How is it for C of G ?
If C of G not quite right - what is there you can move to make adjustment ??
I have still to mount the motor and put the VTX in its final location when the antenna arrives so haven't got the final CoG sorted.
There is quite a lot of room for manoeuvre with the flight pack.
If it still needs more up front there is plenty of space in the nose cone to add some more gear......
Have you cut a hole in the middle of the wings for that receiver Rich ?
The receiver sits in the fuz. There is a clear plastic cover that follows the contour of the wing 'hump'.
The wings join either side of the fuz on carbon spars. Cannot see me taking the wings off very often though once it's finished.
Maiden today!! :o
All went well, didn't even chop Coyote's fingers off on the launch!! :D
Ian Davidsons boom prop worked well (Thanks Steve) no vibration visible on the video link.
Well chuffed, looking forward to the next outing.....

Flip your picture over Rich it's upside down.
Man that prop got really close to my fingers :) It flew really well, I was very impressed.
I have the full live feed recorded on my DVR if you want it.
Need to work out that iPhone freakyness!!
I have most of it on DVR too.
Photo fixed.....
That's better :)
I really liked it, it looked a bit odd, the receiver being in a hollow right slap bang in the center of the wing saddle had me a bit concerned over strength but it was fine. Its glide was good and liked the boom prop.
There is a composite cage lining the opening that ties in the boom, wing spars & fuz.
pretty strong really....
excellent stuff!
