Nice ingenuity there but I cannot wrap my head around the need for so much weight in the rear. What engines are you using?

Agreed, I've seen a very controlled single engine landing with one Cheetah (160) running, had plenty of power to continue level flight with power to spare and make a normal pattern to land.

The one I built also had Cheetahs, but all 4 batteries are near the forward edge of the cockpit. Granted this is the Su-27 model so perhaps the canards add a bit of weight. But then, you have thrust...

It's hard to tell from the angle, but please don't glue the back of the pilots' helmets to the headrest like everyone loves to do on our models. That's not how pilots sit/look in the cockpit.

We do about 1/4" with take-off flaps, 1/2" with landing - the 1/2" would be right on par with Dave's 12mm suggestion. That's measuring where the leading edge meets the fuselage.

I just realized you guys are referencing leaving the stab rods and unscrewing the stabs from the rods. Easy peasy. In my head I was thinking more about removing the rods with the stabs to get to the...

I would have said not really feasible. Andrew, are you able to remove and attach yours without pulling the turbine exhaust pipes?

We’ve never actually flown without the slats, they’ve been on the same channel with flaps since day one. I want to say I set the throw at 1/4” and 1/2” measured at the inboard end against the...

I knew they had all new gear in the works also, really just curious if they have their new set of wheels/tires/brakes available that will tolerate the weight without being too heavy themselves.

Or maybe he’s actually asking for pics of the CARF setup, but who knows?

Not sure that's going to be possible. The K-85s are only going to save about 2 lbs from the 160s in my build, not sure where you could shave another 4 lbs. My weight was also with junky Dubro wheels,...

Obviously on a plane that size it can vary significantly based on equipment, batteries, even just wiring. In my case, 49.9 lbs dry with a pair of 160s.

Yes, mixed with flaps only. I'm not near it now but I believe the drop is about 1/4" at half flap, 1/2" at full flap roughly. That's measured at the leading edge of the inboard end of the slat (or...
