Dean,

Would you please show us what your carbon steerable tail wheel looks like?

My hits the scales at 32.5 oz and balances at 4 1/4"
with a Torque 2818T, Airboss 45 amp, Thunder Power 2100 mah, JR 649 receiver
and eflight s75's with the rudder servo in the tail.

The battery is up against the wing tube and the rec is on the pull-pull
ruder servo rails in the rear of the fuse.

I ended up moving the motor back about an 1/8 inch, the rear of the cowl
over hangs the canopy by about 1/8" - maybe 3/16". Didn't have any problems
with the canopy blowing off.

I also have a light weight carbon steerable tail-wheel bracket that might be
adding a gram or two.

Had two nice flights today off a grass field that needed mowing - after
removing the wheel pants had no problem taking off or landing in 2 - 3" high
grass - wasn't really thick grass - early spring scruffy grass.

She flys nice, I was told the 12x6 is the better prop for this motor, the
11x7 that I have pulled it fine.
but didn't have great vertical or hover with the 11x7
- going to try a 12x6 soon....

Really fun to fly - snaps and spins great, crazy roll rate and lands nice -
what the other guys are saying is right you need to fly it all the way in
and grease it in with minimal flair. Smooth in the air with 10 - guesting to
15 in cross winds...
