| Fuse as shown weights nearly 0.6 oz, I am going to delay putting on stringers till I have more of the details sorted out. The LPS motor and small battery may not be enough so I either need the EPS-300 shown or a brushless equivalent weighing much less. |

| Yesterday it hit 102F so I restricted myself to activities that did not generateheat (few people around here have A/C). This build is for the 2008 "G Ghallenge". |

| Coming in for a landing. It glides a whole lot flatter than the Tyro and needs more roll out on the runway to come to a stop. I found myself crossing one end of the runway 10' off the ground with the motor off and leaving the far end still 10' up. |

| She handles the wind a little better than the Tyro but not by much. Only a few clicks of trim and level and straight flight is easily attained. |

| About 10-15' of roll down the runway and she's off! Power is very mild, about where the Tyro started out which is correct as here I have about 55 W/lb. |

| Taxi trials, despite my efforts to increase prop clearance, the 14" prop can be heard hitting the mat in bumpy areas. AUW is 6.25 or 6.9 lbs depending on the batteries I was using, with about 400 watts max power. |
