Hi PJ
Finally finished the plane, took a little while to buff out, hope to get a few flights on it over the next few weeks, pleased with how it all came together, full takeapart again. Still pretty similar to my older Dready, just changed a few little cosmetic things.
Try to keep it to yourself, I haven’t bothered with posting anything for obvious reasons, will wait untiol the nats to let everyone see it.

Mind games.. nahh -
Yeah been thinking about it for a while bit hard to look past it when its reliable and all that. Ive been lurking on all the forums getting a lot of info but trying not to let it get out, seem the best way so far has been to kinda make myself out to not like electric u know..
PA setup ? Yeah if you need any tips let me know – later..

Hi Derek,
Seems like you have it all figured out with that electric setup – nice to see your still thinking about how to win – didn’t think of you for much of a head games player.
I might need you to give me a few tips on the PA’s As you know ive gone to the new one, so when your finished I will get some info from you on it.
Keep me informed. – Regards PJ

Hi PJ.
Actually I have been developing the electric setup for the past few months on an old test ship that dad built for a customer. Originally I did it just to look into what all the fuss was about and it became pretty clear that an electric engine was the way to go.
Specs are as follow :
Motor AXI 2826/12.
Motor is also supported via 6mm lange
CC ICE 50 lite
FM-9 timer system
Im still playing around with some different props, I have on order somenew carbon ones.
Derek

Good job, PJ.

Derek,
Nice plane, Just one heads up. If the model had the same numbers as the original plane U might find that U might find that the C.G will be located in a different place than a piped model.
-
Yes, I have found you have to move the CG forward compared to an IC model.
-
That engine bay looks a lot like Peter Germann's. Ineteresting that this info would come out on this date :)
