Love the lights! Just a heads-up though, for nav-lights, the green is on the right, red on the left.
Anybody else scratch building tonight?

Just finished off the final stages of setting up my Bushwacker rebuild. I managed to use the tail section and last third of the fuselage from the Mk1. However. Although I did end up having to build a complete new wing too, the damage to the wing was minor and repairable, but 2 servos where damaged (stripped nylon gears). So I built a new wing and replaced all 4 servos with metal gear Tower pro's. The original Bushwacker had a slight dihedral, which helped improve stability. This time I built the wing flat to see what difference it makes.
I also re-built a front two thirds of the fuselage and new power pod assembly. I have stuck with the same Volantex 4023 1060kv motor but replaced the Spektrum AR620 with an FRsky X8R receiver.
Its been a while since Ive done any building it been mostly repairs and upgrades, this has been a good experience. I decided to stick with the same colours but altered the scheme slightly so it didn't mimic the mk1 too much.
I've just finished swapping the model setup from my Radiomaster over to my Taranis transmitter. All I need to do now is re-bind the receiver to my Taranis, set up the telemetry, add the RSSI to the transmitter screen and complete a range check.
I should be able to taker it out this week for a maiden flight assuming the weather improves.

I was actually just about to ask the same thing I’d say that’s a moderate weight the tellamasters fly great haven’t flown myself but I’ve seen them fly and they can do a lot

How do I reinforce an XPS wing's trailing edge? It's kinda flexible...

Maybe glue BBQ skewers along the trailing edge, I'm not sure

Working the kinks out on my new 3d printer made a few accessories for my mini p38. Thanks to matagami designs for the stl files. Just a quick resize and a lot of learning how annoying LW-pla is, a quick airbrush.

Today I got some pressfit spinners whipped up in fusion360. Took 4 attempts to get them perfect.
And got the cage for a proper canopy roughed out. It needs some adjustments for sure but I like where it's going. I'm gonna cut out plastic bottle to make the glass
Once I get the canopy done and fitted this week it will be time to get decals on and really dig into the paintjob also I need to stop by my niece and nephew's lego pile and put together a couple pilots. I've got 2 aircore planes and this one that are perfect size for an upper torso
