I hear you there - I am below 15% gain on mine... just enough to "take the edge off". I fought flybarless systems for a long time, and was one of the last to make the switch. I could never get a...

I just drilled a 1/8 hole on each end of the intended slot, and then opened it up with a cut-off wheel in the dremmel. I finished it off carefully with a jewelers file. I didn't have to change the...

Thanks guys. I can't wait to see it in the air at dusk or dawn. I e-mailed Ulrich and he recommended all of the lights I used specifically for the UF. Here's the list by P/N.

If you're using the gear doors definitely fix them with one or two small screws as Dave recommended. I lost one of mine a while ago, and am just getting around to making the new one now....

Thanks Dave. Here's a video of them in action. Got the little guy flipping the light switch... was hard to pull him away from it after.

Good to hear. Shimming was an easy 5 min job, I fly mostly off grass and it's not often I use the brakes other than during taxi anyway. Now that I've got my 10 posts in, here are a few pics of the...

The textured finish inside looks great! Is this your first UF with the JP gear? My wheels needed a bit of shimming for the magnets to grab at exactly the same time. Otherwise I'm very happy, they are...

That sounds like what I want! It's got power with the 140, and will accelerate vertically.. but it's not a rocket. I think a new 180 would be the ticket. Overkill? Absolutely.. but I've seen the...
