With RTFs mod and akents step by step on the tail the rest is not to hard time consuming yes. The lights on the flybar will be offered by a company soon as will the linkage adjusters. I am still thinking about the tail mod It is not hard for me to build if there is some interest. Ray

I'd say ray's a perfectionist. But that's not really an adequate term for what he's done with the BS. I don't know what the term is or even if there is a term for that level of work. More than just perfection; innovation and creativity. And the patience and perseverance. I'm worn out just typing the words. ;D
Happy landings

We have to keep the women of the world happy they rule the world you know!! I am doing some futher mods to the BS it makes a good test plateform I ordered the metal upgrade for the big Lama (better built) and with 19000 help I secured some heavy wall carbon fiber tube I will make the mast out of that, I noticed that during throttle up the mast or outside shaft quivers the carbon fiber will not and does not bend I am also looking for 2.5 mm titanium for the center shaft that stuff will bend but has a hell of a memory to it and will spring back to straight. But since the outside shaft is the main support it is more important to keep it straight. Also I am installing a head lock gyro when I am done with this I want to move up to something bigger and different I just dont know what yet... Ray

Ray, did you get the MKS191 gyro? I'd like to hear how well it works. The Telebee on the same site is very small and lightweight. About the size of a quarter and weighs 6g. Also a couple of bucks cheaper.

I read a few articles that said the MKS191 is not compatible with some systems including spectrum now I don't know if they where just hooked up wrong or what but most are going with the 6 gram telebee for $40 to $44 I think I will stick with what has been proven. Ray

That could be a good candidate for my Xeon CP. |
