Well since i didn't get a chance to start the motor for the first time thought id finish it up. Wanted to check the balance so I can devise a way to mount the battery. I think this plane was made for the Saito 100. Me i like to find the middle for the mfg specs for CG and work with that. So i set the scale at 4 2/8 and balances perfect with the battery at the CG. Thinking i can probally stuff the battery under the servo tray. Granted its going to make it a living hell to get to the battery when needed but, only thing i could think of without doing surgery. Well with all the luck i had setting the CG thought I weigh this beast. To my surprise. Wow only 8lbs with out a battery and cowl. This is going to fly very well.. So now besides mounting the battery and sealing the hinges. My build is now complete.
I am very pleased with this plane, no troubles whats so ever putting this bird together. If i really commited the time to this thing I could easily get this done as quick as Gary did. So i give VF 2 thumbs up for sure. I thank everyone here for some awsome hints and tricks on putting this bird together. Tomorrow if the weather gets better im going to start the motor for the break in process. I was gonna use my 14x6 prop for break in but, i totally messed up the prop when trying to balance the hub. So I had to go with my 15x6. If the weather cooperates I can probally have the bird up for the maiden next week.
