Yeah well, "he'll eat anything". You're crackin' me up, Hugh. BTW, liked your pics from your weekend flying. The Pilot Body is a Max Grueter 3DP Design I bought on CDTrader. I have his RAF, US Navy, and Jet Pilot STL Files and I just bought his B-17 Pilot head because the dude's wearin' a crush cap and sunglasses. Pretty cool. All these take the half-life of Chernobyl's cleanup date to print, but allow for a custom pilot. It's one of the reasons I bought a 3DP printer in the first place. The pilot choices in this hobby have always been just fair to midland, and felt like a compromise to me after finishing a great air-frame. The Jet Pilot body is circa Korea/Vietnam as the parachute is part of the build, but I 'clipped' it in Slic3r and modded the body a bit to look more modern. The Pilot's head is the OEM Chinese Fellow that I trimmed and narrowed with added bits to 'look' more modern. Best, Steve2 PhotosHugh "Wildman" Wiedman

A good friend brought his over today so I could help him with some small maintenance items. While we were doing the surgery, we were going to have the landing gear bypass the board as to eliminate the delay, but found that the landing gear light WILL NOT operate if there are no servos plugged into the Landing Gear input slots on the MFCB... very odd, and a little unfortunate. Has anyone else noticed this?
