Still working on the CG (I have one pound taped onto the tailwheel right now), gonna go push/pull on the rudder. BTW, that pound on the tail doesn't even make the plane fly different weight wise. It can handle that weight easily (so cans and pipes are no problem... probably wouldn't notice a 4cyl either); I weighed it twice and it came out between 38.5 and 39.5 pounds with a 5cell Nicad pack taped to the tailwheel. I'm calling it 39 lbs with a 3W-170 on stock mufflers (and an 8oz motor spacer, oh, and a pilot). I could get a half pound out of it pretty easy, but it flies plenty floaty as it is. Additionally, I'm working on some other refinements. But, what I can say at this point is:
* Weight is a non issue (39 lbs with a 3W-170 and pilot)
* Lands itself
* Precision rolling circles itself
* Torque rolls hands free
* Docile (trying to loosen that up a bit for freestyle, but the IMAC and sport flyers should love it)
Still working on a snap rate that I like (so far snaps best in 3D rates, haha). And, still trying to get some good video... Joe McBride is out of town! Here's a video taken Friday with my pocket camera. I handed the camera to a guy I just met at the field...
