I see a lot of references to gas and gasoline. You mean nitro, right? Just checking. Gas in a nitro engine may not work out well.

Got all of the airframe together. Gotta center the servos and make the linkages. Was a really easy build. |

It is a very nice build! Don't forget to trim your fan shroud for the t10 motor. You can get that done while waiting for your motor. Looking good!

Finished up wiring and got receiver and cdi packs. Might go with a bigger receiver pack, not sure yet. Also programmed the robird. So i just gotta drop in the engine and setup the governor. Can't wait!

The T-10 is really cool looking! Love the black pipe too. One tip, doubt that it will be an issue for you, but I was using DENATURED alcohol to clean previously. The MEK additive in the DA tended to degrade the finish on my black Thunder Tiger pipe. I switched to isopropyl and no more issues.
Looking very forward to a flight report, but my assumption is that will be a while. Gasser engines seem to require a longer break-in that glow engines, and it takes longer to sip through the fuel
