Default RE: new Arf Boomerang 14lb thrust

Guys

The model is now 100% complete. Final weight 14lbs 10oz CG at 175mm behind LE, 12oz lead right up in nose (In noseleg compartment)

You may not need as much noseweight with a P60 as it has a heavier ecu battery than the manual start Wren 54 and you can also mount the solenoids and ecu at the front. My model has a 6 ounce Graupner hopper which is always full mounted right behind F1 under the radio tray.
You can see this in the gear install photos. I still don't believe this model can be built at 14lbs unless you use very light servos.

Sorry no flying today as it's crap weather here, hope to get out sometime thia week. A picture of the finished model and one with my Savex size L39 for comparison. I don't know why Allan used to call this the Baby Boomerang as it ain't no baby!
This is a large model and should be vey easy to see in the air.

Any more queries regarding the model don't hesitate to ask.
