My new GM 18 x 20 3 bladed prop came in today. A beautiful crafted prop, hope it delivers just as good as it looks. Just waiting for weather now......
Need to get some time flying my new plane soon hopefully, but the Norwegian winter doesnt opens much flying time Patience, patience

Maiden flight done.......
Not a very big success as it was very tail heavy. I had not done my homework properly obvious Nevertheless, I got it down in one piece at least, sometimes snow is good to have. A tail heavy plane never flies well, so further comments on this birds flying capability is not possible.
One thing though, the GM 18 x 21 on 6S and 1512/1.5D did not reveal any difficulties to get airborn. Plenty power and did throw the plane myself

Checking CG a little more specific afterwards, it was beyond the 120mm advised by Baudis as maximum.

Its now adjusted to approx 112mm from LE and ready for new maiden,

Just waiting weather allowing flying. It is a beautiful plane and now I have got more used to the size too......

Some more pictures.Seems like the whole fuse is having full carbon reinforcement. May need to get the antenna out of the fuse then as it may not be 2.4 friendly.

Big C wing shown with "littlebrother" Ascot wing in one of the views.

The Big Ceres have arrived. Wow, its beautiful. Very nice build from Baudis with RDS wings.
Empty weight ended at 2750g (with finished wings incl servos).

More photos as the Big C going towards completion.
