Got a quick update....


91" Corvus from RedaeroRC with a DLE55 on the nose...

I ended up having to add 1 lb, 9 oz. to the bottom of the engine box
at the most forward position right behind the engine...

The plane is balancing at 6.25" from the L.E. @ root...

My total weight is 17 lbs, 15.7 oz. with a full 16 oz (approx.) fuel tank that is pre-installed...

If my math is correct, on 1500 sq/in that's 27.62 oz./sq.ft. (lightest in my fleet so far)

Flies pretty nice, and decent power, and I'm only running
a 22x8 wood prop at the present time.....
I've got 7 flights on it now.....

Most impressive plane that I've ever flown to date!!!!
Loving it!
