Looks very sweet. Tell us more about it. What is it? How much modifing? I love the gas tank.

It appears to be a little high thrust line, but nice stab.

Do tell more please.

Thanks guys.
John the thrust should be fine if i am right it will be about 2 to 3 in above centre similar to Magni,i think that a little with a stab will hold the gyro more steady than it being dead on centre and in my opinion making very twitchy.I have had a lot to do with race car building and they have a moment arm in them between centre of mass and centre of gravity,if you have a short one you will have a car that is very twitchy and a long one a car that is slow to react. The stab is big but not that well designed it was left over after the last red RAF I did the keel alteration on.
The mast is very tall and the petrone composite rotors are quite heavy. I built the fuel tank against the mast to minimise trim alteration inflight, approx 65 litres to give good cross country endurance.
Motor is EJ 20, with a Neil Hintz auto flight redrive
Petrone Prop
