I’m going to maiden my jet and RV-7 today. is this weather ok?

What should I do? I just bought this FPV setup today but when I was unplugging the battery, the battery lead and antenna came off. What can I do?

Getting ready to fly my new EDF jet!

This is V2 of my EDF.

Stats:

• WCL of 17.66
• Wingspan of 660 mm
• 427 gram weight
• 50mm EDF with 770 g of thrust
• full span flaps + slats
• 3s 2200 mAh battery

Maiden soon! wind was too heavy for today (17 kts gusting 23)

This is V2 of my barely flying EDF. hopefully with these modifications she’ll ‘fly’ a bit better.

Specs:

• 423 grams
• 650 mm wingspan
• 50mm EDF with 770g of thrust
• 5 9g servos
• 2200 mAh 3s lipo
• FLYSKY radio and receiver
• Wing cube loading of 12.04 (last one had a wing cube loading of 31.74)
• Full, wing length flaps

Maiden on Sunday, May 3rd ~2:30 pm if the weather is ok.

To everyone who said it wouldn’t fly, take a look at de Havilland Comet, the V-173, the F4 Phantom, the V-22, heck, even the Wright Flyer. Those aircraft were believed to be failure, littered with what were thought to be problem, yet they weren’t, but innovation.

To those who said ‘good luck’ your contributions were beyond what I would have hoped for. Thank you.

Does anyone have any tips before the maiden? it’s a 3s 2200 mAh powering a 50mm EDF. the jet has a wingspan of about 800mm and weighs about 290g.

All tips are appreciate, this is also my first EDF build.
