Charles - If you are going to fly this one, do yourself a favor and take it for a spin as soon as it is airworthy. I hate it when I have to dig out the #11 on a finished plane! The biggest one for me is to make sure the thrust line is right. It really sucks when you have to move the spinner after blending it in. You don't have that problem but, no oil = no problems with flying it first, then finishing.

Ken,
Yes, no finish on this model until it flies. The finish can come well after.
I have the CG and plenty of elevator movement which is adjustable, so it should fly well, plus a Smoothie wing. Weight? I have to get a battery for the scale I have. Then I can weigh things.
I believe I put the cowling photo up. I'm still looking at sizes and performances for a motor.
The Badass 3520 is the only one so far which has a long prop shaft available.
I'm going to take a look at the hole pattern to see if it fits other motors which are less expensive.
Ken, as always, thanks for the reply.
Charles
P.S. Photos tomorrow, interesting ones.
