N4008VCF IS ALIVE!
(Named in Honor of the Airplane I flew my first solo in, Cessna 150 4008V which was sadly destroyed in a gnarly midair collision in 2008)

I have money for upgrades, but school is starting up soon here, so they will come progressively.

Pictures!

No, not yet. Still waiting on a motor pinion and a linkage that I broke during the build. All the parts I got came not-soldered so I had to do a good amount of soldering.
To see the machine turn on made me feel good. AND I got everything working right.

I also felt like macgyver when I used an old PC power supply as a charger power supply.

Hey Paul, nice to see that you are making progress with the new build. Old farts like me probably wouldn't be able to see that canopy with those colors, lol. Mine are all painted with some combination of orange, yellow or red. ;D

Good luck, and keep us updated.

One thing I noticed on the servo arms for the bell cranks... did you use an offset or are the ball links in the standard mounting hole? Scott

Looks like both sides are on the top hole positions.
