Getting near the end! With my inaccurate scales came to 3.7 kg with battery. CG is about 10mm behind the plan. Might have to add some lead.

Nice one Obby, do not try and fly it with the CG in that position! It'll only fly the once!

Do it now, you may never get another chance

10mm behind the plan. - That depends on where the plan is!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Nice job Obby - looks good - much more satisfying to build than go out and buy a @#$% ARF.

Thanks for the offer. If you look back at post 74 I did order some from ebay.
Tony,
How did the weight of your light version come out compared to the others? How about the CG?
I hate adding lead to models!
