I finally got mine lol...

Built her up and maidened her today. She flies nicely but much slower than i was expecting. I wouldn't say it was underpowered but spent a long time at full throttle without much cause for concern... could definately do with more speed, maybe i shouldn't have fitted her with the armaments but they just looks so cool lol. Handles wonderfully though, very stable.

I found with the CG at about 160mm i needed almost 10mm of reflex trim. Thankfully i had already set a fair bit so it was within my trim range so could fly happily on the maiden, and now that i'm back from flying i've reset the trim and set it as reflex. I found 40% expo made her a very gentle bird to fly, will probably settle on 30% after a few flights.

I decided to make the top "spine" removable and that's let me sink the esc into the back there, just need to sort out some ventilation for it now. Also added a rudder though didn't get to test it much during the maiden.

She's now sat with a load of filler to fill up the cracks and gaps, started to sand it down then got bored. I'm thinking the paint scheme needs to be high vis because even on the gentle flight today it was hard at times to tell what way was up!
