| SteveM | Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 | Flying | 23-Jun-08 15:49 |  | | Views : 647 | | These benches make it a lot easier to work on the larger planes. Unfortunately I have to have the wing off in order to adjust linkages, check motor power, and RPM. |
| SteveM | Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 | Build | 18-Jun-08 16:26 |  | | Views : 623 | | My new battery charger is a battery, kind of like a chicken and egg problem I guess. About 20' of 18 AWG wire connects the Pb-Acid to the LiFe in order to limit current. Then 11.8" of 10AWG makes up my shunt ammeter, 1 mV = 1 A. |

| SteveM | Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 | Build | 16-Jun-08 03:56 |  | | Views : 667 | | I need to tidy this mess and cut a hole in the firewall for the motor wires, then it is on to covering. Weight is 6.78 lbs so AUW should be that plus the weight of a Monokote covering. It's also a touch nose heavy so I'll move the batteries or motor aft. |
