I decided to pull the trigger on this new beast from Aviation Designs. I was kinda on the fence about the looks until I saw it fly and love the looks in flight. The high speed performance is also insane. I think Peter said he tipped 500km/h with the Behotec 220 and the flight logs I saw with his airspeed telemetry was 486km/h in the heat at Wingham this past weekend.
I have the red/CF scheme coming!!... should arrive tomorrow.
Landing gear will be Behotec Electric gear with the new highspeed wheels.
Power will be a Behotec 220 with Projet Telemetry. Also using the Intarco UAT which is my favorite by a long shot.
Servos will be Futaba BLS172's all around. Twin Futaba 7008 Rx's into a Powerbox Expander and Powerbox iGyro 3e....
Hey guys... I've been lurking a while and wanted to kick posting off with a sweet project. This build will be documenting the recovering/rebuilding of a 100cc H9 Beast. The guy that owns the plane is a friend of mine and wanted to change this thing up and give it a new look.
After some conversation/permission from Jacob Hollander (owner of the full scale model 12 "Thor"), we've decided to recover the plane in the new "THOR" scheme.
I've already begun stripping to plane down and plan to start covering in the next 2 weeks. This build has an agreed deadline of March 15th so it will be completed on time
I hope you enjoy the rebuild/recover!

This is a 100% true story and the facts can be checked at the checkout counter of your local grocery market.
A while back a famous RC jet pilot was speaking with Alan ? the designer of the Boomerang Sprint jet. Alan was asked.. What was the inspiration for the paint scheme on the Sprint jet? Alan replied it was based on his bedroom in the 60's when and where he lost his virginity. He wanted to gaze upon that very special moment in his life when he met his girlfriend who they would later fall madly in love together..... and then break up with, only to meet 4 more girlfreinds, till he finally met his wife in 1988.
Quote.."everytime I see a Sprint jet, I think back to that bedroom and its funky wall paintings and that funky girl I...
Picked this up. Some work has been done to it by previous owner but basically brand new.
Plan is to put a Behotec 220 in it, Futaba BLS172 servos where possible, full Jeti telem and a Cortex Gyro.
Debating repainting the blue later to get rid of the stars. Will see. Really like the airbrushing in the orange!!
I know there has been a couple build threads already for the AD Scorpion, but I thought I might throw my hat into the ring on this one!
I got this plane a few months ago and have been slooowly doing a build in my odd spare hours.
First thing.....this is a nice kit! Well built and reasonably light. I have a couple friends with standard size Scorpions, and another with a Super Scorpion. All of them were happy with their planes, so I thought I might get one too!
I first started to assemble the horns and servos into the wing panels. The horns on this plane are quite deep and you have to make sure you don't cut too far into the bottom of the aileron or flap and cut through to the top of the panel! I measured the thickness at each area...
While at Best In The West out in California in early October, I picked up a new T-One jet that I had ordered back in August. It managed to survive being in the back of my pickup for some 5,000 km. Definitely well packaged.
Yesterday I finally had a chance to unbox it and have a good look at what I got. And I got a beauty. The build quality on this jet is outstanding. And the hardware package appears to have good quality stuff as well.
Since my flying season is pretty much over, I'll be taking my time and building this one carefully. I'll post progress occasionally.

Hi:)
My problem is with a Aeroworks ProX 260 40-60 size. The servos are in the wing and the servo horn is right against the wing. The servo shaft does not protrude far enough outside the wing. I looked far and wide for servo horns that would protrude more than is the case now.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)
Wanted to share a cheap alternative here. Canadian tire had these "Certified" air compressors on for $17 bucks. They are rated for 150PSI.
Chopped the cord and hooked up a 3 cell lipo I had laying around. Presto!
Used it Ottawa Valley Jets and it works great.
