Ya guys. Really excited about this. I thought the red would be brighter but was pleasantly surprised how nice and dark it is.
I'm a twitching mess tonight as I work on other stuff to make room

Well... looks like this Diamond will be my main focus for the next couple of weeks (hopefully less.. looks like a straight forward build).
First step was to Hysol in all the control horns.
The tape keeps everything clean and tidy.
The horns are a perfect fit and sit tight against the skin on the top of the surface.. Makes for a really strong install.

While I wait on metal servo arms to arrive, I will tackle the landing gear install.
I went with the more expensive electric system. I have the same electric Behotec C50 on my Tucano and Jack M has it on his Super Scorpion and it has worked flawless. I think the electric was about $300 more of an upgrade but I really like it. Behotec engineered if correctly with the very fine thread so the motors barely work.
I also went with the new High Speed wheels that Peter is selling. Only downside is the brakes need to be air powered vs electric. Peter at Altecare did a brake swap and took care of me.
The Behotec gear are works of art
