The adapter looks like an easy solution are they sold by Motion? I had sent Callie an email about Lady be Good came back to this site and I see it posted.

[dkalwishky]

Yup, you can get it from Motion.

Thank you looks like I am on the waiting list but living in Western New York flying season doesn't start until at least May so I've got time to wait.

I have those adaptors but I went ahead and ordered two new 4000mah 4S's with Xt 60's Didn't want any bad juju. I've been chided for using two-way adaptors before.

What motion does not sell are the in-line XT-60 adaptors with the JST connector for Mr. RC Sound. They sell the Deans version of these but since the esc's come with XT-60's, anyone planning on adding sound will need these, You need one for the 4.1 board and if you'll be using the separate amplifier, you'll need another.

Buddyrc also has them.

I haven't used a deans plug battery in years! And since getting into fpv, I bought alot of jst pig tails to hook up my video transmitters. Really improved my soldering game. But for folks that don't want to mess with soldering. Having those adapters are a good way to go.

For those wanting to use a 2" nose wheel here's a comparison between the stock A-10 type wheel and a 2.25" wheel from a LX B-25, as you can see the smaller wheel leaves a gap between it and the fuselage and would require shortening the strut which really isn't a good option as it would lower the plane even more. I think they designed it with a good mixture of scale appearance and practical usage in mind.

Here's a short video on the turret and interior details.

[rifleman_btx]

I take the cameras aren't being transmitted to the ground. You have an on board dvr?

[TiredIronGRB]

They transmit to ground and are recorded on goggles...you can also watch on the big screen in the hangar.

I've considered lights as well, but all the photos I'm coming across I can't be sure if or where the were lights on the plane. Can anyone shed light on this? :Smug:

[Grossman56]

Are you sure?

Yep, at least that's what Aros and James told me.

I 2nd the request on the where did the turret gunner come from? Really nice job, TiredIron!

Check your pm.

[TiredIronGRB]

Where did you get your turret Gunner?

It's a 21st Century 1/18 Scale P-51 Pilot figure, hard to find nowadays and expensive when you do find them.

It's just a cheap FPV receiver with RCA video out.

[Grossman56]

Got it Ryan, and it's fixed and in Todd's hands, thanks!
