Well the maiden didn't happen tried but I couldn't get it to lift off, our grass strip is very smooth and grass is cut very short , I was using a 5200 6s 10c that I use in my F3a pattern plane but ran out of runway which by the way is 100 mtrs long, I had a old 5000 . 40c pack which is a bit swollen but I couldn't get the canopy to close, model seems to have plenty of power with both battery's , I have the cg set at the front of those plastic bits on the wing.
So I have ordered a new 5000 40>60c so will have to wait another week before I can try again

Here is the link to the Venom battery so you can see the measurements.

An FPV guy showed up at the field I fly at, and made this short movie for me. So cool. Loving my F35.

To bring this model fully into the modern EDF era, we started from the ground up and redesigned a completely new mold for Freewing's most popular 70mm jet over
F-35 V3's proper Center of Gravity (CG) For the proper CG point refer to the photo at this link.

Thank you very much! But I have seen that some say even at that point it becomes tail-heavy and can easily crash.
