Going for the 8S to start with, easily swapped to 10S JF set up later. Preparation for the paint job is on the way.
8S system to start with.
Preliminary balance check.
Big paint job on the way, starting with the TM logo.

Lot more build progress since last post, few more pics.
(Further Proto CG trials)
Going initially for 3+ Kwatt/8S power set up.
Power unit mounting.
3-4 coats of various paint to finish of the Depron.
Trim coats dying time.
Further belly stab reinforcements.
Scale Prototype comes handy to sort out CofG.
Catapult launch cg trials.
Great looking silhouette.

Now fitted with "Jet Fan 90" on 10S for further flight trials.
Variety for the next trials, Wemo90 and Jet Fan90.
Minor mount mods and ESC re-program.
Pretty nifty improvement after static check.

Certainly a different beast now after 10S upgrade, but pretty thirsty as expected so will load it up with more capacity to make it heavier to feel like flying a real jet, just love it!
10S powered beast.
Under 10S influence.
