[] Average wind about 15 with gusts to "Oh my Gosh!" I made it to the field with all my stuff but it became clear that I would just be blown off the runway. I wanted to check the sync of the motors. No way. We had our big Gathering of the Giants fly-in/Air Show over the weekend. This is the 10th year and over the two days several thousand spectators attend. By Sunday afternoon most of the crew is wore out, including this pilot. So I was not really hot to do much at the field today.

If I were to make major changes to the Chadwick I would relocate the batteries centered on the CG and distribute the Rx servos etc to keep the plane in balance. If she flies successfully with he electric system and depending upon performance I may rip off the Monokote and fiberglass and paint the plane, maybe. The black will never make it in our Florida sun. I had it at the show (static demo)and the Monokote bubbled badly.
