Almost done now! I've been able to get the AXI 5330/F3A motor and other electronics completed, I opted to use 2 VHVBec's (Very High Voltage) in parallel with the JR 2.4GHz RX. I've been using BEC's exclusively the past year and a half the only issue here was finding ones that could handle 12S, which these new VHVBec's from Dimension Engineering can handle. I mounted the Jeti Spin 99 on 3/4" standoffs to give it ample airflow, this should do a good job of keeping it as cool as possible. The chin cowl and canopy have been mounted, I have to say I found this the most tedious of all the little things that were not completed out-of-the-box, lining up the carbon pins and the sleeves plus sanding them really isn't a job that I found remotely enjoyable. Any future composite plane I buy needs to have this stuff completed already! I aso painted the canopy, I decided to try fish-net stockings to give it a scaled appearance, I think it came out pretty nice, I completed it with a faded shadow border to give it better 3 dimensional qualities.

Well, nothing more to do but mount the wheel pants, wing servos and fashion a battery tray. I am leaning towards using 2 carbon rods in the fuse and make the battery tray so it slides in past the forward tube, drops down and "hooks" that tube when pulled backwards again. This would make an easy in-out solution as all you'd have to do to fasten it would be pull it back and velcro to the rear tube, this should prove interesting and quick if it works. I have a Mejzlik 20 x 12E CF prop, I'll mount it after I get everything else completed and do a run-up with numbers posted.

Getting excited!
