I'm waiting on a package from China. Ok, well, technically Hong Kong, but still. China. Most R/C pilots use batteries from Hobby City in China. It's literally a choice between buying one battery or buying 2 or 3 (sometimes 4). Kind of a no-brainer, unless you're weirdly into brand names. The packs perform the same, and in some cases, better than, the brand names anyway!

Anyway, I can't finish the airplane until I have batteries, because the next thing I need to do requires the servos and such to be powered up. The order should be here either today or Thursday. Then I'll center the servos, install the control links, set up the throws, verify motor is spinning correct direction, then put on the cowl and landing gear and she's done and flyable!

I'm getting very excited to finish this up! I usually hate working on airplanes, but this one, I really enjoyed the process. I took my time, and it still went very fast, and I had fun doing it. I'm also getting super-excited about the upcoming Top Secret Projekt™. Muahahaha.
