipped...I'm planning on getting them

Hey guys we just finished our Seduction FF this morning and test flew it in the park down the street. It flew great only needed a few clicks of down trim. Needs some left rudder in the harriers and some right rudder in the waterfalls. we will try to get some pics soon. Have fun Chris & Rod.

I flew my seduction for the 4th time yesterday. I was having problems with the CG and some elevator linkage, but it flew pretty nice. I am still working on the incidence on the wings....

h82crash,
Could you please tell me the control throws you are using on everything? Also wondering how much slop you've got in everything.
How do you have your wing held into the slot at the LE?
