Any chance you could take the time to go "under the hood" and show us some of the details on how you fit everything together?  I'm very curious to see how you mounted everything.  I don't see an arming plug or a timer start button, did you hide them somewhere?  How is the timer and ESC mounted?  Can you access your timer without too much difficulty to make programming changes?   Could you show us a photo of your battery tray and how it is actually fit and mounted into the fuselage?  It looks so nicely organized and orderly.

Thanks

As seen here take the battery out and the timer is bolted over the switch. The switch is accessable in front of the landing gear in the air opening hidden from view. The ESC is rubber banded to a fixture which in turn is bolted to the fuse floor.


Arming plug sticks out the bottom in a recessed spot. Everything is hidden from view. I was tired of looking at unsightly switches knobs and protrusions sticking from the fuse. I hate the Velcro method of mounting the battery.
The battery is held in a holder that bolted to a cross member behind the motor. Centered in that is a magnet to hold the cowl on.

Last photo shows how I can change battery location after trimming. Up down backwards or forwards. Plenty of room. I am hoping to move the battery as far back as possible. That means I have the weight of a FOX.35 in the nose and not a brick. Should aid in a sharp turn. The need to fly nose heavy is reduced by engineered parameters such as motor offset and asymmetry. Guess I should have done a spread sheet and some formula to figure this out but I am a hard case.

Well I tried new things and it didn't work. I went to the art store for some ink for film for my Repidograph pens. No luck. I know some use Staedtler pens but no luck there. So the kid said try Micron liner pens. Don't waste your time or money. I tried them and they don't dry. So I ordered some ink and I will have it Friday and I can finish inking then. Saturday is clear day.

Sparky,The start button hidden in the air outlet is sweet.It takes one more wart off the side.

Here it is inked. I went to the blueprint supply house and got what I needed. The lines are dusted with clear to seal them but its too humid to clear today. I am going to fly it this weekend no matter what.

I shot clear today and humidity was high and it did blush a little. I have been sanding with 1000 grit getting ready for the second and final coat. 54.25 now and it stops at 55.5 max. I will be flying this this weekend.

Looks sweet!

Dead weight?

You are almost right. There are no plans for this plane I build out of my head. Maybe someday I will draw some.
