Hello We got flight number 3-4-5 done this sunday, the weather was very nice, a good wind on the runway,but the sun is still hiding a little behind the clouds. This is the very first video my wife took with her new camera so the clips are a little short, but we hope you can get an impression of the ...
Hello Finally I got the test flight done today, very nice weather except for a missing sun. The model flew right out of the box it needed no trim at all, it handles very very smooth and has no bad habbits at all. The only small issue is the outer geardoors on the mains, I have to move the horn for t...
Thanks, my model has not flown yet I am at the moment working on a new set of mufflers for the engines, but I hope to fly it within a month or so. I hope to be able to post some photos and a video at that time.
Hello Congratulations on your maiden glad to hear it went well. I have had mine outside for some photos in the spring sunshine and to make the initial start up of the engines. I had a little set back on my canister muffler system the headers are way to short so the engines cannot run on that system,...

Hello David. Thanks alot it is very good information I will start with a little amount of lead in mine better safe than sorry ;) mine also have a removable tail section for transportation but I have glued the center section and fuselage together so it can stand on the landing gear, I have made some ...
Hello Alan Thanks for your quick reply, I have tried to see where the balance point goes with gear up and it drops the tail a little but if you look at the plane from the side the fuselage is almost still horisontal. I have built in two hardwoodblocks with blind nuts at the CG into the centersection...
Hello I have just completed a model like this, here in Denmark, and I have a question regarding the CG, I can see you moved it a little backwards, I have balanced mine as per plans too, that is the CG is 6 inches from the leading edge at the fuselage sides with gear down. Do you know where your CG e...
