Cap Size for SSS (to kinda, sorta keep on topic)Quote:
AJ P.S. Did I screw up somewhere and say a cap was a battery? I gotta get some pillow time. <yawn>. It must be about 11am there. Have a stack of pancakes. |

Maiden Flight!
Woo! Got my SSS in the air this afternoon and what a sweet flyer it is! Running mine on 4S with a Phoenix 60 ESC and an APC 8x6 prop (stock motor and servos) weighing in at 5lbs AUW, it is impressive! I replaced every single linkage with 2-56 threaded rods and I cut off all the control surfaces and rehinged them with packing tape. Aside from the power mod and the control surface mods I didn't really do much else to the SSS, just a custom paint scheme.
I got some sweet landing pics too, I will upload them shortly. Eric |

I am loving that paint scheme. That must be some real powdery snow.

Hey Eric,
I have to STRONGLY Recommend reinforcing your Wing area... My setup was almost exactly like yours and it tore in flight... Chris |

It feels like thick air when you push your arm through it, and skiing through it is a dream... I miss the snow... I want my SSS to enjoy fluffy landings too Chris |

Oh the snow is quite real. There was a snow storm this weekend and it was completely untouched before I invaded it with my SSS. Eric |

Haha, yeah, I was rather amazed how well it turned out. It looked alright "on paper" but I wasn't sure until it took to the skies... then I was stunned. It stood out so well, there was no way I was going to get disoriented!

Any photos of the reinforcement? I'm building mine (kit) and have been putting small strips of CF flats embedded in the foam where (I think) the weak points are. I may end up glassing the area once I get the fuse halves together.
