Our driveway is going to be re-graveled on Tuesday May 21 around 11am.

We are getting 2 full loads of gravel spread by a slinger truck.

The slinger truck driver directs the gravel to where it's needed and in keeping with TEMAC, it's done by remote control.

Once the first load is done, the driver will leave to collect the 2nd load and come back.

Expect difficulty getting in or out of TEMAC while this is going on.

Sorry for any inconvenience while our re-graveling takes place.

I'll go $15

The OV10 has inner and outer flaps... which are on either side of the motor fuselage.  A 6mm CF tube is glued into the inner flap.  That tube then runs through the motor fuselage. A small connector is glued into the open end of the CF tube.  This connector fits into a slot on the outer flap but is not glued... it's this part that actuates the outer flap.
A servo is put in place inside the motor fuselage.  A control horn is snapped into place around the CF tube and the servo is connected to the control horn.  I don't think there would be any way to get the left and right flaps aligned enough to use a "Y" cable and 1 channel, so 2 channels will be used and the flaps can be adjusted.

The rudder servos Planeprint recommends are small 4.8g Hitech HS-40.  I think they're too small but there's only enough room for these so they'll have to do.  The servo cover screws into 4 posts, but there's no way to get those posts situated perfectly.  So, Planeprint instructions are to screw the posts onto the servo cover, then add a drop of CA to the bottom of the posts and put the cover in place.  When dry, take off the cover and secure the posts with more CA.  Then the servo is attached to the servo cover with double sided tape.  Worked out well.

These lots are still open.  Bidding closes 8 pm Sunday, May 19.

The difference is on the antenna.  AR630 - no antenna.  AR631 - with 1 antenna.  Both are good for the size of Futura 64mm (I assume you wont fly far with that size and speed).  If cost is not an issue, AR631.

A busy night for training.  Came early to fly my own two planes (didn't happen) and prep for training.

New members David, Tony, Omar and Victor showed up to see their trainers fly.  Two were able to get stick time on their planes and two had them maidened but we had the usual Spektrum buddy box problems.
New member George B. showed up, told us he could fly, he did and we immediately conscripted him to instruct.  Thank you George.  Kind of you.

Thanks to Paul and Mark for plane prepping duties. Frustrating when transmitters from the same family cannot communicate between themselves.

A good evening
