I just glued up the vert stabilizer with 30 minute epoxy. Tomorrow I will add the decals to the wings, mount and glue the rudder in place, install the receiver, and do the final hook up to the servos. That should only leave balancing her with the 3s 2200 battery that I plan on using installed. I'll try to post some pics tonight.

Over on RC Groups a few guys mentioned to me that a power 15 hauls their Riser 100 almost vertical with a smaller prop to boot. Originally I was going to use a 480 1100kv motor but somewhere along the way decided on a power 25 with a 14x8 prop. Even though I cut some of the front fuse off I'm not sure how it will balance. If I get her to balance I'll maiden her the way she is being easy on the throttle, if she's nose heavy I'll need to use a smaller motor/prop setup to reduce weight I guess. Any suggestions?
