Status: offline 		Hi everyone, for those that might not be aware of this model, this is my scaled down EDF model, but with pusher brushless power. Still early days, and very much experimental, it has a CF rod extension to the prop.
The motor is in the fuse, but feel I am not getting the power I should be, I think the bearings are causing much friction, I estimate I'm down on maybe 20-30% power.The CG was too far rearward,and trims were everywhere, a somewhat hairy test flight!

The motor will be moved nearer to the rear, and a shorter CF tube will be added, maybe only 3 inches long instaed of 9.

Here is the first flight caught on video in drizzling rain.Please excuse the language at the end, we tried to delete it,but wasn't successful.So if you don't want to listen, please don't download it.
