Cool. And because I have the hobby eagle A3 super 3 gyro. Am I right in saying that if I use the pass through option for out4 and out5 I can use those channels to plug in my gear and flaps?

Also how do you determine what receiver type to tell the gyro you are using. For example I am using a Futaba R7008SB but not using the sbus functionality just yet. So do I tell the gyro I'm just using a standard receiver. Or a ppm receiver. Or despite not using the sbus do I still tell it I'm using a Futaba Sbus/Sbus receiver?

T-CAT & Aros, Thanks Guys. It is fun, though slow going sometimes. Hoping it will all come together in the end. I am a bit worried about overall weight, but I am considering the power system in the High Performance BA version or an upgrade combo suggested by Hugh Wiedman in an earlier post.

AceMigKiller , I thank you, Sir. We were in the Fairplay CO area in early June and loved it, but at 10.6K feet EDF would be difficult, if not impossible. Tamms loved the area, I just rolled my eyes since all I could think about was finding a new hobby like model RR or knitting. Long winters there. Got a little paint on the fuselage today.

Hello Everyone
Having just purchased one of these beasties, I thought I'd join up in order to get the benefit of your wisdom and experience helping with a problem.
The model was categorised as "Open Box" because the wing mounting pegs/slots were misaligned. Entry 2185 on page 110 of this forum introduced the problem but I can find no answer, suspecting it was returned for replacement. Could it even be the same plane? My own photos are attached.
After careful measurement it is clear to me that the fixing pegs have been transposed. That is, the left one has been glued into the right hand side and the right one has been glued into the left hand side.
Does anyone have any suggestions how best to remove these plastic parts? They seem well and truly immovable at the moment. Ironic of course that the elevator mounting plate lifts very easily (as per product update). I wondered about dripping denatured alcohol round the edges to soften/loosen the glue or even about the judicious application of local heat.
My aim would be to remove the pegs with minimal (or preferably, no) damage to the part, because they may have to be swapped over to the other side. But perhaps the parts are available in one of the accessory spare parts packs? I have asked MRCEU.
If I know I can obtain new (spare) parts, my plan of attack would be to carefully and slowly remove the parts by destroying them by cutting, drilling and grinding them out. Actually, I would not start this until the new parts were in my possession. and to this end, could I ask whether anyone has the parts on a no longer needed (crashed) donor aircraft and are prepared to let them go? Think of it as going to a good home instead of laying unused in the back of a workshop. It would be so much easier to preserve them if attacked from the rear (ouch!)
I look forward to your comments and suggestions. As you are the experts, I'd be grateful for your input.3 Photos
