Tommy,

Thanks for the feedback and input. We sound like they are real close to being the same. I did not change any hardware, only added the hatch latch and BEC. The BEC should cancel out your switch/regulator as it is in about the same location. My ESC is mounted on the same plywood provided space, same as yours. I used the factory supplied spinner and factory supplied tail wheels assy. Don't know, it's possible your spinner could be lighter than the one supplied. The supplied spinner has a pretty heavy backplate. You mentioned that yours balanced with the battery location that you specified. What was your actual CG, how far back from the leading edge? They gave 175mm to 185mm (approx 6 7/8 to 7 1/4") I am assuming that it was around 7" (middle to rear of the wing tube is just about right according to their instructions)

Good to hear that it is not sensitive to battery movement and not much elevator is required. I am close to being able to give it a test flight. Should have it mostly finished this evening. Looks like the weather might cooperate by the end of the week into the weekend, so hopefully I can get a few flights in. I've been waiting a long time, as I know that you too had to wait some 5 or 6 months to get your kit. I have already epoxied my landing gear fairings on. I have had no problems with them on the Miss Wind, but if I do, I will remember the "goop" idea. I never thought of using that but that is a great idea. Again, thanks for the input from everyone, hope to see you soon Tommy,

Larry..
