Warthog is now complete. Awaiting a suitable batteries in the 300-350g range 3s and 4s for maiden and play time. With no battery installed it weighs 1340g. So AUW will be around 1650-1700g. Not sure if this was good or not as haven't been able to find any posts regarding flying weight on this model but 100g below my last projected weight, I'm happy with😂.
To get the weight I needed for the battery I just strapped in a few different batteries to the furthest battery strap in the nose, until I got COG. Remove batteries and weigh them.
Just got to sort out the nose art now. Could leave it as is, but that would be a shame to leave out at this stage. Will throw up some pics once I have that done.
Got 2 weeks before I can get it maidened at local flying club, fingers crossed Mrs will release me and the weather will be favourable, be first time flying there and joining up.
Theres a few pics of the flaps after I finished painting the inner surfaces.
