Hi Barry - nope, stripped of all parts and kicked into the corner of the shed in disgust! Waiting for an early spring bonfire to send her off.

Re: C17 Globemaster III - PSS
Not why is it in the corner of the shed, why did you scrap it at all. We need to know.

Well, Uncle Simon (Cocker) had a word with me and told me to stop being so silly, so I've dragged the remains out of the shed and dusted her down. I've completed a fair few "quality of life" improvements, so she's easier to rig.
I've re-done the programming on the X20S with some insight from Mike Shellim's methodology of trimming with mixes, and added my sample RB-30 redundancy bus so I can get amperage readouts on the tx of the flap servos....just in case!
I've run everything back up again now and she's been back together since that day, so let's see what weather April brings us.

Well we went, we saw, we didn't fly it A great event off the NW slope on the Orme, but launch zones have no real "margin of safety" here, so I declined to chuck her off. There's always another event I hope!
Here she is next to Bob's lovely new Nimrod.
