This weekend, I was very fortunate to pry Tank's Slick from his fingers. So far I am 110% blown away. Everything is thought out well and done for you. Almost going to fall together. Carbon fiber EVERYWHERE, even velcro one wrap for batteries, Rx, etc....receiver foam, titanium turnbuckles, aluminum hubs, real wing and stab bags, everything prehinged AND gaps sealed. I could go on and on. Ben and Andrew have outdone themselves on this one. Thanks for letting her go John, December will be here before you know it so you can get your replacement.

Anyone interested in some assembly pics? I have so far only installed the CF main and tail gears

No-one else than AJ and myself have this thing flying yet? (And Josh, RIP.)

I only have three flights since it was done in May. This is due to a combination of transport problems, bad weather and work...

All three flight are on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainNorway78

This is my first plane this size, with the 87" SHP as the largest one before this. With only 3 tail heavy flights so far, I am really looking forward to getting some more flights on this. I am currently looking for a trailer that will fit it.

I am not sure, but I think mine might be the largest electric 3D/IMAC plane so far...

Thanks. Waiting for some vinyl from ADC to complete it.
Power increases every flight as the batteries improve. I am currently at 17kW+++....

Second motortest after changing setting to reduce power:
http://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainN.../4/9pL2qDbPqw8

I desperately need a trailer for it. It was a huge hassle to get it to the field for those three flights.

There are some pictures in my thread:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1046316

This was a pre-production version, so I do not know if any changes have been made.
I used only the included hardware in my build.
