Last week I broke out the ASB from its shipping crate. This is not a build in the typical sense. This is a true ARF. I was able to prescribe the motor and radio equipment I planned to use. The airframe came fully prepped for what I prescribed. They even included all the necessary hardware plus some really nice preconfigured pushrods with ball bearing connectors. Even the landing gear was fully rigged with wheels and pants in place ready to mount to the fuse. I’m making slow progress but everything fits and goes together like it should.
Here’s a small sample of what’s been done to date.
Hacker C54 installation
D3 controller mounted in direct airflow
