It has been silent around my build, but I am about to be 100% ready. Only remaining items: final radio / throw programming, wing fence mounting and final balance check. Hopefully maiden next weekend.
Below some pictures of my radio / turbine install. Thanks to all of you that shared build pictures to inspire me to do it a little different. Notice this is a 1.46:1 scale model of the legendary Freewing Avanti S :-)
One Q about balancing: I noticed that when balanced empty on the gear to the recommended 230 mm (with hopper simulated full with some added weight there), the plane is extremely light on the nose wheel.
So, does the 230 mm refer really to gear down, hopper full ? This is how I arranged all equipment to match that CG setting. Just to verify how you guys did it..
Thanks,
Florian
