I know that because nosegear didn´t come down and I had to make my best landing for the season to save the plane´s nose from being destroyed.. The plane got just rashed.

I changed main spar to Carbon , 30/27mm stuff. Saved some weight. Same with elevator spar, 14/12mm and 12/10mm carbon tubes put into the tail to save some grams. Total weight at the moment is 13.4kg with UAT full. I think it will come down a bit if I change one battery to smaller, maybe 100g.

Its a good trainer, 12kg engine is plenty. I painted my canopy black from the inside to save weight, so I have a spare cockpit set to sell, please send pm if interested.

BUT has anyone managed to open up the strut? I would like to change the spring from the nose gear strut, because nose is so light at the moment and the strut is hard. So it bounces easily.
