Wow, I'm really surprised to see someone else that has had this plane sitting around unfinished working on it again. I've had this one for about 6 years and am almost ready to get it up in the air finally. I hope to have it ready to maiden this weekend. I am running 2 OS 26 FS mounted on thier sides. It is really beginning to look very coold. I'm glad I found the screw hole in the wing, as that was one of the major things holding me back. Just got to mount the windscreen and rear cowl and the wing struts and it will be ready to go to the field.

This ARF was a piece of sh.t :-) Heavy, total weight was 5800g, model was to heavy and to fast for me. And finally stall :-)

Well I flew it last Saturday and it was tail heavy. I'll add some more lead in the nose and try again later this week. The 26 flew it well it had plenty of power even did a single engine go around. It was kind of sloppy in the air due to the CG off and tended to want to take off again after landing and try to stall and bounce. Went around a couple of times and the rear engine ran out of fuel. Landed with the front running with almost no fuel after 8 minutes. It took a lot of up trim and a lot of left elevator to get it to fly hands off. I'll make adjustments and it should be a good flyer when set up properly.
