A few more detail photos of the quick releases and included hardware. Motor mounts for both DA70 and GP76 engines are included. As always, the hardware package is extremely generous in nature.

Well. Life sometimes has a funny way of shifting gears on you and next thing you know you completely forget you had a build thread going! Lets throw some more content this way. These airplane all assemble the same way so there's not much really else to share other than a few install pics for my equipment. Landing gear is about the most labor intensive aspect. Interior layout:

I have since relocated the battery right in front of the receiver for better CG.

Using the AJ fuel tank and AJ fuel dot:

Creative foam for baffles:

DA70 for power on a Falcon 24x9. A kickass combo on this airplane with tons of power and smooth operation.

The all important flight report. Andrew has continued to level up every airplane he releases and this 92" Slick is the epitome of 70cc model performance. Clean tracking, crisp snaps, high speed and low speed 3D, it does it all with ease and authority.

The tail authority on this one is great, with fast aggressive tumbles and a wicked roll rate. It's truly an XA fans dream machine.

The color scheme shows up awesome in the daylight! The red white and blue with silver accents are vibrant and eye catching, it absolutely stands out against the liquid crystal blue sky. Anyone looking for a wicked 70cc machine should own one. Several top tier pilots have commented about it's aggressive and predictable nature with no bad tendencies to report.
