RE: Brillelli/Extreme Flight COMBO!!!
My B46 arrived today. Looks great!
I weighed it and all up for motor, muffler, CH, spark plug, motor mount & screws is 3.75pounds. To verify my scale I went to Cub grocery and weighed it on the check out commercial scale with the same results. Picture attached does not include weight of mount screws.
It looks great. My plan is to give it an easy heat cycle break in. Hopefully I will have some test stand numbers by Monday with SK19x7, 20x8 MA Scimitar, 20x8apc and NX21x8.

I plan to mount the 10oz gas tank so that the centerline of the tank is 4 to 4.5inches behind CG. Right now, it looks as if that is far enough back to access the wing bolts.
Based on calculations (Pro Engineer Model Analysis) with 10oz Dubro tank, 4.5” C/L of tank to CG, and gas the CG will move back by about 3/16” with full tank and about 1/16” back on landing (change of 1/8” from 10oz of gas to 3oz of gas).
