well its 99.5 % finished .
coming up nicely .
heres a few pics of how 'ive set it up .
ive put a light strip of pine along the bottom , and i litght strip of balsa along the top edge for landing both right way and upside down . i re enforced the wing tips elevon and rudder with fibre tape , and most edges with hot melt glue , that stiffened the fuse , but there was too much flex on the top, so i cut some balsa strips and angled them with hot melt onto the wing and elevon . . i'm pretty happy with it , at 3/4 throttle this will lift off verticle with the 11x4.7 slow fly e prop. i also fitted a prop saver , it has some really good throws , so i factored in 40% expo . the dual rates are down to 60% with 20% expo for more sport like flying , i've loved building this plane . , i'm not overly impressed with the way i hinged it with tape , there is a little verticle movement on the control serfuces , however thats probably a little podantic with this foamy , i'd like to mount the battery a little better , i put heavy felt velcro , instead of light felt belcro which allows the battery to float around a little .

still having the flashing on the orange receiver . HOWEVER , I TRIED something , i turned on the TX 1ST AS YOU DO , BUT LEFT THE THROTTLE UP , when i plugged in the battery on the plane , it went trhough a sequence of beeps for about 5 minutes , then finally a solid light on the receiver , but no throttle . i turned off the tx and back on again , and the receiver was solid with everything working . . after turning unpluging the battery pack turning off the tx and replugging the pack and then turning on the tx again . its working but the flashing is back , it also goes crazy when i use elevator and rudder at the same time the receiver becomes intermittant then . so i dont know whats happening there . ill need to fire up the cessna and see if it happens on another setup .
however back on topic . loving this plane , and it will be ready soon .
