Hi Joe
LOL, 1950's style :-)
Just about got it together , a couple minor things that need a bit of "adjustment" , but nothing serious so far .
Cheers John

Hi Mark
"Baby" weighs in at 24.5 kgs - 53.9 lbs , not too bad <4 lbs - 7.8% over my target of 50 lbs , I'm happy with that .
Now all its gotta do is produce 250 lbs of thrust ;-)
Looks like my comp clearance is a tad close , might need to reduce the thickness of the ~10mm spacer behind the comp by ~0.3 mm
Just waiting for the camera battery to be charged up for "first pics" of the new offspring, she's looking good , but then every parent thinks their newborn is beautiful :-)
Cheers John

Hi Mark Nope , its going to be mounted through 4 of the comp cover screws and probably a support at the rear that will also help with the weight of the A/B Cheers John
