Thanks Rafa. Yup, she should be ready pretty soon!

How's yours coming along? Is the wing done?

I'm back on the search for good micro servos. Although the Futuaba 3114's seem to be a good servo for the price, I'm debating about doing better. Iwish JR had something that convinced me but neither the 285's nor 290's do and they are a tad expensive. Other options include the Futaba 3157 and the E-flite DS75 - actually seems to be a nice low weight digital servo with decent speed and torque for a good price. It might be something to try, I'm just not sure they are much better than the HS-55's gear wise.

It is very rare for me to install aileron servo's in the wing center with torque rods especially if I'm going to use two servos. In this case though, Iwanted to avoid having exposed linkages on the wing bottom (and don't like seeing linkages on the top) in order to avoid snagging and possible ripout on landing - remember there are no wheels on this pocket rocket! Still, I'm finding it quite amazing that everything fits in close proximity and I can see that a retract nose gear would fit in the space under the ESC. But, Idecided to leave retracts as a Nanorare feature as Iwas a little tired of working on wing wheel wells (4 in a row...)

Now, I'm just debating on whether to switch the aircraft via the ESC to Rx connection to arm the rocket or to do it in the safer Battery to ESC jumper fashion. I'm actually unsure what the status of an ESCis when plugged into power but not into a Rx for control. Perhaps Andy could shed some light on whether it is safe to switch an ESC via its Rx lead (i.e., no potential for prop turning). Iseem to recall that E-flite ESC's have a switching Rx lead so it's perhaps safe to put a 3 lead switch inline with the ESC to Rx lead.

Electric has its dangers... it doesn't take much for that prop to turn, especially on some ESC's. Castle's don't requiring moving the throttle stick for arming which is something that one needs to do on Electrifly ESC's.
