Phara-CON

Yes I'm on a Pink Floyd kick! but what else can I do while I wait for the electronics to show up for my cargo plane?! I have picked a color scheme for it and I will be using spray paint this time around so it should look pretty snappy.

Behold the Gooney Twin! Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Ok, back from the northern reaches of Iceland! I have some around the house chores but I think I maybe wanting another LAN Party shortly. So what do you people want? If you want a LAN Party post in comments, but beware my garage does not have A/C so more then likely it will be from 7pm to 3am LAN.

Had a good weekend, got Eric's plane back in the air, flew my BD5 for the first time and got one room in my house painted. Next weekend looks to be more of the same!

I'm at the Powersgaming LAN Party and kicking ass! We beat the TF2 tourney and we had to play a man down, but the cool part is that means more prize money for me!

More BD-5 Build pictures. Got the wings and ailerons mounted and associated linkage done. Today I will work on the engine and final testing of all electronics. Then all I have to do is close the fuselage figure out how I'm going to do the landing gear and paint! We might have a maiden flight this Friday before Powersgaming LAN!

Here is the top, you can see the receiver on the nose and two servos if you look close. I might have to go get a couple of servo extension to move the RX up to the nose for balance. But I will find out once I get the engine mounted.

Here is the bottom of the plane. You can clearly see the aileron servo and linkage, I love those screw on linkage things, makes aligning them a breeze.
