Anybody else scratch building tonight?

Shot in the dark here; but did anybody at FliteFest pick up a FliteTest plastic shopping bag full of battery charger, balance board, pink AR T-shirt, camo hat, prop balancer, and a bunch of XT60s at the bottom of it??? My buddy turned it into the lost and found with Jen Bixler aaaaand...it's gone. I'm figuring it will turn up somewhere, thought I'd try in the forums.

Sorry about that, but it’s probably long gone. Someone probably claimed it thinking it was theirs or just stole it. I hope you find it, but it’s not very likely.

[Matthewdupreez]

Any weight increase?

 

[Matthewdupreez]

10grams. 1/3 oz.,.... Basically none.....

I wonder if it would have a noticeable roll, most of the paint is on one side....

??? the paint is evenly distributed....
except for the black side underneath and that added only 3 grams...
you might use that weight of extra hot glue on the one wing without even noticing it

Help, I'm being sucked into a black hole of want-to-builds! Just the Italian section alone!

Just designed my own EDF project. It has more advanced, but familiar delta canard design and simplified construction. New F-20 is not canceled but delayed, it looks too difficult to build and fly without experience.

im working with a Virgin Galactic VSS Unity for use of a 70mm EDF laying around...
Here "put together approx" in a way, for a CG/glidetest.
