I cannot believe how bit this thing has turned out. All up and running just waiting for the MFD AP to fit in and a bit of styling and I think my son should fit in it very nicely! ;D

Actually not far off - Polo. You see no one said when I started this hobby it was going to that expensive - Transporter needed now.

Seeing this makes me realise that I really want a twin motor plane...

My mate's MTD sounds awesome as it flies by
Well, now this is getting near completion I am actually thinking that it might well have been cheaper to by into a share of a micro light as I now need a bigger car - new shed ( wife has officially expelled me from the living room ) and all the FPV gear!

I remember the days when I didn't have a garage to work in... the missus hated it when I'd take over the dining room for days on end with my mess lol.

Same - I now have a proper man cave (a converted hay barn) as the kitchen table was getting left a mess for several days, then 'tidied' by the other half... that never ended well!

I also have an EVE-2000 - I;'m a newbie and went back to buying an FX-61 as I tried to hand launch the EVE and snapped both proprs with a bad launch/settings/lack of talent - will fix in the future but want to get the new FX-61 going as my first proper FPV plane last year was the FX61 and thoroughly enjoyed it and it proved to be pretty much indestructable!

Ouch That sounds like an absolute nightmare for you and your EVE 2000. I hope to maiden mine tomorrow - I have fitted some retracts so I really hope they will be strong enough and do the job - it is such a massive plane!!!! I will try to do photos as well. :D

Finally got around to it - hopefully maiden today or tomorrow. Retracts seem pretty solid

Finally got a round to the maiden. All went pretty well - seemed to need alot of right trim on the ailerons and a bit on the rudder so something is not right. Needs more power - current setup is 28-30 800kv motors and 4s 10000mah battery.
