      Dude. Loosing all that lead, you've got to be STOKED! :bluecool
      So if it's balanced, and you have the correct amount of reflex on your elevons, and the thrust angles match and are correct, and she sits with some (some) positive wing incidence......
      I believe that a high speed, less than half throttle, taxi test should result in a lift off!!!!
      PLEASE get it on video!!

        Oh yeah I'm gonna get some video, I also just moved the nose gear forward as well. So it looks more scale.

              Dang wind is extreme here today however, the slow speed taxi test on rough ground went great. Just to test the shocks and stuff since I fly off grass

                              Well if I had a way to transport it, I'd love to build a 12' B2 or a 35. Do quad 70mm edfs in the B2 I feel it possible after building this plane. And would be wicked cool!

                                  That would be awesome!! Totally sympathize on the wind, been grounded all weekend as well due to it. Hopefully things clear up and settle down by next weekend.

                                    Absolutely, and I know you guys up in your area have rougher winds than we do normally. I am going to think on the B2 far as a concept. I will draft up the idea I had in mind if anyone else has the time and drive to try it. As I said if I had the space to transport it I'd make the attempt.
