RE: BME 37% Ultimate
Lookin good Chris! Did ya get your CG figured out yet?
I've really started workin making sure mine stays in, so far so good! All I have left to mount is the tanks, the smoke pump, and the smoke battery. Hopefully I'll get the paint work started this week, and Im shootin to have her finished by next weekend!

All done except for painting the firewall black and building some baffles, should be ready to run it in the next day or so, so the maiden will be this week if the weather stays as nice as it is.
CG came out right on the button, with the smoke pump and battery up in the engine mount box right behind the Firewall.
With so little left to do I went ahead and weighed her and she weighs............................................ .. 28 lbs.
with what Ive read though all these post that sees to be about what they all weigh so I guess I did'nt screw it up!!!

RE: BME 37% Ultimate
Hey quick question. I ran the engine for the second time tonight and I noticed a problem with the flying wires.
while they seem tight when the plane is not running they seem as if get really loose when it is running.
how normal is this? and should I tighten them more before I fly?
