Default RE: Twisted Tail of a TF Contender Build

With 1 or 2 weekends away from the maiden flight I was able to get the Contender fired up in my back yard ...tweaked out the GMS and checked for tank leaks (none) ...found very little airframe vibration using the Du-bro motor mount.... after the 10 minute engine run at various RPM's removed the wing and re-checked ever nut bolt from fin to nose cone ...all is fine.

Went over the lateral for aft balance .. rechecked all control throws and re weighted. I am all set to go other then range check at the field

have I missed anything?

It is almost time gentlemen
