Happened to me too ;). Its that allen screw. Was not very tight from factory but it was my fault for not check it thoroughly. They have the flat spot flipped so it doesn't grab a flat spot. You can dremel one or just tighten it super tight https://youtu.be/WL6ime9sweoComment

It maybe overkill to some as i often get criticized....
your spending too much time checking things that dont need to be checked.
i say if its my plane by golly every screw servo esc motor fan is getting the tengarang screen
i cycle all servos for at least 2 hours on a servo tester and monitor any abnormal temperature patterns mainly if no failures within that timeframe persists...
In general there is a buffer of up to three days (most cases one day is enough) time before any kit is allowed inside the Tengarang shipping yard TGSY before assembly is allowed to take place
this applies to any vendor reallyComment

My high rates are more or less the book high rates. I think the horizontal stabs are book high rate but aileron and rudder are slightly more. When I use full span flaps I have about half the book amount for the flaps and the ailerons match the same angle as the flaps so they have less travel. Hope that makes sense.
The crow was all, "that looks about right" since I didn't want too much and it falling out of the sky. To be honest the crow is more a conversation starter than a every flight use it thing. It works great after touchdown and taxying back. Looks cool too.
The full span ailerons and tailerons on high rate does an awesome fast axial roll.
The full span flaps are just a bit less stable on approach, a little tippy.
I have proper elevator comp mixed in in all these modes and it's amazing that I can go from normal flaps to crow to full span flaps with no pitch up or down. The programing has been really fun...

Youre right on the money ... exactly to the tenth decimal 2.02 lbs
though thats not all for safety overkill i will add a seperate 10A CC bec sourced by an additional 2s 1300mah lipo and add a 4000uF bypass cap to a spare port to resolve any sort of potential bec output conflicts from the output of the buck regulators step down to 5V, just incase one bec fails in a low heat dissipated bec via 2s independent supply across the ir drip of the stock regulator from the higher potential 8s to 5V step down would provide a nice safety net if needed.Attached FilesComment

50 years of metrology??? Or just lucky???? :)
the Hobby Star 5200 8S is going to save you 2.6 ounces and four fewer electrical connections that add resistance. And add 200mAh more flight time (probably 15 seconds max)..
But I realize 8S is not practical for everyone...
Specifications:- Capacity: 5200mAh
- Voltage: 29.6V (8S)
- Discharge Rating: 45C
- Charge Rate: 2C
- Wire: 12AWG
- Connector: XT90
- Balance Plug: JST-XH
- Dimensions: 133x43x67mm
- Weight: 855g

Yup your zero error weight prediction is quite scary indeed :)
i never had the intention to get a bigger jet im more of a warbird Ww2 junkie but this model reminds me of a raptor flying out of PDX portland back in 2008. I knew i would have to acquire this model in to the tengarang fleetComment

Hey guys, did we ever hear back about the potential clear canopy spare part for this one?
That'd be super fun to experiment with! :)Comment

15 seconds of additional flight time counts quite a bit especially when getting close to be threatened by lvcComment
