With a little soldering and other modding, this kicks the behind of most systems 10 times the cost... I have about 25 receivers knocking around in my foamies, all running of this... The one exception being my old school jet (as in actual jet) which has a dedicated system with more redundancy, as it carries a fair few pounds of mass, and most of that highly flammable fuel...

You're welcome around... I'll fire up the pot, and charge the batteries... :wink: Can't take of from home with the jet though... Last time the local constables had issues with me doing touch-n-goes on the nearby highway... :wink: (It was closed for work, and the work crew was sitting around watching me... Which I guess is why the foreman called it in... )

Today I swapped the very effective flip screen for the better looking Fabri double bubble. I know there will be less wind protection, but I will be able to swap back when I want to do high miles.

Here is a side view comparison between the 2, you can see why the flip is so good for deflecting the wind.

Oh yeah oops! As well as my boot, the other things that now match include... Half the garage floor, a moto-x stand, and half my mountain bike :(

But I'm chuffed with the belly pan :D

Done a bit of tinkering on the bike today but didn't win so gave up :lol: Adjusted and lubed my chain. It's getting worn to the point where new chain and sprockets are too close to the point. :( They will be next to do on my urgent list. A bit sooner than I was hoping. :( :( :(

You guys got me surfing and watching YouTube RC Jets for 2 hours last night :) :) :) They are way cool. :thumbup:

The jets are just mental ! The speeds they can go is unbelievable .
It takes a good pilot to fly one and a even better one to land one lol

i'd always be worried they'd fly out of range/eyesight, couldn't afford to spend lots of money on it, only to crash and destroy the dam thing, p.s i love the 747 rc plane.... :thumbup:
