Well mine is not too far from a maiden. Doing a 4 channel + flaps. Just need to get the balance figured out. I'm not sure what it is, but anytime I build any of these FT or foamboard planes, they always end up tail heavy and I have to add nose weight. Shrubby is no exception. Battery is as far forward as it will go inside the fuse/battery tray. At this stage, I'm thinking of cutting the front part of the nose underneath the power pod and sticking the battery there to help with balance. Anybody else have that with their Shrubsmacker?
Something I will have to admit...I'm not sure if it was just a run of bad luck, but this was just one of my sloppiest builds to date. Overcutting, patching, crooked this or that, just bad all around IMO. Sometimes I just accept its faults and move on...on the Shrubby I feel kinda embarrassed I built it so terribly. Maybe someday I can build a somewhat better looking one @Grifflyer ! Oh well, crap happens. Who knows it may fly like a dream!
