MIA: the EVSD-5U-PRO-ST - Solved!!!

They weren't inside the coffin with the ViperJet

They were coming on a separate envelope, being shipped directly by AirPower in Taiwan to me. Arrived this afternoon

On to the build. I will post pictures. One thing I was looking in the hardware bag, they sent several L aluminum servo mounts, I suspect some will be used on the stabs and rudders. The rudder by the way, already comes with two heavy duty carbon rods. I haven't looked at the rudder hinge attachment area to see if it was reinforced, though.

The aluminum wing tube is no longer a simple tube, it's an extruded cilindrical aluminum profile, with internal reinforcements, lightweight yet heavy duty.


And also, there's this additional tank that looks like an air tank, but it's for pressurizing the struts and tires, or so I've been told. Also a syringe and silicon oil for lubricating the o-rings was included. Very nice touch!

The DVD has a manual that appears to be newer than the version I had downloaded from the site. I had this hapen to my BVM Bandit ARF as well - the manual shipped is way more complete than the on-line version. Two videos on the DVD - one from JetPower 09, with Ali flying it absurdly slow, and another older video from what looks like the first prototypes.
