Man that plane is awesome! Just rock solid in everything it does. If anyone is looking for a couple 30cc planes, I think another 50cc might be a good Christmas present to me

There is a reason why many people say it's the best 50cc 3D airframe out there.

On a Scott Stoops related note...I got lots of work done on my 103 this weekend!

Ya that 103 is lookin good...really digging the trim!

after and before...

hmmm..... servos mounted throughout the whole 104 (sans throttle and bastard screws in the elevators )

I will never complain about getting elevator servos installed on a 50cc again... go them to drop in real pretty on the 104..... morning trip to Harbor Freight to get a phillips head precision driver that can reach down in there

I may beat the snow for completion

Why on Earth are you using the stock phillips servo screws?

2.0mm socket head...you don't have for apply ANY downward force

and since I'm on the topic:

Use these instead of the phillips screw that holds the servo arm on...same 2.0mm socket....no stripping, no downward force.

I use them because they work?

Those are nice suggestions though.. I have never had a problem with the force part on the standard Phillips head screw part... I have stripped one or two in the past but throw them out

Probably need just as long of a driver to get in there as I would for the Phillips unless you think i would be using a ratchet set with extensions

That is an excellent over/under margin.....

Part of my winter building/recovering and general maintenance is to order a bunch of those screws and replace all my phillips head screws. Keith because I have so much faith in you ill take the under

Looks great Josh, and Moose! Nice work. I haven't been out flying much, too much stuff at the house to do. Have been getting some sim time though during the rain. : )


I decided to part with the Osiris ...if any of you want it let me know.

Wow.... The Osiris is moving out... You like to fly "outside the box" don't ya?

I will put that right with replacing all my Deans connectors with PowerPoles...

That is another one Moose marked off his RC Bucket List
