Looking very good. What are you going to use for wheels?

[edwardModerator]

Looking good! How is the final weight coming in. I’m going to need to get a pretty accurate weight so I can do final recovery calculations. I’ll find time one weekend to stop by and look at the setup and see what we are working with.

Sorry I didn’t get involved in this one guys – looking VERY impressive. Much more complicated than the Delta II and I for one am looking forward to seeing this fly. Still on sched for MHM?

As expected I will likely be working on Sat so we’ll do the build on Sunday. Please let me know if you will be there.

Thanks!

Thanks Warren .. it is turning out to be quit a project, and learning so much along the way. We are still on target for MHM .. should be doable.

Thanks .. we’re still close to the numbers I gave you before .. maybe a bit more on the booster .. it is a beast!! Should have it assembled this weekend and can get final weights. Still some confusion over the motors so have to get that worked out. It’d be great if you could drop in .. we could use your input.
