Malcolm,

I am glad that you have successfully flown the T2. Apparently at least one other Buckeye in Europe didn't survive the maiden due to similar circumstances. It was either way too much thrust on takeoff or issues with the huge flaps. I am working towards a CG of 1cm in front of the main wing tube. Do you use the same CG?

One problem I see is that at approx 4,4lbs of lead is necessary in the nose to balance the main fuel tank behind the CG (cg measure when tank is full). I plan to move the fuel tank forward. No problem since I only have one turbine and lots of space available. Do you fly the stock tank setup with 6 litres capacity?

Thanks

T
