Default Sounds like you have it together

Hey DeadMeat,

Sounds like you have it pretty much put together. I built one last spring and flew the crap out of it all summer. It flies great and goes right where you point it. Go easy on the rates the first time you fly it as it moves pretty quick. It should fly well with the Irvine you picked up. I put a K&B 61 in mine and its more than enough.

One small thing that I forgot to do was to grind down a flat spot in the front nose gear where the screw tightens into it. If you don't the gear will break free the first time you have a rough landing. I didn't have a file with me at the field the first day and it broke my heart to have to stop flying.


Good luck and show us some pics.
