A few pics from last weekend over at South Parks in Reading with all the new electrics sorted.....only little hicup was the fuse wasn't rated high enough with the new MFA 850 (stalls at 40Amp) lucky enough she did that close to launch...

Anyway got her sorted temporarily and had a quick test run.....  :-))

Luckily no more mishaps, gonna final fix everything in place now. Oh and get some 40A fuses  :embarrassed:
