Here's a little tip for your weight calculations. It works for me. You take the shipping weight of the box with the plane inside x 2 then divide that number by 4 and then add 6 ozs. That will give you the weight of the finished airplane. In my case the shipping box weighs 16 lbs. So 16x2=32, devided by 4 = 8 + 6ozs. = exactly 8lbs 6 ozs. Wow!!! That's gonna be a great flying plane.
Drumbum, If I read your post correctly you said you needed to go to the rudder servo in the tail to get it to balance correctly with the 110. Is that right? Also in an eariler post you said you didn't trust just epoxy and you went to the hardware store and bought some flnaged nuts. What are you talking about for that? I missed it. Sounds like she's a sweet flyer. Can't wait.
Thanks,

yes and it balences right on recomended .. i am running Li-Po 6v setup,since the battery is so light i was ever so slightly tail heavy so i put my throttle servo right behind the firewall, i have the tank back to the tube
the bolts i am talking about are for the supplied horns. they are 8/32 screws, in the instructions it just shows in the pics without nuts on them and dosent say anything about them.BUT if you look on the second page of the manual they have a picture of all the hardware and there are 4 nuts in that pic that i didnt have in my hardware bag, also on the description of things needed for elevator it mentions 8/32 flange nuts BUT noting about installing them..then in the pic of the rudder on non pull pull setup it actually shows a nut on there but still says nothing in instructions. This plane vibrates alot with a 110 and i feel safer with them although i suspect it is supposed to have them (anyone else have them with kit?)
