| Nice model! Are we going to see some flight photo's? |

| Thanks! Test glide went well, now I'm just waiting for the wind to die down before the actual powered flights. I'm looking forward to them! |

| no pictures yet, but did get a couple of lovely flights off this evening in the yard. Still too windy really to give it full winds and let 'er rip though...don't want to lose it in the trees! |

| What was the weight of yours? And did you have to add weight on the nose? How did you balance it, just let it balance on the finger tips as per the plan? Mine still hasn't flown very well yet. |

| AUW is around 12 grams...I made a mistake and put too much paint on the tail section I think. I balanced it using balsa pointers at the wingtips, adding weight to the nose until it balanced at the point indicated on the plans. The removable thrust button gave me good access to glue additional lead in the nose section. |

| Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try mine on balsa pointers and see how it balances. Will let you know... |
