Thanks Ron, your sketch has given me a few more ideas. The wiring looms are now been modified to try and save weight, why try to save weight I ask myself. With the battery tray installed the only thing left to do is the wings. Steve

4th flight took place yesterday, not by me but by all the helpful club mates at Winterton. I am pleased to report that it flies on 3s and with the battery well forward. Perfect for me on the flat field there were also many experienced pilots admiring the way it flew including the pilot who flew it, he could not believe how well it glided. When I feel up to it I will explore flying in thermal mode. Btw if anyone wants a foamy glider I have a few going in the loft as they are no use to me anymore. 🤣 Steve

Thanks Doc, the Corsa it will be then. Steve

I am looking at the E Corsa and the E Spada. I'm an average club flyer with no competitive streak whatsoever what I would like is a light version that will catch thermals. @James Hammond - Aeroic Doc how light can you make them? Steve Earl

The third flight was with the CG moved back by moving the flight battery back, obviously. I am now thinking of replacing the 4s 2200 battery with a 3s 2200 in order to move the CG further back. This will remove the excess power and also reduce the weight. This kind of experimentation I find to be fun. Steve

Spot on Dick.

An ideal solution John.

Sounds good but what is it?

Tail servos glued in place. Next the wing servos, no going back now. Thinking about it I could modify the supplied wires in order to reduce weight that will give me time to think about the wing servos. Steve

Sorry @KonradI find your posts disheartening. Would it be possible for you not to comment/post, at the least on my topics. Thank you. Steve

Onto the wing servos I am having difficulty with the wing wiper. I keep breaking it I'm having to glue it back on. This is the best I could do.

All I know is Here The price attracted me first and although the specification is not as good as others I do not need for my servos to be programmable.

The supplied motor mount was made to fit the motor and the fuse large for a 32 mm diameter spinner. The fuse large nose was cut off at the 32 millimeter diameter. The tale servos were fitted. This is the link for the rudder

Lost for words.

Just starting this construction https://www.hyperflight.co.uk/products.asp?code=TYPHOON-E-ELEC&name=typhoon-mk2-toccata-electric-2m but it could take some time. Steve
