My Duellist, piped OS 46VF, anodized spinners/pipes, retracts, a great flying plane that survived for years - sold it after I figured all the luck was drained. Pic was @1997 My first plane after the rebuild, X-Ray. Not a great trainer, I learned a lot.

My first quad, Armattan Chameleon. Tough as a boot, I never would have made it this far without this amazing machine. -

A local guy had a Chameleon at the field, after talking to him I decided to buy one for my first quad attempt. I am very happy with that decision. -

Asus Transformer Mini running Windows 10 stashed in the lid of my TX case.
Hammer 20
We join this kit build already in progress.
Lance picks up an almost framed up Chinn Yak. This is the original Billy Hell/Jeremy Chinn kit, not the EF ARF. Luckily, the build wasn't very far along and I was able to jump in there and make a few mods to get this thing into the super cool realm.
The wing was framed up, but not sheeted. I seized this opportunity to build a battery box in the bottom of the LE so the pack can be concealed in the airframe. After checking out Rumple's super cool Sabre 47, the 5S 3200 pack was pretty much validated as the pack for a 40 sized slab. However, Rumple had an ARF and had to sling his pack to the fuse like something out of "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre". Homey don't play dat. On the other hand, Rumple had the boss mill, the 1506/3D/6.7F Neu. Lance has a Kontronik Fun 500 27/5.2. Ought to be pretty comparable, but I'd be running the 1506/3D if'n it was mine.
Which brings up to the why. I'm doing this one for Lance as a test bed for an identical, unbuilt version I have. Whatever is screwed up on his, I'll change for mine. Like the motor
OK, on to the pics!...Continue Reading

Dremel the smallest ID lamination out to meet the second ID lamination to fit the F3A box -
Views: 327
The different steps in the mount match the different steps of the box, the F3A has a "snout" that's the same OD as the bearing boss on this P42 -
