Well finally after two years on the production line, many hours of swearing, today she rolled out (well carried out) for a complete systems check, all flight controls working fine, slight issue with right main wheel leg, plus had an airleak though soon sorted that.

One thing I have noticed is how close the main gear doors are to the deck, so unlike the real one am going to change the sequencer so that when the wheels come down, all doors open, then gear down then main doors close, don't want to take out the doors on landing

Once the list of snags are sorted hopefully go for an engine run next week.

Most the swearing went on making the mounting plate, and painted it to match

Nice one loz! Looks awesome!
Did it fly with the m90 or the super sport?
How'd it fly? Pics make it seem very stable!

Got a few more flights now all going well, third flight was gear up, all worked fine doors all closed, few adjustments to make to canard down travel, but so far all is good, Merlin 90 seems a good match for the model

Awsome!!!! nice job building and it looks soooooo good in the air...I love this airframe. I have the foamie of it from Freewing and I really like the wing tanks. Do you have any future plans of adding them?
