Congrats Aros! Thumbs up on the repaint.

Thanks bud! Although, I must confess, the highly reflective nature of the paint does seem to lend itself to more gatoring susceptibility. I've only had her out in the direct Sun a few times, and never for all that long, and only maybe mid 50 degrees for the most part. Admittedly, it's nothing major, but those cells are becoming a tiny bit more pronounced than I would like. Nothing much I can do about it, just kind of live with it, knowing it's the nature of the EPO beast. You don't even notice unless you are inches away.

Something for some to consider if wanting to go with a highly reflective aluminum/silver finish.

Dan,
What radio did you end up with? I have always used Futaba but looking at the Spectrum 8e. Most of our members are using this now and I like a lot of the features. Still using my 7c Futaba after 14 yr and never a problem.
Best Regards, Rex

I bought a Spectrum NX 8+ which has 20 channels, great little radio and more channels than I'll ever use!
In the manual, page 54, top left is the atennae reference.

Anyone else having an issue posting pictures?

it doesn’t give me the option to resize the picture anymore and it’s telling me it’s over max

G8,

Over sized is a common thing.

You could resize in MS Paint or whatever post processing photo app you might have.

If you pic is over-sized you'll not get a size option, I don't believe.

Best, LB

Hmm, nothing different on my end from earlier posts, when I went to post before it always gave me the option for size but it no longer does

Took her out for her second sortie. This time I tried the grass field adjacent to the airport runway. Flew fantastic. Now that she's trimmed, just no bad habits to speak of. Flies great, lands great, looks great...What's not to love?

After the flight, Callie's decals were waiting for me in my mailbox so I made no short order of slappin' them on. I think she turned out great! I'm very pleased overall. Now that the trimming and jitters are out of the way, now I can really let loose with her moving forward. Apologize for the low quality video. My fiancé was filming on her phone which doesn't have the best video quality.

finally got one to load I don’t know what the issue was

I added invasion, stripes to the top of the wing and yellow to the tail. I was having some issues with it silhouetting at a distance in a high wing over. This helped tremendously and although I know it’s not correct to scale for Frenesi, I like it!
