Thanks for the tip. I'll add them in the cart next time I go shopping which won't be long because a couple days ago after I get all the way through set up I realize I have no vertical tail fin.
Thought about fabricating one for now but have I come to realize that waiting for a tail proper is the best idea, I also have a coworker who is going to give a go at an unpainted canopy for me.
So for now, the new Gens Ace packs sit waiting for their first charge.
I did spool up enough to check TH, correct rudder direction, and check for low res vibes. All checks out for now.

Not a fan of the waiting game my good fellows......

Default 550L motor shaft replacement

looking for a good video or tips on replacing motor bearings and shaft. I removed set screws at top of motor shaft and tried to push shaft out with arbor press but shaft is not moving. I guess the next step would to heat motor in the oven to 200 degrees ?

I don’t get why you need that high of a head speed for the flying that you’re doing.. if you lower the head speed, you get two more minutes of flight.
