    Outrunners are ok providing you do the wd40 trick after a run.
    In rc subs they use outrunners underwater !

    ok, it sure looks a winner. !
    Let me know if it floats, then I may get excited.

    Re rain on Tx
    Use to run nitro boats 'in the good old days' with plastic bag over the Tx so rain wouldnt upset the electrickery inside.
    Poke a hole through the bag with something small and sharp ( careful now ) and extend the antennery thing upwards.

    I like the canard design where the little wings are in front.
    Or did you mount the motor wrong ? Damn, I knew I should have read the instructios
    3rd pic.. is the ruddery thing meant to have a lean .. does that help in corners ? That is a little trick we use in Tasmania. To square things up we eye them up against the electricity poles. I guess they forgot to take the level to work the day they put them in the ground

    ps.. rain squalls and wind 50mph+ here atm.. no fun for anything outdoors.

    Doc I have spoken to you about my Bixler on the phone recently. Just so you know what it looks like I have done a few pics for you.
    Doc meet the Bixler...







    I flew it for the first time this morning. Easy to control and a real floater with the motor off. A pity there was drizzling rain as I had 3 batteries to use but not wanting to lose another plane I put it back in the car after a 10 minute flight. It came back dry inside but my transmitter had a few drops on it so it was better to run home and put my Turnigy Towel to good use. With a 1400 mm wingspan it fits in the back of the Falcon with the wings attached. All you have to do at the field it connect the battery and switch the transmitter on and Bobs your Aunty. I used a 1500 mAh 3s lipo but will order some 2200 mAh ones for longer flights if needed.

    Your fish is done.
    Cut the F5.5 to fit 8AWG cable entry.
    The 2 pair power cables are joined and extended to your 8mm with a short 6AWG feed.

He is rather tight lipped about his operation and will probably have his people talk to your people about that prop. Now that he is dealing with us Aussies all hell is about to break loose. A few good reports from us and he his secretive prop business will be secret no more. Chuck will have enough money to come to Oz for a holiday and play in the pond with us after we start our advertising campaign. No matter how you say it "under the bed with Chuck or in the closet with Douggie" just sounds wrong doesn't it?
