thanks for all the kind words this was Pretty epic for me to get going but I was not going to give up ...

Darkwarder : ended up with my 2300 A123 on the front of the radio tray opposite the rudder servo with my Receiver between the 2 and for now a 2 cell 1320 mah lipo through a regulated switch and that is up on the tail side of the Firewall just under the fierglass overhang of the cowl . remove your canopy and you will see the space there.

bugnutZ : try http://www.mcmaster.com/ or http://www.mcfadden-dale.com/ for your eye bolts .

Fishdeath: the video is gonna be a maybe as I am usually the one that everyone turns to when they want a decent video of their flight hehe, Im sure I can talk someone into doing it

Lee : the checkers are just cut out of white monokote , if you look closely you can tell that I just eyeballed the placement, they are kinda wavy and not meant to be LOL. This being my first big plane I assume I am gonna plant it into the ground at some point, the Graphics on the plane were to personalize it as well as give my self a crash course in applying covering and trim ect. Also on the DA I would give them a call, they have great CS and if it broke from just vibes they should warranty it for ya.

will keep ya all up to date after next go . Gonna try and talk my buddy into thursday , he's building a plane now ( electric ) I may go over there and rush him along , he'll be more apt to want to go if he has a new plane to maiden hehe.

cheers all
