This one is 23.5 lbs with a full UAT and an empty tank.
We have built two others. One at 23 lbs with a Jet Central Lynx 130 and another at 23.5 lbs with a Jet Central Cheetah 160 and smoke system.

Today I put 4 successful flights on the U2... after a few clicks the jet was flying on rails.. slow flights and very fast (199 mph) flights were perfect. Again thanks to Danny for another perfect jet...

Default CG question
Hello. I have just purchased one of these and found discrepancies with the manual as far as cut outs for servo arms no big deal but it makes me wonder about accurate cg of 190-200 mm is this a good setting

Hey Jonathan, you realize that every time we watch your videos many of us want to buy whatever product you are building. You should make a deal with the manufacturer and offer a way to buy the product. I'd go for it almost every time!

Now I desperately want a U2.. Don't even know how to buy one as the product page disappeared from aeropanda...

Those product pages are in the process of being updated. This should be completed soon. In the mean time you can look at the available options here: https://haviacion.es. Then call or email us and we’d be happy to take your order.

Love the vids. Be aware when you lean nose strut forward steering can get a little weird. If using steering gyro it won't be an issue but have experienced issue myself which required nose steering gyro

HAHA. I know I have that effect! It's sure fun being the instigator! Some manufactures get it and help and some...... not so much.
