Have a few bugs to work out, but it is finally in the air.  I have tried searching and have found some of them but am hoping you could send me to a thread with a comprehensive list of changes from the older kits to now.

  737. After landing. They came up normal. Mmm. From forum tidbits, cleaned brushes on flap motor. Still same. Replaced motor. Worked normal for a while. Suddenly, Now they won&#039;t move at all. At least they are all the way up. My guess is the relay for flaps in stick grip.? All other functions on grip work normal...<br />
