    Can someone school me in the use of the single connection for PPM and RSSI via Dragonlink v2(just received it and I'm stoked!) and my new Rvosd 5.1? Get the concept but are there special connectors that need to be used? If so, where's do I get them?

    Is it necessary to laminate the flaps? I've been thinking about cutting them off, laminating and then using dubro 3m hinge tape.

    Thoughts?

    A strip of fiber tape on the bottom and top of each elevon would be fine. You can cut them off and laminate them if you want but I have always just put a strip on top and bottom and its never failed me. This is 90000000000 swifts later.

    Thanks for the info airbag it. I ended up using packing tape and it's nice and stiff.

    I'm just about to install my pan servo. It looks like yours is installed a few inches back. i want to make sure that mine is completely enclosed in the blunt section so that I can mount my battery underneath and be able to move it fore and aft for cg purposes.

    How far back did you mount the pan servo? Also, how deep did you cut the esc and battery sensors bays on the bottom?

    airbagit13 - just saw your old post where you installed a GForce E400 Outrunner into the blunt nose Swift 2.


    I know we have been talking about motors recently but wondered how that motor is going?

    Did you get a chance to measure how far back your pan servo is mounted? It loks like it's about 2 inches.

    Hi was able to find similar airfoil and cut the blunt section. Has anybody a idea what would be the CG from LE with 7" blunt.
