I received my plane on Tuesday from Fedon Aircraft. This is a very nice plane. I am using a Hacker A50 12s with 5s 4600 TP batteries and Jeti opto plus 70 amp esc. For servos I went with some JR 8231's that I had in a drawer.

The plane really went together fast. I skipped their ez connectors that go on the servo linkage and just with with an EZ link with an L bend, no slop and simple. I had to move the battery about 2" forward to hit the recomended cg. My plane came out at 5lb 12 oz with the 20oz battery. I am happy with that. It was 72oz without the battery.

The only fix that the plane needed was on the wings. The right wing moves up and down 1/8", easy fix.

I just got back from its first flights. The plane is going to need some right thrust. Trim required with 145cg, 8 clicks of up. a couple of clicks of left aileron. KE was slightly going to the canopy, might be because of all the up trim with this cg, no roll coupling. I will put a few more flights with different cg settings before I do any changes or mixes to the plane.

The power with the 13-10 prop was 1100 watts(60amps), this is enough for a good upline but it is not overpowered. The batteries are new so I only flew 5 minutes on each. Temp on the battery was 120, motor 128, ambient 91. I think these numbers are good for Arizona. I set a time for full throttle only and a normal timer on my 12Z. In the five minute flight I spent 1 min 40sec above 80% throttle.

It is not a 2m plane but it was alot of fun to fly.
