There are two spots on one side and one on the other. The nose gear will already be plugged in. Same with the rudder, and nosewheel steering. Rudder will need to be plugged in.

That's funny. Don't feel bad. I did the exact same thing. Was scratching my head, (cussing at Pilot Ryan- LOL ) until I finally located the missing connection on the board.Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

April,
Nice photo's. I'm sure that must have taken you a whole 1 hour to build and ready for maiden. LOL
I maidened mine today with some snarly wind conditions. 12-18 variable. Flew great ! Not even a click of trim needed . Using an A3L stabilizer. Hope to have some video later.
The second flight was a bit more tenuous. At the suggestion of one of my flying buddies, He had flown for AA earlier in the day and told me at 3000 ft. the wind was coming out of the South yet they still had him set for a North approach. The low level winds were running opposite. So I upped the gain on the gyro slightly to compensate more for the wind conditions. As I got her up to speed and about 150' agl, she started the classic gyro vibration.Too much gain. So I slowed her down on the downwind leg for a short final to bring her in and adjust. Wind shifted slightly and with a low throttle setting she almost completely lost elevator authority in the base to final turn. Like a downwind stall. Got her level with full back pressure at the last second and brought her down just short of the runway on the apron. Kind of a hard landing but not too bad. She didn't bounce. No damage. She's a keeper ! Whew !
Ran with both a RT 5800 35C and an Admiral 5000 50C. Kind of liking the lighter weight Admiral better for this plane. Both got about 4 min including taxi time.
