I have had mine about the same time, I think you were on the build thread the same time as I was. I use the 160 FS Twin, retracts everything (the receiver and glow battery) right up against the firewall no nose weight, came out at 20.5 lbs

as for pilot skills: advanced only !!! even then this is NOT and airplane you fly while talking to your buddies or drinking a beer. Early on I even had a slight mishap (which means little damage) on a landing with full flaps it bounced a bit hard jumped back into the air where I decided to do a go around, so i went immediate full throttle, and as you can guess the torque flipped it right on its back and slid on the ground for about 10 feet.

the proper procedure would have been very slow gradual throttle and milk the flaps up untill a climb is established.
