I'm putting my new airframe together this weekend. I hope to have the awesome thrust mod from Joe working as well. I'll definitely update with pics and video. Where can I get those rotating beacons?!

Sweet, thanks. Do you happen to have a link? What an awesome final touch.

#17972 is getting ready for her maiden. Thanks to Callie of Callie Graphics as usual for the decals. Joe I'm having my builder buddy take a look at the afterburner setup to help me hook it all up properly. Hopefully I will have it ready to go by this weekend.

Well crud. I just can't get these thrust tubes to work. I tape them together then they come apart. Plus figuring out how to get the circumference to but up against the EDF with the wires sticking out of the motors...I wish I had good build/engineering/mechanical skills. So I won't be adding them unfortunately. I know I will be sacrificing some MPHs.
Joe, I need to figure out how to re-soder those mini 2-prong connectors so they will work with my setup (two E-flite 60amp ESCs with their 3-prong connectors going to the receiver). I've installed the afterburners and have the wires running to the mid section so I can connect them at a later time once I can figure it out. I'm frustrated that I don't have the knowledge and skill to get these two awesome mods to work. |

Thanks Joe. What is basic electrical stuff for most flies right over my head.
So here's what so close but so far away looks like... |

Thanks guys...This kit is from NP. Painted over the stock trim and used Callie Graphics to make her the 972 livery. I simply spray painted the cones (Not sure why they come red. Makes it look like a toy, IMO). Joe 1320 makes these absolutely badass afterburners which emulate the actual color range of a real afterburner and they are BRIGHT!!

Does anyone know what this bird's CG sweet spot is? I know the factory recommended 78mm is too nose heavy. The afterburner kit I have installed has made it tail heavy (I'm in the 4.38in./111mm range right now, right in the middle of the main wheel housing area) so I need to know what the best CG is before I hand toss. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Holy CRAP these afterburners are AWESOME!!!!
Joe, they work to perfection. I couldn't be happier! Now to figure out that thrust tube mod (69mm fans) to finish her off. I have the Jetapult I am going to use for her (I have a test airframe to try it out first). My neighbor was blown away tonight! Here's a video: http://www.toddbreda.com/afterburner.mpg |
