      Fantastic! Thanks so much for watching. It's amazing the life these airliners have taken on their own.

        J, You nailed it. I hope that this summer you can post a picture (or more) of a bunch of these models in differing liveries at one of the events MotionRC attends. What a sight that will be. Best, LB

            But most receivers use this setup Channel 1 - Throttle, 2 - aileron, 3- elevator, 4- rudder, 5- gear, 6- flaps, then some like Futaba have channel 1- aileron, 2- elevator, 3- throttle rest the same as aforementioned.

            Welcome to the squawk and show us some pics so we can get you sorted.

                    • Hi all- just joined up the other day. Been out of the hobby for a handful of years and excited to get back to it. Quick question...I looked around and apologize if I missed it, but can anyone share their set up with a camera on this thing? I did some searching for cameras and found the Mobius and RunCam that looked good but I’m not sure the easiest way to mount it and where.

                        I've been using the runcam 2 now for our Motion videos and such and it still is a great little package. Whenever I mount it I am always using double-sided velcro and haven't lost one. As for mounting on an aircraft, CG is of course important. On the airliner, mounting on the fuselage toward the tail might require you to move the battery forward a bit so always CG before a flight. Mounting on the wing, I usually put it close to the fuselage on the CG line. But if you want to mount it say on a wingtip looking back, you will have to put a counterweight on the opposite wingtip (I've used 2 runcams on opposite wingtips to great effect before.)

                        But yeah the runcam 2 with some double-sided tape hasn't failed me yet. Just mount the camera and tape in a warm place the night before you fly, if you try to mount the velcro tape on a colder day minutes before you fly, it may not adhere properly.

                        Welcome to hobbysquawk and happy flying!

                              That what I meant by cold weather. I slapped that one on 5 seconds before we flew. Wasn;t thinking
