Default RE: RCME tornado plan

Hi acr,, test flew my tornado but it struggled with the 15 in it, so fited an sc25 and it flies really well but had to put tons of lead in the tail to compenstae for the heavier engine, Am building mk2 at the moment which should be half the weight as am using much lighter grade wood, and incorporates many mods to it, will have a tuned pipe and will copy you regarding moving wing forward to adjust c of g, have also made rear half of fuse 1" longer moved tank back couple of inches, and made rear internal fuse sides wider at the sternpost where they pull in to allow r/x battery to sit right in the tail via a small hatch underneath. will be finished in a couple of weeks so will let you know.
