Thanks David.
Some filler blocks for securing and spacing the panels between formers were installed.

The last of the panels have been fitted. After fitting the wings for marking the sides I will replace the grey glass pieces with G10.

The owner of this kit wanted as much throw as possible. I think about 60° on ele should be sufficient.

At scale build weight, no I don't think it would, nothing but kit built it should.
The kit calls for 32lbs with a 120cc base. I am at 49lbs with a 170 and thanks to Jacoby's build I know mine will be great as is. If your in doubt go to a 170, can never over power especially when it's on the maiden.
I also assume you are speaking of a 2 stroke.

The wiring was run and I installed some plates for the wiring where it will run into the strut. Also the ailerons have been installed and waiting for me to install some linkage. Well, they'll just have to wait, for I am taking a break and watching some baseball.

Ok fellas, that day has come. Here is the official maiden but don't expect much for all I do is a few circles, get it trimmed, and get it down. And for the record I did not intend on going air born on this pass. But with the , learned in flight, need of down trim it apparently had different ideas. And it is also a really good thing it has plenty of power with a climb out like that.
