U using trex skids???

[genexis]

ha! just a few weeks ago i asked you about going to a bigger heli, and your answer was a simple ... "nahz!". So what happened :P hahaha

[Tele]

good deal came up that i couldn't refuse you can thank Ammo for upgrading :P

the skids are from the blackhawk a mini nitro bird from the shop that "should not be named"

but they fit nicely since the mounting hole is vertical instead of on the strut itself..... some small drill holes, some spacers and she fits like a charm and is about the same width as the stock.

still getting the throttle curve worked out. she draws about 16amps hovering. weights in at 1516g with 60g of ballast in the nose. so in reality the flyweight could be 1456g.

cheers doug

Looks like u're not gonna take off the overspray layer on the canopy.......

If u can find cheap 21mm OD carbon booms, then it's gonna be a good idea to cut them to the proper length for this EP-8v2 to reduce the tail weight.

[Tele]

good idea

[ammo]

If anyone is looking for a readily available blade holder for the EP-8, then the one meant for Raptor 30/50 from TT works perfectly.

[ammo]

Also, if anyone has lobangs for 21mm OD carbon booms, please let me know, i'm trying to get some to cut up for the EP-8

[Tele]

What do you think about the swift canopy on the ep8.

lots more room for batteries. only 50g heavier a small mod and very little cutting needed.

does it look over sized?

[Adrianli]

It looks ggggggreeeeeattttt!!!!! But please do up more on the plain yellow.

[Frank]

It looks ok
but now the skids looks small
