Thanks fellas....The maiden had to wait for the gear mold to be built. If weather holds, I should have the beastie flying next weekend. Other than gear install, it's ready...

Took wing measurements last night; the panels are a scant 420 square inches each. Adding the area covered by the fuse, I only get around 960 square all up. Mine is pretty light so it should be okay with the small wing.The stab is slightly heavier at 10 ozs RTF than I like to seebut not terribly so. CG should come out pretty close nevertheless

I've been keeping an eye out on the electric forum and been hearing some electric versions are coming out a bit porky. I'm not sure what the guys are doing....must be using heavy batteries I guess.
