The range as measured in a remote New Zealand place by an Youtuber was 2.3 kms for an unmodified FS i6. 

I like your antenna modification looks, however I wonder what was the benefit.

Link to that video is below where 2.3 kms range was tested.

I see now. Misunderstood the photo above.

But you should be able to enjoy it. The difference between a high and low wing loading, assuming both are were trimmed well is the sink rate. Heavier models do not climb as high as the lighter model. Do let us know as to how it did.

30 gms several steps before completion.

44 gms !
With cabin glazing, undercarriage, 5gm rubber and 5gms lead in the nose.

So the problem is not OOS, but whether it'll fly at all  :banghead:

That is very good weight using a bit heavy lumber. Yet 30 grams/ 66 square inches puts you at a descent 0.45
grams per square inch, quite good. Once blessed by the thermals gods, your model can easily be OOS. From my experience, most E20 models are about 30 grams at 70 square inch wing, and have gone OOS. 

Yes, neat way to adjust the wing incidence.

Wishing you the best for your trim and flight sessions. Let us know how it it all turned out as the model is beautifully crafted.

Quote from: Free Flight on February 05, 2025, 07:02:52 AMWonderful creation. In my opinion, you achieved a respectable AUW weight. I don't see a DT attached yet. Highly recommend it for your latest creation.

PS : Looks like you have fixed the stab. Any built in incidence or you have a gap to adjust incidence with scraps?

Thanks Manav.
No need for DT as it isn't going to climb like your catapult gliders!
Too heavy for its 22" span 66sqin wing, 3.4oz/sqft.
Didn't have 1/16 sheet, only 1 & 2mm (actually 1/20 and 1/10")
I used the 1/10" to cut strips from.
Realised later that 1/10sq is 2.5 times 1/16sq.
And my balsa is 9oz/cft, not 6!

Fixed stab, but wing is on 2mm runners that can be sanded for incidence adjustment. Neat idea, no?
