3. Put a bit of tape over the jumper. They have been known to pop out.  4. Just before take off, check your trim sliders. They are easily moved in all the pre maiden excitement.  5. Let us know how the maiden goes.  |

Locate the largest field in your area. Wind, trees, poles, wires, people and dogs are unwanted distractions for first flights. Have fun!

I have a question.
Is it better to put the antenna in the holes on the tail or just leave it taped to the fuse.

I personally think it looks better through the holes in the tail...It's never changed my control of the plane no matter where the antenna happens to be hanging from that day. Have fun.

3. ACT unplugged. Done.
4. All batteries charged (2). Done.
5. Extra props. Done.
6. Upgraded wheels, 2 1/2" front 1" rear (Dubro lite foam). Done.
7. Antenna placed in holes in tail. Done.
SCC are you pointing to the place where the ACT was plugged into?
Maiden flight will be delayed, talked to the rep at the LHS who I bought the SC from today. He is adamant about giving me a lesson so my first fight is a good one. He's not going to charge me for the lesson.
SB352 your also invited to fly when we get together.
I'll still be taking video of SB352 on Saturday and post the video here.
Winds are predicted to be 7 - 8 mph on Saturday.

As Garvey pointed out and to make sure theres no confusion.
Leave the jumper in and put a little bit of tape over it.
