Looks good Ian, love the union flag look, I did me 1.9 in a F1 scheme, considering doing the big one the same, do you know of any details thread on a 2.5m build it would be good to look at the differences.

the 2.5 will look great in that scheme! Craig tomahawk doesn't do the winglets for the 2.5 only for the 1.9 so before painting the wings I had some machined bushes made and installed them so the winglets slide into 2 small 3mm tubes in the tips and a grub screw holds them in place! All I did was re size the winglets from my 1.9 .

5mm behind the main spar give me a viceless flight envelope. Although you could move it 20mm in either direction from there and still have safe peformance.

Hi all !
Mine is on the rear side... It sits on the main 3 wheels, but if I put the tail cone in contact with the ground, it will stay on the ground... I like it like that, and if the main gear was more rear, I would have put the CG more rear...
All that with fuel tank empty.
The Futura is more neutral like that and it's a blast for F3A style aerobatics...

Hello Champs,
Ordered my 2.5m after having flown 1.9m for about 2 years. Need following info:-
1. Perfect size for servos arms (Ailerons, Elevators, Flaps & Rudder)
2. Good CG location for delightful inverted and knifedge flights
