Phil.Taylor Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 HaHa - happy to be a "Z" pilot flying that thing and for those that don't get the joke - and don't follow the funny stuff on RCG - here's pretty much what I posted on there: So which pilots do you think are going to buy this? - who is it aimed at? a. Hardcore F3F junkies who want every last little bit of performance possible? - and no compromises b. Starter F3Fers to get them going on the course? c. Average "Slope Joes" who'd like a big fast plane? d. Dont know - let the market decide... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil.Taylor Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 So this afternoon I finally got started on it... Build log? - maybe a few notes & pics - much of the work is already done for you Moulded in servo tray - holes already cut - just happen to be the exact size for MKS DS6188 servos - except that the holes still needed to be elongated cos the servos have to go in at an angle cos the servo leads are part-way up the case Tail ball joints already fitted Wiring loom already done (small extra cost - well worth it) - neat touch having the fus wires already angled the right way Another neat touch - pre-roughed up connectors for the neat MPJet clevises Skinny fus - wiring loom went in first, before the servos - just enough room for the wires along the sides of the servos Cut the pushrods to length, put the tails on & taped them central, radio on & everything centred, epoxied clevis connectors into the pushrods with the radio on so its all centred nicely Fus kitted out ! - that took just one afternoon - a new personal record. The bits that took longest / most fiddly were enlarging the servo tray holes & trimming the servo horns & enlarging the servo horn holes - and of course the cups of tea & thinking time sitting in the sunshine to make sure it all went together neatly & fuss-free next up - the wings - sometime...
