Default 1.8 predator

I believe im the first to have one flying here in Australia
fhe plane flys quite well for a small jet . Im using an ACE 60 TURBINE of grass seems to get airborne ok in around 100mtrs
change the servo mounts to ali and dont use the wood
ive been doing some playing around with the CG . Balancing it right way up and upside down there is a big difference in the CG .ive found it to be very nose heavy but im working to fix the issue .
all the hardware is good . Rettacts are good
although ive found i have to plug the battery in at the start of each flight
all the fuel system components are good quality too
one thing i didnt like was the big opening for the nose wheel so i made my own door . Apart from that its stock standard

Carbon door and a small flap at the front
