Look what I just bought from http://giantmodelproducts.com/
I can't believe the price 375 delivered to your door. Thats just a little over 300 if you deduct for the shipping for a GoldWing MX2.

Now the biggest reason I bought from GMP is customer service.
With so many places when you buy somthing and have a question your on your own. Tower Hobbies included. You won't find this at GMP.
Gerry is very knowledgeable about all his products and stands behind them.
So I can feel confident that when I buy from GMP I have excellent tech support

Now I couldn't resist taking everything out. The frist thing I noticed was there were no wrinkles in the covering

The pull pull cables for the rudder are already installed.
This plane comes with a carbon fiber wing tube for extra strength. It also comes with a carbon fiber tailwheel assembly for strenght and light weight and a aluminum landing gear.
It even comes with allen wrenches.
I was also suprized to see a glow motor mount included.

Now of course I don't plan on using a canister this plane comes with that option

She really brightens up the room when you put the wings on her.
As I was assembling her I noticed that I can use either a single servo, or dual for the elevators.

That's one fine looking plane. If it flies as good as it looks, you're in for a treat !!! What engine you hanging on the front?

I havn't decided on an engine yet as I am on a shoe string budget. But I'm thing of maybe a DLE 30 from Tower on the easy pay. I bought my 9C that some some 3 years ago.
I bought some GOTECK CS5509 229 oz servo's from GMP today for 30 dollars apiece,along with the CS 5511's that are324 oz's @4.8 and 356 @6 volts
Now for the Rudder I got the GOTECK CS 5515 that has a whooping 416 oz's @4.8 and 486 @ 6v for 50 dollars.
Now I'm not going digtal. I really don't want the expense. And frankly I've flown big gas planes years ago before there was digtals and digtals have a much higher current draw.
So I'm excited to get these servo's installed and check them out

Beautiful airframe. I have the 58" green MX2 from Goldwing and its top quality as well. Your going to be very pleased with the way it flies.
Have Fun!

Thanks, I've done alot of work on her, and several pictures. But for some reason I'm having a problem uploading pictures now on this site

I started my build and have made alot of progress along with a few mistakes.
I of course welcome any input and pictures or video's.
I started by applying vasoline to my hinge pins and and wetting a couple of paper towels with acohol to wipe any excess epoxy. I use one for wiping down the the part after I've finished it I keep it really wet
I then mixed up the 5 min epoxy and coat the predrilled hinge holes in the rudder and one end of the hinge. Carefully putting the hinge in the hole I would remove the excess epoxy with a tooth pick.
Once all the hinges were in the rudder I put it on the vertical stab and worked the rudder back and forth to center the hinges. I then very carefully removed the rudder. Wiping it down removeing any epoxy and fingerprints.

I did the same thing to each elev half

next i put the horizonal stab in the fuse and centered it up. I then took a sharpie and drew a line on both the top and bottom of the stab. Now where the line was there was 3 layers of covering and I went through 2 blades cutting the covering being careful not to cut itno the wood.
then making sure I had plenty of acohol wetted paper towel I slide the stab in just off cented and applied epoxy on the top and bottom of the long side.
I then pushed the stab off center on the other side and applied epoxy. I then slide the stab back to center all the while wiping an epoxy off.
Now when I cented my stab I pulled a line from just at the back of each side of the canopy to the leading edges of the H stab.

Next was the the surfaces control horns. I started by sanding the control horns and cutting out the slots on the surfaces. Now on the ail this was no problem but when it came to the elev's and rudder there is 3 layers of covering and those slots are hard to find. I ask them in the redwing MX thread where the slots were at but I was wanting to do that job so I lifted the covering and cut the slots out. then On a low temp I resealed the covering.
I then installed the ball links on the control horns and epoxied them in place.

No on the rudder control horns I had to sand the back of them to make them a little rounded so as they would go into the slots. I glued my rudder control horns the same way I glued my H stab. But after it dried I noticed it was 3 mm off center.
I put an old blade in my excto knife and using a lighter I heated the blade and after little time I was able to get the horns loose. I then reglued them this time getting them centered

Looking Good. Don't you just love the green and black scheme? I think its one of the best overall schemes I have seen in a while. I have also seen the same scheme in red and blue, and its nice as well.

Now the ball links are extra tight so I ran some thread rod through one and put some nuts on the rod locking the ball down and chucked it up on a drill and spun it some for a minute or so but this really seemed to make it only stiffer so I didn't do it to any of the others.

Now I went ahead and glued the elev halfs and rudder to their stabs the same way as before with the vasoline and acohol

sorry I didn't see your post you slipped that in on me LOL yes SJ I do like the green there are alot of red planes but this color scheme is alot differnt
I"ll bet it is pretty in the red and blue also

Next I Installed the ail servo's. I went with GMP's GOTECK GS 5515's http://www.giantmodelproducts.com/in...t34o4ffrng3ot5
I then assemble the servo control horns to the supplied control arms and adjusted the linkage.
I found that I had to cut my End point adjustment on my 9C was back so I elected to use the GOTECK sevro arms and I was able to use 100 percent on the EPA of my 9c then
I found that even though my ball links were stiff the GOTECK's had no problems centering

Now when I put the elev servo's in I had a bit of a problem drilling the holes for the servo's because I should of drilled them before I put the stab in.
I used GOTECK 5511's on the elev halves and once again they had perfect centering.
I also used GOTECK's supplied servo horn's saving some weight, yet still getting full deflection. these servo's also have great centering.
I elected to use the dual servo's option. It was really easy to set up with my Futaba 9C. I used the AILEVATOR function on the 2nd screen that uses channel 2 and 8

when I was putting in one of the elev servo's I poked a hole in my fuse with my jeweler screwdriver. I'd like to blame it on my stroke like disease (GBS) but I should of had a cloth laying across the fuse to begin with. OWELL I'll put a dcecal there

I went with the GS 5515 on the rudder also along with using it's control horn instead of the GW servo control horn. I still had to cut my EPA back to 90 percent. I put the ball link on the rudder horn and tighten each cable and then ran another loop through the crimp tube before crimping. now my rudder is working perfect.
These GOTECK servo's are high voltage servos that can run on 7.2 volts

I worked on my landing gear though it was so simple as most of the work is already done.
I started by bolting the axles to the gear.
Next I put the 1st wheel collar on the axle leaving just enough space to be able to slide the wheel pant on. I also put the set screw poing down.
Then I put the wheels on. The wheel fit really well. not to tight or to loose. of course next was the outer wheel collar and once again with the set screw pointing down for easy access.
It was only a matter of bolting the wheel pants on an the job is done

Now since I've gotten this far I just had to put the green machine together.
The green MX is such an eye catcher I can't wait to get it in the air.
THANKS GMP

I'd bet the DLE 30 will be a match made in heaven.

I think so too.
Now I'm just waiting for the funds
I went to the MX web site and was looking at the green MX. I'm going to use some of they're decals in the same place as theirs.
