Well this thing came in at 6lbs 8oz after adding a brass nut and brass spinner nut plus 12 oz of lead across the motor mounts to balance. That's 26.5 oz per sq ft. It's been ready to fly for 2 weeks. Every day I could fly the wind blew straight across the run way.
Today was the day!! I went to start the engine and found I didn't have a needle valve. Back home to get it. Then I found I had the wrong transmitter. Back home to get the right one. Started engine and began to adjust needle. The tank split open even though I had wrapped it in strapping tape. I'm using a YS63. First time that happened to me. Gave up and went home. I don't think this thing wants to fly. WELL SUCKER YOU ARE GOING TO FLY. It may die but it's going to fly. Try again next week after I get back from a little rest and relaxation in Yosemite.
