    Looks fantastic and a different idea with the two seat conversion. I moved the lead from under the lower exhaust ring, I thought I would need more because of the move forward but a reshuffle in the battery compartment seems to have resolved it.
    Can't push my 2200 4S battery further back, but is balancing OK with the leader I've added, plus with the FPV gear in the area behind the canopy has moved the CG forward.
    I'm prepping 2 x 3D printed Firestreaks my friend created on his Bambu printer.
    He's used light PLA , just a few grams, hoping it's not going to upset the CG again.

    Really looking forward to this one both FPV and LOS. The bright scale scheme should help a little with LOS...So the theory goes lol.

        Be aware that if using my missile designs there are now two options for the Firestreak and RedTop. One is permanently glued in place, the other has tabs for insertion in a socket (also included) so the missiles are easily removable/interchangeable.

        These are missiles scaled for the Freewing 64mm BAC Lightning.It is in two parts with a joiner to minimize supports needed for the "wings" when printing. The front ends come in two versions:The tab on the side needs to be inserted in a slot cut in the fuselage of the Lightning.A socket (included) is glued in place and the firestreak2 or RedTop2 front ends have tabs for insertion in the socket. This makes the missiles easily removable and interchangable.There is also a filler piece for the top of the wing in case you do the "aileron mod" to put the servo arm and aileron horn on the underside of the wing. Also a "shield" to go over the servo arm to help prevent damage in grass landings if you've done the aileron mod. It's handed, so you'll need to make left and right versions.If you're willing to do a LOT of work and fiddle around, there is also a mount for an "afterburner" lamp. It does not attach to the motor, it is glued in the tailpipe right behind the fan unit so the mount is aligned with the motor but about 1mm behind it.
