OK... the moment of truth! All up weight is 18 lbs 10 oz. Not so bad considering three batteries, 4 oz of SmartFly and 4 extra servos. My CoG is at the backend of the suggested limit... about 3 7/8s. I normally like this area... we'll see. I really don't want to add any weight to the nose.

Now the wait begins. The weatherman doesn't seem to be all that excited about me flying for the next couple of days. Tomorrow and Saturday are both a good chance of rain with winds topping at 12mph in the evenings. Sunday at the moment looks half decent. Still a chance of rain but low winds. Hopefully I'll be able to get this thing at least started and tuned over the next couple of days and if... IF the wind and rain hold off for a moment, maybe even put it in the sky!

Yes, I'm really anxious about this. All those hours of work and... Whew!!!! This is a whole new experience. I don't think I've been this nervous since my first flight a little over a year ago.

I spent tonight programming. I have flaps, braking (crow), got my travels and limits all set up. Camber is set to go. I don't plan to use any of this on the first flights... I did not set up dual rates or expo yet. I do plan to at least dial in some expo before the first flight. And I'll do lots of range testing!!!! Both with engine running and engine not running. I really need to stop thinking about it!

I'll be certain to take lots of photos before the flight... just in case. []
