this is a mhz gecko, measures about 13.5". i got this a long time ago to run with brushless mini rio's and it just wasnt fair. i built a micro fountian also which is the same hull with a different top deck. the fountian had a neu 1105 on 2s and this one always ran a 28-35 on 3s. i loved the fountian but lost interest in micros so i sold it. this one had been in the drawer for a long time and i dug it out when someone was interested in buying it. it didnt sell and after looking at it i decided to get it going again. full hull up restoration.
this time i will be using a castle 26-46-4600kv motor, turnigy 35a esc, hs-82mg servo, micro hardware from OSE, .098 flex and 27-32mm props. it will get a 2000-2200mah 2s. this is all replacing a turnigy 28-35-2700, same esc, minicat hardware (i never liked the rudder it was to big and hate the odd size flex shaft with bearings in the strut), hs-225 (again to big), 2200 3s (big again). the goal is to get the same results i had with the fountian, it was always a little slower but smooth, quiet and light. this one will be a little heavier due to the cf but i am sure it will be alot lighter than it was.
i started by tearing it down, did the team green and cf as always. mounted strut and rudder. the mistake with this build is i didnt plan on changing the hardware untill after paint so i didnt plug all the holes. there is some epoxy that will eventually get cleaned up and most of the remaining holes are going to be used for the pushrod seal and water line.
