Temptation progress

I am in the process of finishing the Temptation. Only a few things remains. Here are som pictures. 

 I made the battery tray out of 8mm fiberglassed balsa with carbon reinforcement along the edges and velcro tape to attach the batteries.

 The battery tray will be glued on top of the wing tube socket and the landing gear beam.

The elevator control linkages.

New toy

Since I am a part-time member of "Anonyme Dobbeltdekkeroholikere" I could not resist buying this Ultimate when NM had a sale earlier this spring. It is equipped with a Hacker A30-28s, APC 10x5e, 40A ESC and 3s 2200 LiPo batteries.  The quality of the kit is very good. The covering-job is good. There are a few things that I did not like. The method they use to connect the lower and upper aileron is weird. The wheelpants are kind of cheap. The supplied servo arms does not fit hitec or spektrum servos.
I am looking forward to trying this one.

ZN-Line Synergy

Here she is - with wheelpants. This is currently my primary F3a-Nordic airplane. The old OS 140Rx is a joy to handle. It starts every time and never stops in flight. I could use a little bit more power though. I miss the YS 160Dz power sometimes. I am using the Hattori 900 tuned silencer. I have heard that the german Greve muffler makes the 140Rx perform a little better.

New(used) bird

I came over a used Genesis earlier this summer. Could not resist. It is eqquipped with an almost new YS 160 Dz and hattori muffler. I tried it last week and it is a keeper, but I lost the engine cowling in flight and never found it, so I am currently looking for a new one. I only got one flight, so I can not really tell you too much about the flight characteristics, but I got a good first impression.
