Plane has been completed. 49-50 ounces with 1.75 oz of tip weight , Stalker 51 SE , it is about 680 square inches of wing area 60 " wing. It is all inline , stab, wing , and motor. Initial flight reports flies very well especially coming out of square corners. Very, Very good ARF. The Assembly went very easily, and everything fit perfectly including joining the wings . An incidence meter was used and showed everything 0-0 without any adjustments !!!!
I am using and 1/8" Aluminum U shaped removable motor mount that is attached to the engine bearers with 4- 4/40 bolts that go into brass inserts
that way I can use any motor I wish and change very easily. All my profiles use this method with 0 problems. I have used these for years , none have very come loose nor has the motor which is secured by tapping the 1/8 mount with 4/40 tap . I will try to post some pictures but am struggling as to how as photo bucket and tiny pic are no longer usable.This is hands down the best ARF I have ever seen. The fuse is super rigid, plane is. very light and rigid, covering is perfect from the factory. The control system as supplied works well.
