Now this is a radio tray !!! the center tank ( hopper ) goes through the big cut out in the tray., The smaller tray holds the elevator servo and the batteries ( if that’s where the CG permits )

Here are some more gear door hinging parts .. the aluminum bracket is the air fill valve mount … separate fills are provided for gear, doors and brakes.

here is the elevator control mechanism .. these pieces are solid !! there is no way I can ever see the elevator as failing of even wearing out using this system. Superior engineering and quality are really apparent in this area !!

Its late and I’m off to bed for tonight … I plan on starting on this kit some time early in January. It looks to be a fast enjoyable build. I will start a build thread when the assembly commences … I think its about time Tom Cook starts getting some recognition for the quality he delivers . Tom ! YOU ARE THE MAN !!

If anyone wants any more info or details on the kit, I will be more than happy to take more pictures, and post more info … AS for tonight, I will likely not be able to fall asleep thinking up of paint scheme ideas for Chip ( http://www.uflyhobbies.com/custbuild.htm )

Hey wojtek after seeing the flames on your new bobcat and given the name firebird i think there should be some sort of fire and bird in the scheme.
