I think Eric just has one type.. He can program it however you want. Mine is setup like a scale jet ... if you want that just tell him to do it like mine. Landing light turns on/off with gear. JS

OK Guys .. Stupid question time.. I have 3 sets of matching push rods.. They are for aileron, flaps and elevators.. But which is which? Also I assume the REAL short one is nose steering.. Then that leaves 2 long ones one is for rudder (But which one?) WHAT is the OTHER one for?

All... I recommend ether adding another hinge on the door front or doing an 80/20 style and hinging the nose door at the very front. if you drop your gear at to fast of speed you could brake the front off of the door..

I hysoled a 1/8 carbon rod to the inside center of the door from just short of the front to approx 1/2 way back. It won’t break that carbon rod!

Not yet. Went to Winter Warbirds. Maybe in the next week or two. No rush.

I have talked to Dirk and I have decided to take the Purple monster jet and they are going to use the green monster as a company show jet. Looking forward to getting it very soon. Going with either a 210 or 260. Futaba 9157`s, Powerbox Mercury and pulse lipos for power.

Its a fast build. Not much hard stuff to do and it's all electric gear and brakes.

210 flys it well but i think the 260 will be perfect power for it.
