Decided to keep the DLE35RA and add an additional degree of downthrust, so now I'm at 3 degrees down, 2 degrees right. Also took 2.28 lbs of nose weight to balance at 5 7/8" per manual. Weight comes in at 16.02 lbs without fuel.

DLE35RA turning 7400 RPM on Xoar 18x8 on the ground, and idling at 1600 RPM.

I dialed in a nice throttle curve with expo, so she should be much more manageable in the air. I'll fly her around and determine if I need the additional downthrust or remove it back to stock.

BTW, fixed the wheel pant, so now she's back as new

Cheers

I'm still interested in picking up an ARF kit for anybody looking to sell
