Good luck on the flight, let me know how it goes.

I got mine yesterday, man the covering was sagging. Looks like it had been in a hot warehouse for a while. Got out the trusty covering iron and things look good as new. I'm feeling a little better about the weigth with mine as I go. I've weighed all the pieces similar to what RCAdmin did in that other post. Looks like I should come in at or just barely under 5lbs. Using Central Hobbies CF pushrods, mk horns, etc. 1450 6v nimh pack that I'll probably put under the fuel tank up front to get the weight off the tail. You guys will laugh, but I'm putting in my OS 46FX... Good thing is, I get about 13000 rpm's off of the 12.25x3.75 props on it. Been a really strong engine, plus it's helping me keep the weight of the plane down. I dunno if I'll rocket out of hovers, but I'm new enough to the whole 3d thing, I think I'll be fine for now. You can always switch engines later...
