Well it was slightly nose heavy, so I am repositioning the battery, I am going to re-maiden it soon….

Nice! (Better tail heavy than nose heavy........)

I had to scrap the design, maidened it several times and it was just too aerodynamically unstable. I think I might try my hand if designing a mighty mini profile 3d plane…..

The Midi Mambo is painted (Rustoleum rattlecan) and trimmed (Ultracote, automotive trim, and black Super Monokote). As long as you're careful and don't turn the iron up too high (About 200F, max), those covering materials will stick to painted surfaces.

Otherwise, the servos are in, but the pushrods and other innards need to be done.
I hinged the control surfaces with CA hinges, using clear Gorilla Glue. A bit messy, but it holds well. I did need to insulate the tailwheel strut from the rear fuse with Saran Wrap, so it wouldn't be glued to the fuselage.

At this point, it looks like the model will be 27-28 oz. RTF, depending on the battery (2S2200 or 3S1500) and motor.

Started working on a Dominator KFm3 wing today while I was waiting for parts for some other builds! I really like the design so far, it looks fast sitting still, and it should be a quick build too

Will be faster if you move the cg back a just a wee bit so it unloads the elevons more, but fly it stock for a bit first to get used to it. Ideally, you want 1 trim click up from dead flat for level flight.

Thanks, I'll give that a try once I get the hang of flying it!

EZ KrakYak!
Works with EZ V2 and EZ 3ch.
Two canopy options. Original Crack Yak style, and Bubble.
Waiting for good weather to be sure the latest changes are ok, which means at least 'til next week for my area. Yuck.
Plans, soon.

A MS Gee Bee R1, probably gonna need a B pack equivalent. 8x6 prop most likely.

I wonder how hard it will be to fly?

I don't know yet, it's got a 6in cowling and a 25in wingspan.
