"Follow someone's footsteps and you will always be a step behind"
Coming along nicely. I am currently mounting the rudder on my build.
Where do you order your SS screws?
Ok Guys uploading photos from computer, then writing on iPad....
Ok, got drives done. Another one of those things I don't like doing. But I use a metal file and clamp it against a piece of wood while spinning it in a drill. That way I can just shave off as much as I need. Also glued the main 4 blocks that holds the servo, and cover ESC's the other 4 blocks gets glued in when the epoxy sets. The need a slight different approach. I would consider her almost done. Just have to go over everything, thread lock the screws and waterproof a few areas just incase any leaks.

sorry for the Spam but here my idea about how a 3080 looks like (by the way the motor on the right is already a 2240..)

@ Kent: Beautiful work on the interior! Maybe you also put some color below the "HPR 115" letters in the center sheet?
regards,
Manuel
@ manuel you had to go ruin my fun messing with kent LOL so what do u plan on using them for
my youtube videos http://www.youtube.com/user/chris81983?feature=mhee
@ Manuel, yep there will be color under the HPR but I didn't install it yet, as I still need to trim and make it look neat. My first thought was to have a color panel that lights up when ESC's are armed. I'm still looking into that option as I have a few backlid displayes sitting around.

Kent,
I just got some BECs in that use a remote arming switch that is operated by pin (BEC is not armed with pin removed). On the unit that the pin goes into, there is an LED that illuminates green when the ESC is armed, and has a LV warning that flashes the LED bright red. I wonder if you could use something like that to illuminate your letters? You could re-wire it to more LEDs, or perhaps just put it behind a lens so it lights the whole area...
Let me know if you want a link to what they look like. I made a post about them on the KB forum in the new products category.
@ Keith, was not going to use BEC, but rather just steal power out of RX from the aux CH. I have a white light panel used for TX backlid panel its around 1.5'x4' so going to try that with some translucent purple vinyl

I'm still confused why 1 led/diode would mess anything up, when there are monitors and stuff that connects to the RX and lights up to display voltage left on RX pack. One would think that will draw way more? The RX is good to deliver certain amps right?. I don't see a problem here.

Hello Everyone,
A small step forward.....Polished up some "clamps" for the pull pull wires and installed the stuffing tubes for the servo wires as well. Nearly there!! only need the Lipo rails, cooling outlets, mount ESC's and I can take her for a spin hehe.

Sick dude she looks totally amazing
my youtube videos http://www.youtube.com/user/chris81983?feature=mhee
Looks amazing! I am so envious and I just want to be at this stage already! When I ordered my HPR C5009 I requested black CF but instead received Kevlar. I really dont like the color of the Kevlar and am sort of kicking myself that I did not straighten that out last year. Oh well. Your boat looks ridiculous.
Kent I hope u dont mind me answering for u but yes keith they are. Plus all I will say is that u will not find a better coupler. They are very precise while also being very light.
my youtube videos http://www.youtube.com/user/chris81983?feature=mhee
@ lavigna, Thank you!!! How ever the Carbon/Kevlar can look "SICK" as well. Have a browse through my MHZ 138 Thread, its almost the same as what I'm building now. (except, this one is really tough)
@ Chris....you make me type anyway, and I agree..... LOL

Next move is to get the battery mounts in. I thought something simple not over the top will do. Here is a visual of the plan.
