Thanks for that

the VTX out comes up near the front left near the hatch so think I might need to get a longer skew made up to avoid motor noise/prop issues.

I dare not put anything on the wing tips, dodging trees anything on the wing tips might snag...

10 - 15mm is enough not to promote a stall. I have more only because of FY31 dulling my sticks in stabilization. When stab is off 15mm is plenty

ah thats worth knowing I'm hoping to get an FY31....

Shes nearly ready

Mark, I notice from the pics you have some high reflex on the inboard wing section.

I had a similar shape but was not sure what was best. On my first flight I needed to dial-in lots of down trim to achieve straight and level flight, not good. So after my first flight I hot twisted the wing root shape to follow the fuselage shape more closely. This reduced the reflex on the inboard wing section and therefore I could reduce the down trim on the elevons. This reduced drag considerably. It would also change the lift distribution along the wing to provide more lift in the centre and less at the tips - always good for stall characteristics. See how you go on the first flight.

its not fully together in the photos the near wing is not actually conected and its just balanced well not sat 100% level but will check it out.

[MarkLincs]

been going over the check list and where to put what....

found one of my 4s packs that was in my Skywalker crash is bent and won't sit flush in the battery section  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It was a bit of an "erm is that supposed to be like that" when I first got it.

Threw it up in the air and it did not need a bit of trim. Never had that before!!!

They do fly lovely!!! :D

[MarkLincs]

It never flew broke motor mount!!

Chucker chucked but wasn't enough and in she went

Damage is pride and motor mount !

[FPVSteve]

d'oh! hope you get her sorted ASAP

[MarkLincs]

best bit is I know she takes a bump now :)

[Coyote]

I've done it myself and seen loads of others stall it and so far not seen a single one take any damage from it. Built to take some punishment :)

[MarkLincs]

Gone back to start and need a motor mount but its in for the re-fit :)

[MarkLincs]

Right,

now how the smeg am I going to get these out...

[FPVSteve]

Screwdriver? :D

[MarkLincs]

Screwdriver said no!
