Congrats!!!!

I have to ask what power set up you got? and can you show us a pic of your fuel tanks?

I had an older one of these, Same size as your but it was an older ducted fan modle with non removable wings.

I got my Turbine wavor with it, put a very heavy AMT 180 at 16.5 pounds of thrust and my weight was more in the 20 pound range. So, off of the grass it took almost the whole run way to get off, but landed like yours. (good job by the way)

I alwasy felt like mine really could use the air brake in the rear, so I could keep the power on to when landing as mine seem to keep the speed very much.

I have thought about getting one of the CMJ ones as mine died when I converted it to edf....

Also I found off grass, if I added a little more nose high than what you currently got, it would take off faster, but off concret you got no issues.
Great job mike
