      • We're all on the edge of our seats. I'm sure the prayers and positive waves being sent your way will provide a little extra lift. Great job on this project regardless of the final outcome - you got some skills.

            • Sorry to see that, but I agree still looks tail heavy. How bad is the damage?

              • Not bad, I can fix tonight and have her in the air in the morning. I have some weight I can add to her and hopefully get on track

                    • Yes it looks very close and so glad it's repairable! Definitely acted tail heavy. I agree with Dewey 3rd times a charm!

                        If the nose comes up abruptly again after shifting the CG for more nose weight you may want to review your datum reference between the thrust and wing chord lines being parallel.
                        Since you have no horizontal stab creating a incidence concern this datum is now your bear to wrestle and it is much more touchy especially for port/starboard balance regarding the roll left.
                        I'm in your court too, just hope that the shift of the batt forward is all it takes. ;)

                          • OV, Yeah that's my next check for sure, I know the original plane was with a 6° up angle and I followed that. Maybe that doesn't translate to this scale size model. going on seat of the pants, makes things interesting for sure. But that's what I was expecting though, if it was easy it wouldn't be fun :)

                            • I'll also check if the thrust yaw angle as well I was sure I got it even, but it surely could have shifted before the epoxy cured

                              • Aaaaahhh!!! It rolled about 150 ft and the nose gear collapsed on me.... So the good news is she's not tail heavy anymore, bad news still haven't flown.
