Jim,
The retracts are very efficient and you really don't need that large tank. The 8" long 345CC tank is more than enough, unless you plan on cycling your gear the entire flight. lol

Anyone has the measurements done and flown for the T-One using the Xicoy CG meter? Mine is looking at 990mm between nose and mains, and CG is 100mm from mains to equate to a 230mm-ish CG position from root LE. Looking to affirm these figures.
Nervous with my own measurements, my last plane took off aft CG so some self doubts here whether I got it right.
TIA

I'm guessing most are using what they have on hand, that's what I did! You don't need a lot of stroke. More strok is better then less as you set the door at full open with full extended strok on the cylinder. When closed the cylinder does not have to bottom out. I'm guessing 1-1/2" to 2" stroke.

Hey Alan,
given the level of prefabrication I'm pretty sure you could get it in the air in a week.... however i'm not in a rush to get it done, especially since I like to do my builds véry thoroughly... building the wiring loom alone can take me up to a week....
My goal is to have it ready for next season, once the weather starts getting better (or warmer... ;-) . I don't do much jet flying in during the winter....

Got a few more flights in, no issues this time and my new UP6 valve worked great.
Feeling more confident in the jet so opened her up a bit, I'm still noes heavy as inverted she drops the noes and needs a little forward stick to fly level so I will move the flight packs back one at a time. Fuel consumption is good as after a 6min flight I have half a tank left after shut down. So I'm flying with a bit of fuel forward of the CG too.
Here is a video from earlier today.
