Hi Miketahin

Congrats for the maiden!

are you sure about the weigt of the model? 9,7kg is about 20lbs..even if you have the composite wing version this seems to be a bit much?

Another thing: why on earth do you need lead on the nose with FG33? Did you mount servos in tail or something?

Anyways if it flies well: that's what counts!
