Thomas has been making an Edge 540 3D model (really rough build). In any case this morning I noticed the trail of mess he's left all over the house (I think he's been cutting foam in every room!). So I was commenting to my wife just how messy the little bugger was. She said he takes after me :eek:

In the pictures of my room further up the thread http://forum.flitetest.com/showthre...ongst-yourselves&p=50869&viewfull=1#post50869 you can see a small scratchbuilt plane. It's the Manta 3D, just sloppily put together. Still not airworthy though, I don't have my 1300mAh battery home yet. It's gonna be a real pig to fly, but it's got more than 1:1 power to weight ratio. Should go straight up in the air.

How was your day?

Is the snow melted yet?

AHAHAHAHAHA! You guys must be bored!

I just took my JR XP 652 radio apart. I found that the part where the antenna is fastened was desoldered. And I found a shot 3A fuse in it. No wonder it wasn't working!

I am clueless.

Are you bringing something with you to fly while you're there? Something with a camera attached to it hopefully.

Yeah, they tend not to like not having an antenna when powered up.

Fact is I don't know how long it's been like this. I have tried flying it before and I would get glitches at around 250 feet. 72MHz should have solid signal for quite far!

Anyway, no fuses around so I'll put that on a hold for a while.

I also need to replace two switches on my DX6i.
