I agree the v-tail looks great, but have many compliments on my std tail design from the members at my club. I have not flown the v-tail version, but another plane of mine has some challenges when the throws are high on the v-tail. I built the std version with an added 1.5" rudder and it flies great.
) and I think I'll reduce the ailerons sizes next time I build one. Other than that, it was a great flyer and started to zoom about pretty fast whenever forgot that I was trying to fly it slow and not crash. It's a great plane, and I'd recommend it to anyone. I'm looking to repairing it and flying again tomorrow 
Hahaha hug the lightpost that’s hilarious. I’m glad it flew will for you!!I finished up the build this morning, and maidened it in the snow. One problem though: stadium lights. Some ice gathered up on my LE from all the landings I was doing to trim it out (I'm not good enough of a flyer yet to trim it out in the air), so I'm blaming the "hug with the lightpost" on the icing and the funky flying characteristics it gave the airfoil. Luckily it's not very broken because the crash was right after I took off and I didn't have much airspeed yet. Just need to remake the nose and glue the tail back on.
Additionally, I thought that the roll rate was pretty excessive (that's an understatement
Oh, and the setup. I saw in this thread that many of you were flying 4s and had a pretty heavy AUW. I tried to keep it light, as I only have Valuehobby's 50mm 3s EDF (Which supposedly makes 770g thrust). Also have a 3s 1300mAh battery, which seems to work great. AUW is exactly 420 grams, which puts the thrust/weight at around 1.75:1
Here's a picture of it before the maiden. Cheers!

The ailerons are very sensitive. No need to make them smaller, just set them up with less throw. If you have expo control on your transmitter, set it up to about +50 percent and it will tame it down a lot! I was out flying my RedSled Vtail Grunjet today in unexpected really nice weather. 34F but zero wind and sunny. 7 great flights on mine today. Best part is sliding off and on to our grass runway. Taxis great too! My third one is well on the way to completion. Photos to follow.
That’s definitely going to be the most beautiful Grunjet to date!! I might have to steal some of your ideas the next time I paint a Grunjet. It’s so awesome to hear that you’re enjoying it. That viper jet is sweet!
I’ve actually thought about that before haha. Pontoons would definitely be the best way to go, you wouldn’t need to make any changes to the fuselage that way.
Yesterday was heckin windy too, so I'm going to be flying quite a bit today! I already had 3 flights on my grunjet, and 1 on my MS Mustang.
Well you guys have almost convinced me to build a grunjet... 😂 Maybe at 200% with a 90mm edf on 6s?
That is by far the best looking grunjet in existence!!
agreed
You're missing some servos...
That high angle climb out was so cool! It sounds incredible!!
