Hi Mark/Colin/Dave,
Thanx for the inputs.

Mark How much elevator compensation do you have with flaps ? Up or down ? There's no mention of it in the manual.

Dave both, the air connections and the MPX connectors are free floating in the wing and fixed at the fuse.
I've used the Robart 1/4 turn lock bulkhead fittings for air in the fuse.
I havent checked for flex in the wings like you suggest but I've heard similar reports about the wing flex , although it looks fairly solid with quite some carbon lay up at the root.

BTW If you guys look carefully at the pics you'll see the color mismatch between the inlets and the rest of the fuse.
Similar mismatch on ventral fins ,gears doors essentially all components which seem to have been finished later.
That's my only peeve - rest of it is just amazing !

Hi , I used the top hole above the four holes, the plane flew sweet and landed nice, I have since then also put a pilot in which is only a set of overalls filled with bubble wrap and a head, bone dome. Still flies super, the landings are short and predictable. I have over 30 flights on it now.
Just my 2 pennies worth.
