Big grin and thats just from a couple or maiden tootles around the field... cant wait to see your expression when you start to wring it out after run in :)

Nice one!

Yes, flew again today, ironed out the tail drift. Just need to pick up canopy so I can start doing some circuits.

Cheers Jason

No worries! My hangover didnt clear till 4, so no time for flying :( Might be out on Wednesday though.

[KnifeEdge]

well have a good one if you do, hope it will be warmer than it was today!

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!

I too was worried about this on my Aurora as it uses the same setup. No problems so far (touchwood) :cheers2:

Finally Done!

Just picked up my Fins & Canopy today from Dave Fisher.

Must say Dave has done a great job, first class.

Just need some nice weather now.

[jiberjaber]

Looking good James. :)

[KnifeEdge]

The hard part now is to keep it looking good!

[Tom Burgess]

Looks good :) amazing the amount of heli's those Align blade caddies find themselves on!

[jiberjaber]

Well I managed to see this new canopy in flight today, it looks great. The pictures make it look like it has been photoshoped in to them, the depth of clear coat is great and realy adds to the finish.... great bit of spraying by Mr Fisher :)
