So in the end what is the all important final weight! Well I am very pleased to report about 16.5 kg dry (including some 700g lead in the nose to balance), cockpit and pilot.

Overall I am very impressed with the thought and attention to detail that has gone into producing this model, the lightness of construction without compromise in weight, the quality of manufacture, scale details, accurate shape, lovely retracts all electric, practical features and ease of access and maintenance. Yes there are a couple fo small niggles but compared to some other jets I have built, this one is top of the class. Well done CModels!

The model is ready for test flight but this will have to wait the end of another lockdown and possibly not until next year with better weather.

The following recomendations for the various control throws etc are direct from CModels as a good starting point. It may be the CG could be further back by up to 10mm with less weight in the nose depending on preference which I will decide once flown. The model should need little or no elevator compensation with flaps at landing speeds and depending on CG.

CG Rear of wing tube
Elevators +25-20mm
Aileron +- 22mm
Flaps at take off 30mm
Flap landing 90mm
Aibrake 65°


Thanks for looking. To be continued!
