Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Here's mine, I put a RCV .91 CD under the hood, with a remote glow system, I had to get creative with the adapter because the stock rubber boot one included was too tall. I used a 5/32 wheel collar drilled out to .101" and took the chrome plating off one side, soldered the lead to it and changed the set screw out to a 4-40 cap head screw. Just put a small slice of silicone fuel tubing between it and the base of the plug and you got a very low profile connection that can be removed at the field if needed to change out the plug. After running the RCV, I realized that glow heat isn't needed, but it's got it anyway, I glassed the firewall on with 6 ozs cloth and MAS epoxy too. For servos I ran 475 hitec on the alerions with a carbon fiber interlink and sig alerion connectors for biplanes, (2) JR 537's on the elevator halfs and a hitec 565 MG on the rudder with a 322 hitec on the throttle. Believe it or not, I chucked it on the scale with 11 MAH battery and switch and reciever and it all comes out to 8.5 LBS, I figure about 8.75 with foam rubber and onboard glow battery, but I might change to a LIPO and a regulator to feed the reciever and the onboard glow as well. Just gotta glue and screw the canopy down and set the throwas and she'll be ready for a madien flight this week or next weekend.
