9 Ch Radio

I love the days where I come home and find a box sitting at my front door. Today was my new 9ch radio. Looks good (not that I know what to look for). Much more complicated that I was really going for. It's gonna take me a while to figure out how to set up all the switches and knobs...

New Controller

With the sluggish response and frequent connection problems, not to mention "the crash," I've decided to move away from the C6C. It seems like a great product and it may see action elsewhere in my R2, but probably in my  future MSE.

I've chosen a 9-ch radio. Not very expensive and other R2 Builders have used the same type. I'm hoping to see much better range and finite control with this upgrade. Can't wait to get it in and hook R2 back up!

Skinny Skin Skin

I'm kinda upset that I wasn't able to get aluminum skins for R2... maybe the next one (don't tell my wife) will get them.

I've been working on putting the styrene skins on. I was really nervous about cutting the rear skins. (still not sure if I screwed it up or not) Front seem to be holding well, rears... not so well...

I've also got my legs going... Just need to work on those pesky booster covers...

Feels like it's all coming together.

Paint!

The weather has been so hot and humid over the past few week I haven't been able to get anything done outside.

Today was a break in that weather. I got outside for a few minutes and was able to spray!

I let it all sit overnight, then I just couldn't help myself...

Will glue the panels down soon! This is all coming together!
