Here is my other distraction... (been working on this v2.2 for a while)

I just put it on the scales, fully painted, complete with the gear legs - it's 5 1/4 pounds. I only have to monokote the flying surfaces and install radio and power equipment. I am really happy with this weight !!!!

Yea, I've been flipping on going YS or electric on this one. I think I could pull off an electric conversion with the smaller motor and small packs - but I am afraid that I will be dispointed in performance.

I've got a sweet running DZ thats going to drop into this baby. Should be under 10 lbs with DZ Dragon Power.

I do think I am going to do an elecric VF3 build next - A good friend gave me a AXI FAI motor - thanks Bruce...
