Sayal is just up the street from Active. It's worth the stop if your in the area.

Active Electronics. Dave Edwards told me about the place. I finally bought a decent soldering iron too. Shipped quickly.

It's this stuff you want:

I see you are referencing the silicone conformal coating.  Others recommend the acrylic version.
Which one is best for our use when float flying?

Hmm, good point. The kind I have is actually the acrylic one. I'm sure they're both good.

New plane all ready. Day off. Honey do list cleared. Anxious to fly and RAIN!!

Arrrrgh!!!!

The good news is that if it keeps raining like this, we'll be able to host a float fly at the field soon.

between the anger management classes and the counseling to not buy more airplanes this hobby is going to kill all my time lol

Well the best I can do at this point is try to get out to TEMAC tomorrow evening. Now I have about four hours worth of discharging to do ... I gotta tell ya ... the anger management classes ain't working too good!

I have to say, I kinda don't mind the rain today, this showed up for me yesterday afternoon 







I could scarcely believe it as I placed the order on Monday! They shipped it out same day and 4 days later voila!

At 46-inches long this is a big plane for a 70mm jet. Quality of the kit and finish look excellent, but it will require a lot of work. Definitely the most involved build I have done to date. The good news is my parts bin should have everything I need except for a thrust tube.

[Ededge2002]

Well dosent that look NICE!! Where did you order it from? I guess it got there so quick because that thing is doing 100mph SITTING STILL!

[Ededge2002]

Meanwhile im sitting here looking at this and out the window alternately.

Thanks Ed, yeah I was looking around for another 70mm edf for awhile and this one fit the bill, although it is ancient. This kit was first released in 2005! I ordered it directly from HET in China.

PS That's a mean looking hotliner! If its anything like the Rifle, it should seriously haul.

nice jet!

That thing looks fast just sitting on your couch.

Its the FLAMES Ben!  Everybody knows a flame paint job makes it go faster.  Your Green Meanie is still going to be faster though

Than I ordered it directly from HET in China.

Hey Jeff, I often wondered about ordering from them .. did you have to pay duty/customs?
