Default RE: The Electric Bobcat 50

I have been dry fitting the tail feathers. Incidence seems pretty close. There is about .25 degree of postive incidence in the tail. It is quite possible that this incidence is designed into the airframe so I will not mess with it. Looks close enough to me despite how easy slight building intolerances will set it off. Looks like this airframe is probably laser cut and the accuracy is actually quite good. I got an AUW yesterday. 10.3-10.4 pounds about 165-167 ounces. This makes for about 35.8 oz/sqft loading. It is a pretty big plane tho. I'm sure landing it will be real interesting but I do have a 600ft paved runway to play with. I hope just the retracts hold up okay at this weight. I'm gonna have to really focus on landing her easy so as not to blow the retracts out.
