Ahhhh - another true believer - well done SkyHawk.

The clan of IC is gatherin g momentum with Grumpy at the helm

Like a snowball near the top of a hill! Haha! :woohoo: :evil:

done some prime on body,got gas motor

gas motor arrived a jba 15cc gas

Those two chappies still haven't quite got the landing technique off, yet!

well done 1 coat main color on tail, 1 more then start on tail, elevator, rudder. i need to find a grey for front half now once body done can start on wing.

then do some panel lines and clear coat

done second coat of red and black on top. just have to find a grey same as the primer colour

Sky, that Cdi ignition is the same as I have, at wide open it draws about 360mA, which can flatten the RX battery quite quickly. Can I suggest you give it a separate battery?

thanks klip yes as it has 7 servo's in plane so im going for x2 battery's 6v. one will run plane and one for cdi

Good on yer mate, you'll find 4.8volts is better for the Cdi, it draws much less current and works just as well. Somewhere I saw a recommendation that you should only use 4.8v on Cdi.

Ok i'm a bit stuck how to mount a cdi, any help would be good where to mount and how no instructions with it

The actual cdi unit, or the sensor?
The cdi unit can go just about anywhere that the wires will fit, if you provide a bit of cooling airflow. It is basically just a couple of transistors charging up a capacitor, which when switched on, triggers the spark. (That's a very crude explanation, before anyone leaps on me!)
The sensor should have a precise locating mount already on the engine. The spot it is placed depends on where the trigger magnet is on the crankshaft, and that acts like the points in your petrol car, telling the cdi when to 'fire' the plug.

Eric, if you look at the pic you can see the sensor's already mounted. A bit of airflow would be good for the Cdi unit, but they don't get that hot. Get the Rx as far away from it as possible! I'd say a good place is between the engine and the tank.
