Does anyone want one of those cobra motors someone linked to earlier? The 6-700W ones that the racers use on wings?

I have one brand new unused which I won't need.

I'll probably take that off you! How much you want? Will PM you.

This first flight she was a little tail heavy. Second flight with a bigger battery was spot on. Just need to work up to launching her on my own now!!

Nice one, did you add any reflex on the elevons or was it just CoG?

dp106

I needed to add some reflex.  I had them set up flat with the bottom of the wing but it needed reflex even after I'd got the cg sorted

Nice flight, got to be happy with that! :D

How much reflex and elevon movement do people have? I'm now at the final configuration stages of iNav, hopefully maiden next week!

Jake Bullit

Yes flies great. :)

About 3mm reflex,and I didn`t fit the wingtips yet,seems to handle pretty well without.

Awesome, thanks for that. I don't think I'll fit the wingtips either, Chris seemed to suggest it wags less without them and I hate wag.

How much are the nose cones Andy?

£10 plus a couple of quid to post them out, they fit in a little jiffy bag, so it's not too bad.

There's one last kit left too, just waiting for someone to buy it!

Duct Tape and a Hammer.  A cure for all known mechanical problems.
