I might have to. I'll know better once I get the motor in. I think the battery is going to end up right on the cg line

Anyone interested in a refined Javelin V2? That picture I sent a few posts up. I have a few ideas to make it easier to build and balance.
I would build one!

One motor arrived today for the Mini Mossie, I got two packages but the other one was a servo reverser I forgot I ordered.
They're a bit funky. I have two options, the first is to make mine not swappable and build the power pod around this particular motor, the final plans will be swappable of course. The second option is to ream out the prop hub so it screws directly to the motor. They came with spares so I can risk the second and still have a prop.

Better idea- I'll just move the power pod back a bit on mine so the spinner lines up with the edge of the nacelle. Minimal changes to the design that way.

Its weird how they have such a huge motor shaft

It's part of the prop mount, the prop screws into the shaft and that screws into the motor. It's weird but I can make it work.

getting there. 30" wingspan weighing in at 380g with a 1550 3s. was going to use 9g servos for the h and v, but might switch to 3.7g. cg surprisingly balances out well with a 2208 1350kv motor and planning to put the esc inside the bottom of the cowl (battery is pretty close to centered on the cg). still a few tweaks to the patterns but should be ready to crash...er... maiden her if the weather cooperates this week. was lazy and just glued the wings without checking the dihedral angle. I'm thinking they're a bit flat....
if the weather doesn't work out I'll probably get bored and paint it 😆

I was curious if it'd work. it turned out not bad 😆 learning a lot on the plans and with the late end date I just might get the bv141 done too! I just need to do that one before major revisions on the p36
