So The Maiden of the Hotliner Today revealed a couple of issues,
Major issue was it was tail heavy even though my cog line looked ok, so i was flying on the edge of the seat and soon as i took power off to land it was nose up.
Image below of how much elevator down i had to keep it level when power on.
I manage to get it down, but silly me should have left the retracts closed so to belly land and ripped the retract off on a very hard landing.
Also i should have clear glossed the whole plane before the maiden flight as my water decals where ripping off.
Anyway got home fixed up decals with some new etc and gave it a good coat of clear gloss all over.
Fixed the retract by soldering the connections back on and reglued the retracts in.
Now the only issue i have now is adding weight to the nose to compensate for the heavy alloy edf weight, the best thing would be to added the weight with extra battery.
So i flew with the Turnigy Graphene 6s 571 grams, the only other battery i have is a 4500 zippy 6s which ways a 708 grams which i guess is 130 plus grams of extra weight to the front.
But i'm not sure how i will go fitting the battery in this is what i'm going to see Tonight.
Otherwise i go back to the original idea and use my 12 blade 70mm Changesun edf and 4s setup, which means i need to buy a 4s 4000ma plus battery or trial test on 5s lipo and see how the amps and edf go.
I guess on the 4s setup it will be lighter plane.
Decisions
Edit............. so i cut a little bit of foam out and got the 4500ma 6s zippy in and lid closes.
Lets hope it does not fly like a Brick Now and No Power
