Default RE: 86" Progress Reports

EMVIN - I know what you mean. Weather here in Dayton is unreal....it is winter is all over again.

Tonight, I did final measurements: CG and overall weight. Final weight is 16lbs-1oz, less fuel. I could easily be under 16lbs but 15.5lbs is out-of-the-question for me. Had I not put in dual regulators and batteries it would have been possible. Am I concerned? Not at all.

I did "nail" the CG. Mine came out exactly at 188mm. I am happy about this as I always have problems getting the CG right.

Overall, I am pretty happy with the build, quality, and final result. Looking forward to that first flight but it might be awhile.

David.
