David,
I'll toss my two pence in on the weight question . . .
I’m gonna guess that anything under 40 lbs will be just fine on your Tripehound – so long as you’ve got the CG correct.
Del’s on it’s first flight, at something around 33 lbs, needed more down trim than available, so I kept backing off the power to keep from climbing too much – ended up puttering around the pattern at no more than half power. And like he says, at around 35 lbs it doesn’t even break a sweat.
Just make sure of the Center of Gravity, and you’ll be fine.
Looking very much forward to a successful test flight report.
Very truly yours,
Lee McD
