Couple more flights today. Would have kept flying but I lost my tailwheel and didn't have a spare on hand :(

I still have the wheel from my crash so I swapped that in and substituted the c-clip axle for a nut and a bolt, red threadlocked in place.

I was going to try and move batteries and whatnot around inside of the airplane to shift the CG back slightly but with how I put it together, it doesn't look like that's going to happen very easily without some major rearranging inside. So instead I am just going to add an ounce or two of lead to the tail, probably glued inside of the rear spar. Normally I'd try to avoid that but an ounce is not going to hurt the airplane in any way.

Wow that's looking saweeeeet! I've often thought how cool it would be to put weight in the plane on a track, attach to a servo and then program it to a dial! You could change the flight characteristics mid flight!

If you pay attention, even I made an appearance in that video. I was the hippie in the end wearing black with a camera around his neck :cool:

I'm still trying to figure out how I missed you guys there, I was spending a lot of the time on the other side with California Joe and the Aztec crew....

That's why! You were on the wrong side! :) I wish Joe was still active but I think he moved to Washington to intern and after loosing azhar I think that was the end for him. :-(
