The rest of the Rx installation is straight forward.
My installation consists of Brenner V3 CRS, Hacker C54, Spin 99, Futaba BLS servos (171, 173 and 174), Emcotech magnetic switch, 900mAh Rx pack, Futaba Rx. The final weight without main flight pack is 3790g. With a Hacker 5000mAh pack the all up weight is 4990g. So within weight but about 60g heavier than my Allure with exactly the same equipment installed. I think the plug in landing gear on the Alchemy is lighter, but the use of the same mould as the glow version does increase the electric model weight (plus the fuze is a bit bigger with the taller fin and forward canopy). The chin cowl adds weight, but the canopy is notably heavy. It is very sturdy and I think really strong as may be necessary for a glow plane. No doubt it could be made a fair bit lighter for the electric version, and is perhaps an area for future consideration.
The factory appear to have done a really good job where it really matters. Both wings look to be 0.6deg positive to the canopy line, and install very nicely. I have set the stabs zero to the canopy line reference, and will fine tune them as I trim her out. The alignment of the wings, stab and fin looks spot on. That is something I am very pleased about as it has a huge impact on how the plane flies and is very difficult to fix if the factory got it wrong. Clearly the major effort Bryan spend on training the Extreme factory staff (and associated quality control) is paying off.
No pattern plane is complete without some personal branding. She looks really good....I love the color scheme and expect it will present very nicely in the air.
So the Alchemy is ready to have her first flights. The maiden will be on Saturday, and I'll revert with feedback on flight characteristics. I'm expecting great results and a very quick process to have her trimmed in accordance with Bryan's recommended CG etc. I'll only install wing adjusters if need be, and I don't expect that I will need to.
