The equipment,...............

Fliton Element composite 170:

Transmitter: Futaba 9Z-WC2
Reciever: Futaba 149DP
Battery: TP-1100 Lipo
Futaba switch for digitals

Overall weight ready to fly:
10lbs 12 oz,..plenty of room to get lighter (battery, throttle servo, use the factory carbon gear).


Incidence:

CG:
6.4 inches from the leading edge,...a slightly nose heavy start.

My apologies on the crutch I installed,...I was wearing a sweater and as I was tacking it in place with CA,..it was moved. The crutch was made out of 3/32 balsa, cross grained and lightened. The weight was less than half and ounce on the scale.

Flight report:
WOW! With room to improve and more comments to follow,.......


Best Regards,
