    Yes I built it and it's my design. Everything for this one has been done by hand on paper but I'm working on getting it into CAD. Once it's in there plans will be available.

    That's what I like to hear. Nothing like a good tail touch or drag.

    Gotta promise one thing though. You fly it hard and the rudder needs to touch the ground a couple times. Don't want none of this "it's someone else's plane so I'm gonna be easy on it". I built it for one purpose and that's to beat the snot out of it.

    Checking the manual for my suk shows it balancing on the center of the wing tube. Don't have an exact weight on my batts but a similar one online shows it weighing just shy of 5oz so about 10oz total for both. I can actually say as well I had to make steel standoffs for my engine to help as well...

    Cutting grass now. When I get off the mower I will weigh the batts and check where the balance is. My batts though are mounted inside the motor box. I can get to them easy with the canopy off. Basically I cut two notches in the top of the motor box. Velcro strap passes through them and straps...

    This bird has been sitting in the corner most of the summer with a broken motor mount. Basically I had a bad epoxy joint between the firewall and the big piece of tristock behind it. Old has been removed and new tristock is glued in. Also this time it has a couple of screws holding it everywhere...

    Well chopchop. I will be building another soon. The first one I built for a local buddy before I built yours met its demise a couple weeks ago. Lost radio contact. Found it a mile away in a corn field destroyed.
