I finished it up and, weather permitting, I’ll put the maiden on it tomorrow. I couldn’t wait to hear the drive and was really happy when I applied electrons to it for the first time. Man is it sweet. Very very quiet.

The build finished up smoothly. I used the supplied air baffle template and made a foam baffle. It fit perfectly first shot. I installed a cf/nomex tray and cf square rods for the battery tray. Very light setup.

I set the tray position by checking CG. It is supposed to be 130mm from the LE, which also works out to be 80mm from the face of the wing/fuse mount. As I mentioned before, I am using the RoaringTop 5800mah batteries. I ran these in my Eternity with great results. It gives me plenty of extra juice for long/windy F19 flying.

I am using a powerbox digiswitch and 800mah battery for a backup system aling with the Mezon 130a ESC with its BEC set for 8v. I’ll probably go to a smaller backup battery in the future but this gives me plenty of battery capacity for sitting in the pits and messing around with mixing etc. without connecting the mains.

I am using the Falcon 22x22 F&R. B.J. recommends this combo. I was going to use the Mejzlik props like on my Eternity but he felt the Falcons were better and consumed less power. They are a bit lighter as well.

My weight is still fine, even with the heavier batts. I am 4950.

I also installed the rear CF rudder plate. B.J.says this helps in tracking etc.

Here are some pics and I’ll update everyone once it is airborne.
