tmj Posted June 26 #1 Posted June 26 A new toy. It's going to take me a while to properly set this thing up and get it ready for its maiden flight, but that's okay. Summer has arrived in Dallas and it's just too darned hot to play outdoors now. I should have it ready by fall, when it's a bit more comfortable to be outdoors. Yes, the cat could fit, but the Mrs. has already caught me eyeballing Lulu and has sternly warned me against trying to give her a commission and a flight suit! What can I say? The Admiral has spoken and I must follow orders... Haliburton, Canute, GrandpaPhil and 14 others 5 4 8 Quote "The journey of a thousand miles is only the beginning of a thousand journeys!"

tmj Posted June 27 Author #5 Posted June 27 I wasn't planning on detailing the actual 'setup' of this thing, as it is quite different than any 'typical' R/C model... but I might if there is enough interest.
