Default Graupner Extra 300

Hi, I am just putting the radio and engine in mine, I am using a Super Tigre 90 so that I can hopefully get it to hover.
The kit has gone together really well except some of the hardware is substandard i.e. the contron horns supplied in my kit had too large a hole for the clevises causing quiet a lot of slop so I replaced those. Also depending on the engine used you could end up with a large hole around the silencer because of the hole that is already cut in the cowl, mine balanced with an ounce of lead on the tail and the battery under the rearmost part of the cockpit floor weighing in at 7ibs 8ozs should be OK and if it fly`s as well as it looks it will be a winner. Will keep you posted on the first flights as and when they occur.
