A 450+ battery brings it into c/g. |

Very very nice! When do you expect to be air-born? Looking forward to seeing a video? |

Well, still have to connect the aileron drivers. Add some trim, color. I hope it flys as good as the Helio Courior does. As far as video, I am at a technical disadvantage. |

Great finish. Looks like polished aluminum. Really smooth. |

Beautiful work! I'd take plenty of pictures first before taking her up on her maiden flight. You've done an outstanding job. |

Well, installed the new prop, 8x3.5. Wanted to see how much thrust it would produce. After 2 minutes, to run the battery down, thing started to SMOKE! Turns out the 17gr won't swing the 8" blade. Also there was not enough thrust either. In the process of changing to a 24gr motor. |

Smoke - that added touch for aerobatics. :) |
