Not checked the balance yet Allan,  just  finished painting the undercarriage spats and waiting for them to dry so I can stick them on. Must admit that they were the trickiest part of the build, the cut lines on one set are much deeper than the other which has meant one set is thinner than the other at the top. don't think you can notice it much without really looking though.  Will post some photos when I've got them on.   Regards   John

Allan,   the aluminium undercarriage weighs in at 400 grams inclusive of spats, wheels, nuts and bolts etc.   I decided to get access to the batteries by going cutting the front of the cockpit off and boxing it with a bit of balsa to make it solid. I added a hatch clip on top to keep it in place and it all looks pretty solid. I've just competed the U/C in ali as stated and the wings are complete but yet to be covered. the next job is the struts. the power train is pretty much the same, 600w with a 70 amp controller on 11 x 9 and 4s. or maybe if i can away with it a 10 x 8 three blader. I built from the cnc pack.   regards   John
