Hey guys,
Just wanted to tell you I made the first 3 flights with my mini Avanti powered by JetCat P-20SE today.
It was very very windy (crosswind as well) so fine tuning was not possible. It definitely feels very light on the stick and it's easy to fly. Power of the P-20 seems to be really good including decent verticals.
I flew before the Airworld Cougar and Habu32 with a P-20 but this is by far the better model.
My goal was to build it really light and made some small mods.
I removed the 2 geardoor servo's and sequencer and made a mechanical linkage (saw this idea on RC Network and works great), made a pull-pull system on the nose wheel steering (stronger on grass), replaced the carbon stab rod to a hollow one and use small batteries (2x 450 mAh RX, 1x 1300 mAH turbine)
Weight without fuel INCLUDING battery's: 3,075 kg (6,77 lb).
Including fuel (750cc): 3,7 kg (8,15 lb), so the plane is lighter then Seba's plane.
Small movie of today to give a little impression. Sorry, recored by phone.
