Thanks Gregg! in my experience the YS mount is the best, I never had one vibrating more in time, check the oil in the shock absorber

Doug for pricing you have to call or e-mail CAmodel

test flights today.

The airplane flew great, very slow, CG was almost perfect, few adjustement needed, so far I have rud to ail mix 3%, rud to elev 2% after more testing I can tell more, only 4 flights today. but so far its a great airplane for sure, Rudder authority is amazing so rolling maneuvers are very easy to make.

I will post a full report after the trimming process is completed.

Tuny, get to the field early put it together, let it sit around for 3 or 4 hours, let everybody admire it then take it apart put it back in th car and go home and eat dinner. I can' even look at it!

This is an excellent thread and excellent craftsmanship. Are there things you would change now that you have been flying the plane for a while? Also, when I talked to you at the world championships, I understood you said the plane weighed 1850 grams, is that correct? Congrats on your success at the Worlds.

thanks,
Mike Harrison

tuny

Thanks Mike!!

After many fligths I like it every day more, this is really an amazing airplane, I would not change anything, in fact I'm waiting on a second kit to build it exacly the same.

the correct weigth is 4.850

thanks

Mike, Glow or Electric?
Dave

drmike

Hey, Dave,
it was great to meet you. i believe it can be done electric, although very difficult. i am not sure what i will do. according to others the 1.75 CDI is much improved over previous models and it will be much easier to make weight. the anti battery rule needs to go away but that is another discussion.

Hello Tuny . I just bought a xurama and I have available dle 50 ccand dle30cc motorized think this plane would be possible with any of these engine options? through space and vibrations? and which you think would be more appropriate?
Gracias

tuny

Alejo I just sent you a PM

Hello Gregg.

yes, this is a stock kit, I modified the fuselage to use glow power, and made my own formers.
