Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

hi Kevin,
here's a couple pics of the lightened AA. it didnt take much, just cut out some slots in the wings, trimmed as much foam from the inside of the fusealge as possible, CF tail boom, 1/32" tail feathers, and thats about it.

i dont have a pic of the modded RXs at the moment, but most of the mods require some decent soldering skills. i removed the M7 charging diode, the blue electrolytic cap, the charging plug and prongs, and the switch. doing these mods will drop the weight of the RX down to about a gram. i was able to do these modifications because i charge the cells with my own charger, not the stock TX charger. most of the components need to remain on the RX if you're charging with the TX though. i'll try to find a pic of the RX.
