If anyone is interested im a dealer for Mibo now, will be adding everything to my website this week. It takes me a while to figure that stuff out and I need to redo a bunch of stuff.
Once I get back to some kind of normal job I plane to keep at least one on hand, but since I lost my airline job I will just do normal orders. Cheers

The fans are 7.25”
I’m glad you like!
I have a public service announcement. I was soldering up my horizontal and vertical stab servos and as I was moving the surfaces, one of my metal ball joints popped off on my port horizontal stab...Yikes! That’s when I saw that there is a lip on one side of the outer ball link that keeps the ball in the joint. If you get that backwards, the ball joint can pop off. Check those out if you use the mibo hardware!

Thanks Rav for the dia. Too large for me but i like the concept and drew up a version of it in 3D CAD this afternoon. Nice catch on the ball links! A washer under the bolt head adds some backup reassurance also. PB wire is really great stuff, as are their servo ends, makes making your own extensions an easier task than in the past.

I'm making slight progress on mine. Been trying since several days to get the good mix ratio for the gray. My painter did a mistake and I have to repaint the flaps.
I'm also doing the prework for the weathering process.
I was mainly working on chipping, it's a little too heavy but I like it.
I hope it's fine if I post some pictures even if it's not a gen6.

Jimibar, post up man!!
I have been working on my mibo, slowly but surely.
I have my engines, K160 G4’s.
And wow, I always forget how much wire goes into building these bad boys!!
And learning from previous mibo threads, I added some aluminum tape to the pipe seams.

Thanks Bud, just trying to learn the product, plus I want to get one to fly for myself someday, I was think taking some aluminum flashing air duct material you can get at Ace, lowes or home depot and cut a strip in about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch and use that like a clamp. Its soft enough to cut with scissors but much more durable that the aluminum tape. I use it to make heat shields and mounting landing lights to the landing gear struts and it doesn't weigh much more than the tape.
