Nice looking bird Cameron, shame about the CoG. Bet it could be a great flying when you sort that out.

Its cool Tony, the dodgy flying at the end was mostly me I think, CG can't be far off and I've heard its not quite as critical on this plane.
Got the 3s battery's today, waiting for the props now.

nice one, it does look like its always flying tail heavy. when you moved the lipo forward in the vid and flew it, did it slip back as it looked ok for a few seconds then went tail heavy again.... come on Cam get it sorted mate...lmao

Despite the "tail heaviness", I think you did a fantastic job flying that plane! Nice job! Can you move the battery forward any more or can you remove any weight from the tail? If you can get the plane to fly less "tail heavy", the aileron twitchiness should be lesser.

Lol Tony, I'm on it. That erratic flying at the end was mostly me trying to hover the plane, lol. Its still not quite right tho.
Thanks Derek Ill keep trying. Ill keep moving the battery forward, I don't see a way to remove tail weight but will keep that in mind.
More videos to follow.

It does look like hard work to keep it airborne... I'm sure you will sus it out Cam...

the funny thing is.....after watching your flight video....I'm seriously thinking about starting the build of my own. That would mean that I'd have to push back the completion of my 74" 3D plane....again, lol. It just never ends in my workshop, lol.
