I can't recall what the design weight is for this model but those wings do carry weight pretty well - and if there is an issue with the tailplane incidence, it can be trimmed out with the elevator, so hopefully your pessimism is misplaced.
Either way, it's looking great. Good luck with the maiden.

Thanks, Trevor.
The rear stabiliser is adjustable as well - provided we can get up and down in one piece. I built it according to the plan, so it will be a good starting place.
Yours came in at around 5 kg, so this build is a new interpretation.
I'm hoping that our long runway will give us a chance to get a good look in.
Cheers

I use wing cube loading to assess a models performance to take account of scale.

Yours comes in as 7.3 , so the same as a trainer/light sports model. Perfect.

Hi guys
Today was Classification day - inspection by the Heavy Model Inspector and a proper maiden.
I took some hasty video with my iPhone and cobbled it together using unfamiliar editing software.
It was very well received on the day.

Well done Max! I know you had various misgivings about this model along the way but, having seen it fly, I'm sure you feel a lot happier about it now and can enjoy flying it for many years to come.
