I have the 60r3 installed.

And you needed 600 grams to get the CG OK, that looks promising for my combination... :-) Also looking good that the weight is still around 12kg with your filled to the brim RC compartment. Maybe mine will also end up not too obese.

Really curious how yours flies! Exciting times ahead!

Small update on my progress (posted already on RCU... :-) ) with some pictures.

Corrected the motormount and drilled holes for the UMS. Upper row of holes are on the upper edge of the motormount, not super but for now I'll continue. Reinforced all seams with CA and resin, guess it will hold up.

Mounted the UMS, seems to fit nicely.

Made the cabling in the wings and cobbled some connectors using LEMO 10 pole stepped contacts (thanks Ruud!). Connectors in the fuselage will have some cable slack and click into wingmounted supports.

Wings are finished except some details with the gear doors.

Next up will be balancing and placing last components in the fuselage.

Reennie the second,

Beautiful work, Sir.

Best, LB
