Default BVM Super Bandit done!! just in time

Well here is some final shots of my SBB. Just finished it minus programming due to the fact my radio is in for a checkup. See you all at CaJets! Nick

Thanks guys- it was kind of hard this year to find time to build with family and flying for work. If i could do it again, i would buy the composite version or arf and save some time!

Just did my first air pressure check, and it is holding at 100 psi, with the gear up for an hour now-no drop!

BTW- Figuring that it would be way nose heavy as i have read on the forums, i planted mya123's in the ass-end, between the carbon rods and the fuse side. Well, this sucker is way tail heavy so i am going to scrap them back to the front= This means i just may have found my smoke tank's local!
