My Lt40 is awaiting a calm day to test fly after its major re-build. Hoping next week

Well I finally picked up my charger and power supply from the shipping depot in ogdensburg ny tonight....i picked a Turnigy 300w reaktor DC charger and a 500w power supply. Also had bought a 5s 8000mAh Flightmax lipo pack.


Just curious....the pack had some 4mm bullet connector pre-soldered to the charge leads. However it was male on one and female on the other. Is that the standard setup?

I need to solder the connectors to my 2 Revo packs and wondering if this was the norm. I had planned to do battery all male and ESC female (or the opposite)

Thanks

Any pics for us Daryll?

Well the weekend didn't quite go as planned..only managed to get the left side aileron covered.
I have some time tomorrow so will hopefully get the base coat of the wing done.

Didnt get to fly it yet...but I shall load some before/after photos of the plane showing its rise from the ashes (literally moments before the previous owner was going to burn it in the fire pit)

Made some progress tonight...I was able to get the underside of the left wing covered. It sealed at the tip, root, leading and trailing edges.

I will cover the other 3 surfaces and then start to shrink it tight. Once done, I will add the details in.

My fuse is almost ready for covering..need to ensure that area where the stab attaches is squa and level

Here are a couple pics of the wing..one from each end...

And from the root...

A .40 size glow motor is just big enough to get into trouble if you are in a wind prone area. When I was starting a sudden wind came up tossed the plane around, I throttled back and held the plane stationary and the instructor asked what I was doing. I said " Think time, you take it". and he flew it home like a sail boat could not come directly home. With a good .46 he could have come straight in. As the next flight it had a .46 and even I as a novice could notice I was in control.

I have a .46 equivalent electric going into mine....a turnigy g46 running on 5s.
