Mike,
I have the engine stripped at the moment to fit a new stainles steel bearing before I run it in.
I will weigh my PANIC when I get it all together. (About a week till I get the new bearings.)
I actually have two OS 61's that I intend to run in a Twin. The PANIC lets me change the engine in a few minutes and will also test the relaibility of the throttles and idles. I need a good tick-over on a twin)
I just swapped the aileron servo clevises for ball-joint connectors because the throw of the flaps plus aileron deflection was causing some nasty binding at the servo-arm end. Did you measure your throws?
Have you tried spins in full drag? Sorry, that was a Monty Python moment. I meant with the "crow" deployed etc.
BTW - I am curious where you fly? I used to fly in Tonbridge area , and @ West Malling back in the 70's when I wasn't throwing slope soarers of the Devils Dyke or Butser Hill.
Regards,
Eric.

What is the weight of the new ARTF Panic?
You may not have noticed but my original question was back in August last year, so I'v had the four servo wing on it since then, crow is a hoot I have never seen an airoplane decend in the vertical so slowly and then flip to horizontal and land, back up too vertical and hover, Robert got this thing just right when he designed it and its been good all of these years, its just that someone gave the name 3D to what this thing has been doing all the time.
