Much obliged to you folks for the support. The original purpose of this thread was to highlight strengths and weaknesses of the FT Me-262. I think we've started to do that. I hope future builders watch for that laser cut hole in the middle of the center spar WS5.
I took it out this afternoon and it flew great. I do run it close to full out and haven't tried any maneuvers yet. However, it's SO BIG and that cool jet noise! It even survived my crappy landing where I bounced it on the nacelles. I don't know diddly about flying EDFs, but I learned this afternoon they do take a while to slow down for landing.
