Default GP Rapture

Just finished The Great Planes Rapture. I really liked the classic lines. A cross between a Sportster and a Ultra Sport. The kit was a pleasure to build. The die cutting was excellent as well as parts fit. I clipped one bay off the wing. I used all supplied kit wood as well as all hardware. It weighs in at 4 and 10oz. I have a TT 36 pro on it with a Hitec 555 rx and 4 standard 148 Futaba servos. It is covered with Ultracote and Monokote. The cg is at 3.75 with a 1600 Nimh battery. The recommended cg range is 3.25 to 3.5. I think I'll go ahead and try it there. I'll report back after the maiden.
