How much does your Flacon weigh, would be interested as its an unusual turbine choise?

Mike

It weighs in right at 17lbs with the UAT full. I believe that the first turbine ever used on this model was a RAM750. I took all the extra measures to strengthen up this jet for this turbine. That's why I used 1/2 Prolink struts that I had lying around, I use a dial wooden rod fitted in all the aluminum tubes, I also used powerful servos as well. I have had it at around 160MPH – 170MPH @ half throttle and so far it's doing really good.

After my first flight I inspected the air frame thoroughly and all my mods are holding up really good. This is a very clean airframe and WoW does it move with my setup.
