<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Just finished the ASM 88"<span class="highlight" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; ">comet</span>, built so wing tips detach.
The setup includes,
E-flite 46 motors E-flite 60 amp controllers, 6S 5200mah in each nacelle, separate 6v battery for receiver and servos, Futaba 3010 digital high torque servo and metal geared futaba mini servos in the wings.
The props are 11x8 and she tachos at
2800 rpm startup / minimum idle
7800 rpm at 50% power
11800 rpm at 100% power

It weighs in at 6.45kg WITH the 2 6S Lipos in, which weigh 480g each ( could get smaller capacity lighter ones if its advisable...)

I have bench tested the model, running at 50-70% power randomly for 8 minutes, Lipos read at 55%

Ran a second 8 minutes and one motor dropped from 8000 to 5000 approx after 5 minutes more so best I could hope for is 10 good minutes and get her down quick.

Any advice? I am hoping to maiden her this weekend, runway test her this evening.
There is a bit of slop in the rudder ( poor design) it seems to wave around a few mm in the prop blast. Here are a few pics, any advice would be greatly welcome.
