Found these on VP-Racing when ordering 1/8 scale buggy parts. These are excellent little servos for a couple new foaming I'm building.

The first thing I noticed with the new Hitec servo is that the stop blocks are offset. You can program the servo for normal aileron travel, But still have plenty of travel for flaps. Pretty cool little servo. going right into a CX-5.

I can imagine the guy that covered this thing wore plaid socks too, Cream and brown really. Every Hobbie I've seen fly, Flies like a manhole cover. As you can see I have three projects ahead of this, Two Evolution Evo's and a Sonoran Art 1.5. It will be an ultimate test to my building skills.

Stole the ideal from Quique's Flex Innovations Mamba. 600Kv quad motor from Banggood. For 20 bucks don't let the price fool you these motors are very powerful and efficient. 12X4 Falcon woodie on 6s 1000 mAh 20 amps with 500 watts. Makes for a very smooth and linear throtle and plenty of power to pull out of hovers and flat spins. Thank you Ken from Motofly that turned me on to these motors.

I've been wasting my time with a 3=D printed wing lately. Nothing against the designer, Just not my cup of tea.
Than I go to the local hobby shop and low'n behold an Airtronics Jetfire .40 kit...Score...
And NX radios are in stock...Bummer there goes five bones.

None of my crazy projects could even be imagined without Cenco Grinding in Allentown Pa. Once again, Thanks guys. Ordered these little beauties from Banggood, The manufacturer claims they can be used for quads. I'd like to see a 150 sized quad with eight motors. I have different plans though, A 3mm 3 and half inch long drill blank for a new motor shaft. This is to get the tractor prop away from the pusher prop. I've learned alot from the mini stick. This system will going into a West Michigan Liberty Bibe. Should be a fun 3-D plane.

Bought 1.5 mm JST connectors from Digi-Key for a Spektrum 6310 receivers. My problem isn't cripping the socket to the wire, It's inserting the socket into the housing. Seems as though I keep smashing the socket when I try to push it into the housing.

My question is can someone please offer some advise to me.

Thanks Doug
