So Far looks like your doing great!!

I've build/Flown .40 sized SPADS.
I've built/flown giant scale.
I've never ran dual tanks (other than one for gas and one for smoke).
I tried home made mufflers and gave up...they all rattled apart.
(However, I have an awseome point of contact though for TOP QUALITY mufflers for around $25 plus shipping).
I used to fly Hitec Spectra module Prism 7 with several different Rx's.

And get this.... I've used a DB 15 connector for a 4 servo wing in my old ultrastick 1.20...hehehe...worked great...but was a PAIN to solder...then dipped in silicone sheath.

Don't ask for pics of the DB15 connector...I wiped out the plane on maiden....(reversed ailerons)...I was so upset with myself I almost quit the hobby...it was the second time in 3 months...both maiden flights...other was a TopCap....

Just keep using those ideas that come up in the SPAD forums and spadworld.net under bigguns....there's a lot of good info out there from those who HAVE done it...

And YES.... I WILL GET MY RYOBI TO HOVER.....
someday!!

Also, definitly know how time goes....try a 5 month old baby...phew...biggest time consumer...then second home based business...and active duty military career to balance...along with keeping a fully functional relationship with my lovely wife. Bless her sole for her paitence with my hobbies and my poor time management skills....oh...and getting tagged with being Vice Pres, Secretary, and webmaster for our club...

Just keep us posted....I'll try the same....
I have my first wing half folded and my cutting board engine mount done....now for 3 more hours......just...got ...to get ....arg...the time....hehehe...

Best of luck!
