Shawn installed his own Rx of course and set the throws. He may need some more expo or less throw on the up elevator to keep the pitchiness down. When I flew her, she was CG'd right on the money...

Thanks, Cosmo, Splatoman, the center wing section gets a bit wavy in the sun, but so does my 74" ESM Corsair. So far, they are both holding their own against the forces of nature and laws of physics....

Splatoman Brad, glad you still have the engine intact. That's a fine job of baffling the engine. Tell me, did you have your outer wings permanently attached or were they detachable for transport? I...

I've read thru the latest comments about failures several times and still not sure what is failing. Is it the spar or the glass covering?

Matt, after that small amount of "play" do the flaps become solid? In other words, they can only move to the rear inflight, so, they move a bit then stop. Correct? Flaps are not going to be used at...

Matt, the main thing is to get them (all) to deploy to the same degree of deflection, one to the other. "Play" is a bit hard to define, but once they are down, do they hold their position? When you...

I might have a video coming of the first flight. The guy said he had it, but was trying to work it in with other things. Maybe I'll get some video soon.

Matt, that would work. Mine was right at 28 percent MAC which is 5.0" from the center LE of the wing. 135mm is 5.3". I feel anything from 4.5" to 5.5" would work. That's about 25 to 30 percent MAC...

mkriley, not sure about the fit, but at only 4.0 HP. may be a bit anemic. Even a DLE-55 (5.5 HP) would be more powerful, by comparison. The cowl will accept a diameter just under 10" diameter. The...
