Here is an update from Sandor on the Turbo Patty. Good luck Sandor:

i can see you are just as impatient as me
well i finisched her yesterday i still had to sort out lots of small problems like:

fuel tanks especialy i need a closed system for aerobatics
CG balancing
total weight

well as for the fueltanks i think we have it solved , i used 2 x 1 liter plasmabags put them just behind the wingtube
used a festo fast release for fueling the plane

Balancing WOW i was just on the spot balanced it and was just perfect leaving the 2 batterys for the rc just behind the servo tray
now for the moment i fueled her up completely to see what would happen with the cg well........ it stayed almost the same she just came up a little but still with nose down , so i was right on the spot

total weight!! 7.8 kilo,s!!!
well that i did not expected since i reinforced the patty , adding 6 3300 MAH cells for the start and fuel system
so she is just as heavy as my other patty wich is actualy with the smoke system 8.1 kilo,s
so i will be under 10 kilo,s fully fueled

this week will be the maiden flight...........................
