Pat you are very welcome, it is a awesome color scheme. I just got the tail put on Richy's.

By far my favorite BVM scheme period!!

I had an original Bandit with that same "Fly Navy" scheme that I sold to Dan Avilla. Now he has it on an Electra so obviously I will need to get one at some point

Agreed. That IS the best bvm scheme to date. Glad to see they are putting it on multiple airframes.

I looked at the E-Blue Retracts and no were is there any info about the power supply reqiured to operate the ELectra Retracts.

2cell lipo. A123 ?????


Any one have a set of the 1495.00 Golden E-Blues.

We power them with a 2700mah 2 cell Thunder Power rx pack.
The pack has dual leads. One lead is 16ga wire that runs to the regulator. One lead is 22ga servo connector that runs to the programming box.The E Blues are powered directly from the rx pack. The gear door servos (mc35's) are powered through the rx.

Beat me to it..Here are some pics..Not the greatest, but you get the idea..I put the lipo in the nose to get the CG right..You need small hands to get to it...

Oh by the way n411x, Thats is a magazine picture background with the mountains..Im relaxed just looking at it...

does anyone have the duro struts installed on their electra? right now i have the stick struts and looking into going to the duro struts with the v lite wheels. I have the mechanical gear..would that be an issue with the new struts?

I installed the duro struts on my electra with mechanical gear. The struts i bought were slightly longer and then i shortened them. i think the nose gear was a drop in fit.

Thanks for the info bob, I look forward to installing them. Did you ever that starfire up?

Llfe has been busy.

Struts are the only way to roll!

They look great on your electra. Did you trim the nose strut? Or is it installed as is? Gives the electra more of a bandit look.

These are the Fury struts on the Air Blue gear, with brakes and V-Lite wheels. You will need to cut 3/8" off the mains and the nose strut fits as-is. If you go this route, cut the nose door opening 1/8" longer (in the front) than marked to leave room for the fact the nose gear is anged 5 degrees forward. It fits using the standard cut out but the nose strut does press against the hinge, a 1/8" larger opening (length) would be perfect... ;-)

Appreciate the info. I will be putting in the duro struts in the next couple of weeks.
