patrick. you will find an "Albums" tab at the top. You have to create an album of your pics - then you can add them to your post. G. -

very impressive! I love your finish. I used the CG as per the plan and it worked out fine. -

OOps - i see in your previous post that you are using 120A ESCs. Sorry for the confusion. But, easier hookup with the "Y" harness -

Peter - the usual way to achieve multiple hookup is to use a "y" harness easily available from H King and many sources for less than $10. I will point out that my motors each draw close to 100A at full power on 10s so you might want to rethink your Turnigy 60. I am using Castle 120HV. -

doing a fine job. Did you mention what you are using for power. I am running 10s on each side and i found that i needed to put the 6s packs fully aft and the 4 s packs fwd to balance. Mine turned out a bit nose heavy. That's with the receiver and one 6 cell rcvr battery aft and one 6 cell receiver battery and the gyro fwd. I think i've got about 40 ft of wiring in mine! -

I too had to do it like Craig said - in pieces. The other way just wouldn't work for me. That done - i kept looking at those flat "air dams" next to the fans and, well you know the rest. Probably uneeded. -

Looking good. I became worried that the flat bulkhead next to the fan intake would reduce efficiency and power so decided to fair in the inlets to the fan. Seemed like a good idea and my thrust measurements would agree -

Looking good! Instead of painting my nozzles , i used a silver sharpie pen to color them. Gives a kind of metalic, steel finish. -

Peter - you will be so glad you made it this way. Also helps immeasurably with routing the wiring. I believe i have about 35 ft of cabling in this model. -
