Parts

I also have been ordering parts lately and a few of them came in.

That is the battery pack and charger for my Turnigy 9x that is shipping from Hobbyking.com in China.  I don't know a lot about R/C yet, but everything I have read says the Turnigy is a good solid inexpensive radio that you can build off of.  It is a 9 channel radio so it should give me plenty of options for R2.  Hopefully it will be here next week so I can start playing with it and maybe tinkering with it.

Also something else fun showed up at my door by the big brown truck.

 It's Crash's fiberglass Gen 2 skirt.  I must say that Crash does excellent work. I was going to attempt this myself, but after getting his dome and seeing the pictures of the skirt he offered I told myself to just go on and buy his and I am glad I did.

I also got my 'Rockler' Bearing from Mcmaster-Carr at about 5-10 bucks cheaper than Rockler.

It is the same size as the rockler and the same color and shape so I figured I couldn't go wrong with saving a little money on it.

Anyway that is all for today, hopefully I will get the notches sanded and the legs glued up this weekend and I will have another update.
