Hi Dan. I am currently at 38.8 lb with large Intarico air trap full and 2 sets of 2 cell A123 receiver batteries and 1 3cell A123 turbine battery up in the nose and no lead to balance at 1/2” in front of the back surface of the spar. I was at almost 40 lbs previously with the same batteries plus lead in the nose and with the air trap, pump and fuel sensor back in front of the tank. I also got rid of a ply mounting plate I had to mount these items in front of the tank. I am at 38.4lb with the air trap empty.

I have a correction to make concerning my weight. I also have a 4th gear battery included up in the nose. This 4oz 2S lipo is included in the previous weight of 38.4lb air trap empty

The SS only looks small if a big Havoc is around to compare, otherwise its a fairly big jet

Hi Vernon. I am waiting for Joey to get his ready and possibly fly them both in Waco. I also want Joey to give mine a good looking over and compare my surface travels to his. I would like to see his fly before I fly mine

Bob just curious..
dont you think the fuel lines are a little to long?.
knowing how long the fuselage is , and with the flow gauge.
and uat and pump in the front.
i think its going to "pump limit reached" report on the telemetric..

That will not be a problem. I am running longer lines in my Epic Victory without any problem. The engine in my Epic Victory is in the very back of the tail and my pump and UAT is in the tip of the nose and the fuse is 8.5’ long. I have done this with a number of Jets. The UAT is always full and it is a good source of front end weight eliminating
putting lead in the nose in many installs.

Hopefully its not my eyes playing tricks on me. But make sure you have a servo screw holding that nose wheel arm on. It might be there but I thought I would say something. Good luck with maiden.

The nose wheel servo in the picture was a temporary old repaired HS7985 that I have replaced with with a HS7955 like the rest of the servos in the plane since the picture was taken. I have also finished up some battery and sensor wiring since the picture. I should have said “almost ready for maiden” rather than “ready for maiden”
