Best of luck to you Lance with your project! I'd been impressed with that massive mold work you've been doing. [8D] Clever ideas for tweaking your CG on first flight! I'm glad you didn't really need them.
It will really be impressive when running under turbine power! I remember when the Yellow DF kits would show up at Superman every year (I think yours, and Roy from St.Louis) - they looked like a handful, especially watching the attitude during turns. For some reason, they always looked to me like flying guitars!

I even remember when Frankie T drove over one in a golf cart!

I'll always remember that!
