Your doing a nice job happy face ,as far as mine was concerned there were to many details off scale to try to correct it I understand it's a good flyer that looks good in the air i did consider the tailwheel position but as Percy says or infers its not worth it , keep going happy face it's whatever makes you happy ☺

Thanks for all of your comments, I've been thinking about the servo wiring and what a pain it would be when the wings are joined and covered. Did you use extensions and y lead or seperate channels for the ailerons, or maybe hard wired extensions to limit the number of connections?

I've had mine on the wattmeter today and it's pulling just shy of 62a, 1390w and 21v with the 12.8 x 8.5, 4 blade varioprop, so no shortage of oomph!

Overkill maybe, but it's easier to throttle back then get more than maximum 😉

5.5kg static thrust WOT rtf auw is 2.6kg.

Expecting flight times of 8-9 minutes with the reduced/ managed throttle.

Thanks martian, I am quite pleased with the result, a little disappointed with the yellow (different shades on cowl/covering) even though I used the same base colour.

Still working out how to get the inner gear doors fitted and working, I have a very positive idea that will keep me out of the house and in the garage for a little longer.

Time to enjoy its presence in the air now 😊

Hi Guys, I have just built one of the sfm Mustang kits and thoroughly enjoyed it so far, But i have a slight problem, i have lost the plans somehow and i am trying to get the thing balanced ready for flying, could any one tell me how far back from the leading edge the Cof G is please. Any help is much appreciated. Regards Andy
