Yours is fine I am simply saying that if a person added much more stuff they could be near o even over the limit

20 kg. -limit is only for contest-models. Aurora is not a scale type.
Sorry, it was only a joke - I'm normally not a mimose !
So I made also lot of modifications, if you are interesting on this I'm able to send pics.

So if you keep adding extras the weight goes up? That explains that phenomenon then!!

And why is it scary if, after adding extra weight, it gets close to 20kg?

My Carbon Spider Aurora being shipped this week. Should have for the JMA AGM this weekend. Will be up for sale, if anyone is interested PM me. If it doesn't sell we'll fit it out with gear, fly it for a short period then put it up for sale fully fitted with Jetcat P180RX

Thanks

Ian

Hehe!! Everyone so far has said Pablo's with a Rhino flew fantastically. With the carbon airframe being 3lb lighter and a 180RX pushing another 3lb thrust a carbon/180 combo should be perfect.

Sticking another 11lb thrust in is unnecessary.

Besides that leaves me 2 x 220s for the other 2 models

The 180rx will be just perfect I feel and is the natural progression based on model weight. Can't wait to fly it.

Thanks... Unfortunately I can not take any credit for the flying. Azza Stephens from the UK was at the sticks. The kid is beyond a great pilot. We look forward to have him visiting us a few more times for airshows during this season.

As for the Aurora anything more than a 180 is just a waste. I am 100% positive a 140 would fly it well also.

I have a K140G and could test how well it flies with it. Pablo do you know your AUW on the Rhino?
