    Hopefully mine balances well but its easy enough if its off a bit to change the location of the tail servos on the plans. I just picked up one of the smaller versions of the aeroworks pro 260X . Has some 60 size OS nitro engine on the nose. MY buddy I got it from had to tape a 5/16" allen wrench...

    It may or may not work out that way. Not really sure. Though I will be doing some low and slow stuff with this I have tried to design it more towards high energy stuff.

    Guys good new, plans have been re printed and we are in business. 6" scale reads right on the money but my wings are still showing about a 1/4" shy of the full span I was shooting for. I think this may have to do with all the rain though as I know plans will shrink and grow with varying amounts...

    Hopefully you got my email with the plans. I reprinted them this morning but don't have a tape measure to check them with near me. Will check them when I go on lunch break.

    Weighs 17.4oz and running a hacker A2020 on a 10" prop. Hard to beat that setup on a lightweight plane other than my crap esc. Felt like an on off switch right where I wanted to hold my throttle in a harrier.

    What version of autocad are you using??? I'm gonna send you the file to look over. Currently all my stuff is saved a a 2013 file so don't know if I need to re save and an older version for you or not.
