I finally had time to sit down and work on this bird. The air frame went together extremely well, next will be getting the servos ready to be installed.

Thank you. Yeah I liked that canopy better than the one it came with. Even though it looked like the postman tried to kick a field goal with it, there was just a little crack in the side after I popped the dent out of it.

Thanks! That's what I like about the bigger birds....plenty of room to run the wires inside of the frame. Yes I have a few flights on it, but with daylight savings time and work...by the time I get home it's too dark. :x I see quite a few sick days in the very near future! :D
