Default Finally Finished

It is finally done. The first flight was in the beginning of March. What a plane. I did not need any trim for hands off flight!!! Purely luck I am sure. Here are the numbers:

Weight 9 pounds, TME smoke system. Pumped OS120III with Slimline smoke pitts muffler. Fuel and smoke tank on the CG. Hitec 945 on the ailerons and rudder. Hitec 225 for each elevator half. 6.0 volts for power. Rudder and elevator are pull-pull. CG is set at 2 inches from the leading edge. It could probably be moved back to about 3 inches. I covered it as a Finnish Ultimate tail number OH-XSF. Dark blue like the Bluehawk, but with a silver striping with red trim in the silver instead of the yellow. Bottom wing has the same silver and red.

I do not have a way to post pictures for you guys.
