Default RE: U2 Spyplane

Hi Mike,
It's been ages, but I never really had much time to get the U-2 Done, but It looks set to fly in two weeks time. Weight wise, after finishing and adding all the servos the weight is up quite bit. I need to do some final spraying, which will hopefully create a panel look. I haven't weighed it yet but, it definitely close to 20lbs. I agree I need a long runway that's why it's going to happen on a full size runway. I think if it flies well on the BVM 96, I will definitely put an Electric DF in it. I think Acceleration will be a little slow initially, it's running a BVM T-33 Tail pipe set up. This Motor did well to fly a 22lb BVM T-33. I included some pic's I took yesterday, It's good to be almost complete. Pogo's have been finished last night, Canopy will be done tonight, then it's Balancing and running the engine...
