Sunset build thread for everyone

[thenated0g]

@Chris First starfire getting colors, second one getting glued, and third one was cut this morning. So bring a couple 12ish gram servos, rx and battery. I got a couple of those 1400mah LIFE packs you guys carry coming today to see if they fit as the 800's were out of stock. The 800's or similar size nimh would be best.

 

[Wayne]

Yep - We drained all of the 800 packs out of the country. Told we will have more soon.

 

[Chris]

NICE Ill bring some things to put in it!

 

[thenated0g]

I can see why, not only are they hard to find but everyone else sells them for 2-3x what you guys are.

 

[thenated0g]

Since im doing I-beam spars, it would be a pain to run servos later, so i will sink some servo cables in before spars. Just need to solder each end.

@thenated0g I'm in the same shoes, got a msg from the supplier that their next shipment is early May... There is still the Spektrum 900mah but at $25..

@Red Is that the one I saw at your work?

Same molds, yes.

 

[thenated0g]

Not sure sure on vertical sizes so i have another set that is 20% bigger.

 

[thenated0g]

Same molds, yes.

Did you get to fly any of them yet? I remember it was crazy light.

oh yeah flown them a ton. Always dropped from a mothership though, this will be the first time on the slope.

Was just checking out the Wowings website and noticed that the Skua, which is very similar to the starfire, has really big verticals...so i may have to bring some really big ones for maiden just in case its needed.

Skua:
