I'll snap a video once its complete! It's a couple months out though. The hard part is not repeating maneuvers as you don't want to do them too many times or you get marked down in points

For a 3ch, basic delta setup you couldn't have done much better. That should fly a lot like my Vulcan, maybe even a bit better with the twin vertical stabilizers

Sweet! It is a lot of fun. I've crashed mine a whole bunch today and picked it back up and kept on flying! It was great until my prop shed a blade and I had an emergency landing..For a 3ch, basic delta setup you couldn't have done much better.

I have a pair of CB radios and I have been trying to get them to talk to each other but no luck yet, I can talk one way but not the other.
When I tx with one, I get good signal on the other one (as good as AM gets thats is) but when I TX with the other I get white noise at the receiving ends, this indicates that it is doing something but I dont know what and I would like to solve that issue.

I have to make the big order for new supplies I've been planning on for a while...but also, I did find I have a few sticks of glue left and enough foam to build something relatively simple. Best bet with the existing supplies will probably be something tailless, but I may be able to get away with a box fuselage/tailed plane if I keep it small and simple.
I've had this idea for a crescent/ C shaped flying wing, I might give that a try. Other than that, something delta or nutbally might be fun. I'll be sure to share.

Got one of these Taranis-Spek hack boards and forked out a couple extra bucks for the spek module. Popped it in and bound up to my original Inductrix no problem! SCORE! Need to fire up the 3D printer and throw a proper pigtail on it, then test it at the field.
Still waiting on one of the multiprotocol boards. It will be interesting to compare the range between a genuine Spectrum TX module and the multi board. Should be able to dump all the other misc TXes... OOOOO, and I'll have to try the multiprotocol with the Traxis too.
Cheers!

EDIT: does appear I have to bind to the inductrix every time I power cycle the frsky though..... More research to be done.
EDIT2: DX5e is a single model tx. Probably have to bind every time with this module. Will have to try other modules too.
Final Edit: Model match DOES work, you just can't specify a model# > 20.

can you say BAJA baby!!!
you could roll over small children and not notice.
it will obviously squat some once the wing, motors, electronics, and 4S-3300 battery is installed but as you can see, i have plenty of adjustment on the 4 shocks.
i still have a ton to do, wing tips, nose light, LED wiring, .... plus i think i am going to mod the vert and horiz stabs.
have to say i have been kinda blaaahhhh about some of my recent builds, but this one has kinda got me smiling.

I decided on a general idea of a nice, basic tailless design with a protected prop with my remaining foam and glue and F pack setup. Also, I restocked on RC supplies to the tune of $240, which consisted of 25 sheets of Adams readi-board(FT brown sold out), 2 lightweight FS IA6 receivers, some HQ props 6x4 clockwise props, two 75 packs of Gorilla all temp mini glue sticks, various decals, a 10 pack of generic blue 9g servos, two back ordered FT EZ 2ch power packs, and the Emax "old" B pack motor(this will be the second one of those I own)

a bit of tinkering today - I started adding some flaps to my converted pilot racer turned sloper, glued up some foam for my slippery Pitcheron, and started planning the wings for rebuilding my DLG.
