it flies!!
The WARBOAR Flies!!! really fast too!!,,got in 2 great fast flights with it,,course they were both pretty high up as it goes so fast I wasnt ready for low level flying and the fact that it goes vertical very well,,the product engine was not wanting to draw fuel very well but once it started to scream I chucked it and held on!!!,,this is Combatpiggs ANNILATOR same bird except I had to put my servos on the outside of the fuse,but they worked fine.....,glides like a brick and I wasnt paying enough attention to the field and landed 100 ft out in the grass that comes up to my belly. the second flight and landing went even better,,its def not a hands off plane....

RE: it flies!!
10 ozs!! That explains the glide, the first one I made weighs 8 ozs and the glide is real good. The 2nd one turned out weighing 9 ozs, and the performance just wasn't as good as the first. The difference with these 2 was the wood selection. I would build another 8 ouncer, but the LHS wood supply is down to the pieces that I rejected last month. The difference between 8 ozs and 10 isn't just 2 ozs, it should really be looked at as a 25% increase in weight[X(]!.

RE: it flies!!
I thought I remember yours being 8oz,, cant really trust my kitchen scale either but its close,,nothing I can do now,,since I had to put the servos outside, I had to button things up permanent like, you dig?,,in order to take the wing off I have to undo the aileron linkage I even had to put in a switch and run the charge wire out of the back of the plane..and it has a 110 1/3aa cell battery in it,,...FR
I did get myself up quite high today rescuing my motor glider out of a 50' pine tree though
