Default RE: Byron Originals Cap 21 Build

That's a kewl lookin' bird, man.

I have a bit of a CG issue. After all is said and done, I had to add almost a pound to the nose to get the CG pretty close to where Byrons suggests. I am now just over 15.5 lbs AUW. I have had to lighten the rear as best I could and the only solid thing I could comfortably attach to the motor box were...a couple of hockey pucks! They extend past the box and just about touch the cowl inlet on a couple of metal tabs screwed into place.

Unorthodox, I know but it werkt! The Quadra motors for that thing were heavy. Currently they are close to 4lbs and that is at the nose!  I was way under weight there. Now my confidence is back into flying it finally.
