This weekend will be the maiden if the weather cooperates. I am running four 5000 mah Spektrum batteries and in order to get the cg at 3 3/4 inches the batteries all had to go right over the front wheel. Tomorrow I will weigh it and report back what that is. I taxi tested it up and down the street and it definitely has the power to take off. You can see the nacelles torque roll to the left if you hit the throttle too fast. I can see during flight that gradual throttle increases will be a good idea. If it survives the maiden I will do a repaint in the correct Alaskan scheme and apply new decals from Callie.

Good luck to both of you!!!! Nice looking jet Reaper, 32.5 is a good auw considering all your mods. Hope you guys have recruited good camera men. Anxiously awaiting the results. And Dan, in the RC groups thread another modeler that had some success with this airframe had to add carbon fiber cloth to the area where the nacelles mount. Ii believe reaper has already done so and im planning the same

Hope you’ve both got video camera's ready and charged!
Dan, your JPhobby fans are very similar in weight to the ejets jetfan, around 700g each.
CG with landing gear down.
Don’t go ballistic with full throttle all the time once you’re off the ground, and keep some power on for landing, although you probably know that anyway!
Good luck chaps, chocks away!

My A10 weighs 30 pounds 4 ounces. I am going to add cloth and resin to the nacelle mounts tonight and be ready for the weekend. I checked CG with gear down and my batteries have to be all the way forward to balance. I can see that abrupt full throttle on takeoff or otherwise would be disastrous. I flipped my FMS A10 over on its lid when I first got that a year ago because I pinned the throttle on takeoff before it had enough speed to liftoff. But I am looking forward to the flight. There is nothing like flying something that makes your knees shake from nervousness.

Ugh, well I'm glad it wasn't a total loss. Sounds like she will be air-worthy soon. Good luck on the re-maiden!My YouTube RC videos:

In order to get mine to balance I had to put all 4 of the lipos pretty much over the front retract. I did not fly mine because during taxi testing and running the motors up to full throttle one of my new spektrum G2 batteries went completely dead causing the left fan to cut out. But I will fly it this week. It either flies or dies——
