Finally completed the construction, designed in 3D.
29" wingspan, 3 LB RTF, designed around the Wemotek 480 fan size
Its the prototype for a bigger turbine powered version, If it flies well that is.

Well it flew very well. directionally stable, which was a concern.
It has tailerons for control, no flaps installed.
Took a lot of gross trim changes to get it flying straight and level, but all went well.
The C.G. is correct, the mains need to be moved back a little bit.
Had a lot of Expo dialed in for the first flight, which can be reduced now.
Landing was initially fast, but slowed down nicely with some up elevator.
Thanks to Ronnie for the piloting.
The video is here, not the greatest, but at least we have some.

Changed the fan to the Wemotek 480, less thrust, but got a complete flight.
Trimmed out fine and is easy to fly, takeoff and land.
