There is one other mod I did to mine and that was to the Horizontal Stabs (Elevators) I used packing tape under each one to give it stiffness, I noticed some flex going on a few times but add the tape and flex is gone!.. simple and cheap and done..

I used a site called Treatstock.com (recommended on "another" forum), then picked a printer based mainly on the number of reviews and distance - Humanisticnick's Printing Service in Pittsburg.
Plus when I contacted them they answered my questions right away.
For 1 cockpit (in gray), 2 bomb sights and 8 guns (2 sets of 4 in black) it cost $12.45 shipped which seemed reasonable. They are making them in PLA.
They said the sight has details that may not come out great but I figure it's behind the nose glazing anyway.
Not quite sure how long it will take but it showed a printing time of 28 hours :eyeswide
I'll post pics when they arrive.
Oh, and I'll see what I can do about the pony...

Nodirt...Thanks for the info. Much less $ than i thought. Im sure you've read the posts about what to look for before and during assembly. Watch the motion build video. Check the glue on everything. I shimmed and glued my wing mounts with some 1/8 ply to keep them below the wing saddle surface, i left one weight in tail as my heavy CHL 4000 40c wouldnt cg(60mm) without it. Mine is flying very well with the elevator at 2mm up as my neutral. No stab mod.
Very excited about the pony...I'm calling him Mr wyld stallyon.Still flying P.15, avanti(#2), mig 21, yak 130 70mm(#2), f35, f9f panther, a10 64mm, F8 crusader/ PA ultimate amr /HK skipper, durafly dh vampire, p 51,spit mk24, corsair, flybeam/ BH f86 50mm, deltawing 50mm/ HH su 26 mm,umx pitts,umx sbach, blade nano cp s,blade 450x, inductrix 200, inductrix pro, umx yak 54,umx f27 fpv/ electrifly 4s L39/ flyzone beaver/ volantix asw 28, /dynam B26

I do, however, have a pretty decent fuselage if any one is interested in one, I'll send it for postage and a very friendly price. Just post to me of any interest. WBBJust let me fly so I may be free

Originally posted by xviper View PostThere isn't really much of anything to see. I just found a set of old retracts that were the same size and swapped the struts in. These other retracts don't need to "wake up" as the Dynam ones do and they aren't affected by temperature. I'll post about how they work when I get a chance to fly the thing. Getting at the wiring in the wing required removing it and doing some "fishing".
On my last flight, the wind came up during the flight and was tossing the plane all over the place. On landing, gusts up to 25 mph - talk about "wing rock"! :Scared: No gyro, but with full flaps and some power, it touched down gentle as a feather and I got her home in one piece. A couple guys at the field commented on how great this plane looks.

Mine arrived! From a quick look it appears ok for the most part. Thanks to Motion's extra packing. The spar came loose and dented the vertical stabilizer a bit. I may get another.
No weights in the tail and the wing hatch is misaligned as predicted.
Have to wait on the printed parts and there's a couple others in the front of the line so it may be a bit till I mess with it.
AND I haven't decided on a livery yet :Confused:

As Mad Baron says test your electronics. I learned a lesson on a fw p38 i delayed building. On my marauder i only cycled the gear maybe three times before assy. My stbd main stuck half way up on my second flight. Motion had a replacement to me 2 days later( oh motion how i love thee..) Only a ten dollar part but after dealing with boat and motor manufacturers for 34 yrs, if bad parts or processes start costing them warranty money shhtuff changes.Still flying P.15, avanti(#2), mig 21, yak 130 70mm(#2), f35, f9f panther, a10 64mm, F8 crusader/ PA ultimate amr /HK skipper, durafly dh vampire, p 51,spit mk24, corsair, flybeam/ BH f86 50mm, deltawing 50mm/ HH su 26 mm,umx pitts,umx sbach, blade nano cp s,blade 450x, inductrix 200, inductrix pro, umx yak 54,umx f27 fpv/ electrifly 4s L39/ flyzone beaver/ volantix asw 28, /dynam B26
