As just reading some of the other posts I think they are expecting a couple of containers soon. So hopefully there will be some coming in on one of them. The Pandora is a awesome plane.

Hey Dan.
I certainly appreciate the offer. I know this is weird but I've been looking all over this thing trying to figure out how to send a pm. Can you please tell me where it's at. I'll send any information I have. Also when Motion gets the parts back in stock I'll replace yours or I can send you a money order to cover your expenses. I thank you very much. Its people like you willing to help another person in need that shows the hobbyist group are made of unselfish people who are willing to help one and another so that we can all enjoy this great activity. You are a great ambassador to the rc community.

Hey Dewey, just go to the top of the page on the right, where it says messages and click on that, that will open up a new page, on the left you see 'compose new' and type my name in. it should come up on the drop down menu.
Also, you'll see other things like 'notifications' which is really handy to see if anyone has responded to any of the threads you've posted on, I use it all the time. Check your 'in box' as well.
Hey, helping each other out is what its all about and I'm not worried about the money, get the dang thing in the air my friend, and promise me never to stand in front of an active plane, one with the battery plugged in. Your lucky you didn't get hurt, talk to Lon about that! If you want to check something out, put the horizontal stab behind you legs, or lately, I've been putting a chair in front of each wing.
Stay out of the danger zone, that's a whirling Attila the Hun and it has no problem chopping anything in its path.
BTW, cudos to Bryan as well, its all about helping each other out.

Hello Dewey and Gman,
Just some info on a quicker approach to PM someone, just click on the "username" of the person you want to PM from any visible post of that user(usename is in the box on the left side of the post) and it will bring up their "user profile " whereas you will see to the right of their profile pic two large buttons indicating 'Subscribe' and 'Private Message'. Click the Private message button and this method automatically addresses the message to the user without having to search for the user name.
Best regards,

[Grossman56]

Oh yeah, I forgot that one, thanks Charlie!

Hi Dewey
We are expecting a container in today 5/5 and those props will be in that container. please allow up to 2 days for all parts to be accounted for and put on the web. As usual put your email on the part to be notified. I will also say and of course is a modify but I use a 36004's admiral lipo. It gives this plane turbo charge and does not over amp the esc at all. I have been flying like this for 2 years not a single issue and on the same original prop on grass. Please not it will have bad left torque on take off so apply right rudder and advance throttle slower to compensate. Doing this the plane is dynamite do any normal aerobatic with ease.

good luck

Bradl, on this new shipment, are there by any chance any batteries expected on this one or the next one?

[Dewey H Lee]

Thank you so much Dan. Seems like magic that all of a sudden out of the clear a container comes in with my parts. The man must be looking after me. Already put in an order. I'm glade to see they have what you need also. When I got back in town I was inspired to see if you wanted me to send you mine from lronAss since lve not put her together yet. I appreciate everything though.

[Dewey H Lee]

Thank you for the offer Bryan. Glade to see at the time of need people will help. It something that just when I needed it a container showed up with my parts. Must be living right. The man is looking out for me. Thank you Again for the offer. If I can ever do for anyone all they have to do is ask.

[Dewey H Lee]

Ov10 thanks for the information. All I have is this phone so I do the best I can. Things up close are a challenge and especially formats. Thankhou so much for explaining how to pm. It's great people like you are willing to take time to help.

Hey Guys
Got Pandora together(tail dragger configuration). Only problem was during the whole thing I never thought about the propeller washer and nut. Most of the other planes there screwed on the prop shaft. When I pulled the fuselage out I didn't think that much about it figuring it would be in the parts bag. Nope nothing. I'm sure MOTION will take care of me but I have one question. The diagram shows a fixing circle,spacer and nut. I needed to know if the fixing circle was supposed to come with the propeller or by itself. Since that's missing as well as the nut and washer. Has anyone used an alternate prop with this plane since they are out of stock at MOTION.

I don't know if you got an answer on this but I am using Master Airscrew 3 blade props 11 x 6. I changed out the spinner too but I can't remember why? LOL! I think I had to because the MAS prop didn't fit the stock spinner so I used a Dubro spinner instead. Sorry, I'm getting old ;)

[Dewey H Lee]

Thank you FlyGirl. No I never did get any advice on an alternate until you posted. Do you order yours or get them from a local lhs. If you order could you kindly send me you source or part number for the spinner. Since MOTION has received a container I put in an order immediately for the stock parts. Thanks again for the information. It's good to see a post from you again. I'm glade your still with us.

[Dewey H Lee]

Hey Brad thanks for the heads up on the container and the mod on the plane. It was perfect timing. Dan and Bryan had offered to send me parts to get me up until MOTION resupplied but now it's not necessary. I'll definitely check Pandora out on a 3000 4s because I have a few laying around. Thanks again.

[Pauly]

If running a 4s 3000 on the Pandora I take it that there is no need in changing the ESC right? Also, how much flight time should one get per flight not hot dogging it?

[Dewey H Lee]

I don't know yet Pauly. I'm just going by what Brad put up. Havnt been able to put Pandora up yet due to a few unfortunate mistakes and some missing parts. I think Brad started that he was flying with 3600 4s on a stock configuration. I will double check back with him before I try it. He says it's a real hoot. By the way Pauly if your ever down around Fayetteville on a weekend let me know and we'll try to get together and fly since were not to far from each other here in NC. If your an AMA member I can get you in at our field. Happy Flights my friend.

[Pauly]

That sounds great Dewey. I am a AMA member Dewey. I'm a member at Kinston Aero Modelers and same goes for you. If you ever are around Kinston let me know as well. If I remember correctly I think Brad did say he was still stock. I have my Pandora on the high wing tail dragger configuration. I do go to some of the local fly-ins. We just had recently had one the other week.

[Flygirl]

Thank you FlyGirl. No I never did get any advice on an alternate until you posted. Do you order yours or get them from a local lhs.

Thanks Dewey! Yep still around. I'm retiring in a couple of weeks and have been training my replacement. I used to post a lot while at work (Shhhhhh! Don't tell! LOL!) and I can't do that with her right there.

If you have ordered the stock already go with that as I didn't notice any difference in performance between the two propellers/spinner but if you ever break one again and can't find stock here is what I used. I got them at Tower Hobby. As an aside, I ordered two and have never broken one since. Figures huh? LOL!

Just got a couple of flights on my Pandora yesterday and I can't even begin to tell how good it flies.
