She doesn't seem to have much objection to doing one offs. She took the F-4 scheme I requested, and posted it for sale on her site. That Canadian C-130 is sharp! I bet she would do the same with that one. Send her a email and ask, very nice person!

I got the bird yesterday. Put it all together and programmed my DX9 and everything worked perfectly. I turned it on with the Throttle cut engaged and all the servos went to max deflection and are trying to go even farther. Ailerons, elevator, and rudder are at max deflection and the servos are screaming for more. The flaps are fine. What is going on? I tried it with the throttle cut off and they are all still at max deflection. HELP.

Mine came this morning. Grey scheme. Callie Graphics decals in the mail (Canuck military theme).
With all this talk of late about having to hide this plane and that plane from the wife, I thought I'd relate my story .....................
Wife: Oh, look. A FedEx truck is pulling up to our front door.
Me: OK, I'm on my way.
After I take the big box to the hobby room and unpacking everything to check for damage ...............................
Wife: Is that another plane?
Me: Yup!
Wife: Oh, good!
This was the 3rd big box of planes that showed up in the last month.
Of course, this was right after I got the laundry going and was about to do the vacuuming. I guess I'm not really the boss in our household!? I can live with it.
;)
Will soon see what everyone is posting about - the good and the bad.

Got it all done. Just waiting for Callie's decals. It all went together very well. Nothing serious to remark about. Fit and finish is quite good. Everything tested out good, nothing sticky or binding (like the V1 flaps). Programming flaps was fairly easy. Used an 8-ch. RX. Got a HobbyEagle A3-L in there in case it's a "roller coaster". Retracts are a marvel to see in action. 3 out of 4 props needed a little tape to balance, not too bad at all. Even got the cargo door to open and close real slow, not that I plan to drop anything out of it. It's just cute. Using a 2200mah, 4s Turnigy Graphene, it's a little nose heavy, but I'm good with that. Will see if it flies OK like that. If not, I can put in a lighter battery or add a little lead to the tail.

Can you take some pictures of the new v2 flaps and how they work? I would like to see how different from my v1.
Thanks!
