Ok Thanks. Does anyone have the updated CG position? Some who are flying the drake say the recommended CG makes the plane quite nose heavy. Some information on this is greatly appreciated.

I did not cut the tail pipe. The front block is around 20mm. This depends on your turbine

Hi,

What method did you use to center the tail pipe? I also noticed you used wooden blocks for support both under the bellmouth and at the rear. Could you please let me know what thickness those blocks are? Did you have to cut the tail pipe to get the recommended clearance from the vector nozzle? Any information would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ak

I removed the brakes from the main control box and hooked them up to the supplied brake board. They are proportional now.

I just unplug the battery after each flight. I do not use switches in my jets.

Re: SAB Avio Drake Jet build thread

did you figure out a way to see if the retract controller could power down, or did you just add a switch?

That's the purpose of the 25 posts, that we get to know you and unfortunately, the only thing we were able to learn so far is that you are post padding.
