Cracking news.... knew you couldnt stay away for too long :)

[KnifeEdge]

Yes could not keep away. Got to wait for servos and exhaust though.

I am setting up using the "stable settings"

Some snap shots of the build so far. Build has been excellent. Everything bagged properly, hardware is High Tensile steel, so haven't stripped any socket heads.

The only thing i am a bit nervous about is the push rods for the tail. I am used to having a solid link between servo and tail, but this has carbon rods with 80mm studding each end, the studding is glued in place with epoxy, with 9mm poking out. The links are then screwed on. Would have thought solid piece of studding would be better. Just hope the epoxy doesn't fail!

touch of heat shirk over the carbon tube and ball link once setup helps
