Nutball..!

10 oz. Holy $#!%

What size wire is your gear?

Gear wire is light and bendy...but does support the model...

In post #35 of Goldguy's RCG thread he says,,,,

"Here's an example (of wing loading) for a 20 incher......
10 X 10 X 3.1415 = 314.15
314.15 divided by 144 = 2.18 sq. ft.
9 ounces divide by 2.18 sq. ft. gives you a wing loading of 4.13 ounces per square feet, which would be about perfect."

..so considering the 900mah size pack my weight is close...i'm not concerned y-e-t..!

Later Edit...with NO battery it's 8ozs even....so i'm in the ballpark. I tried a 3S 460mah..the watts went to 117 with the 8/6 prop..which comes out to 197 watts per pound..!

Update...the 20 inch Nutball was a winner, especially with the 900mah 2S pack. With a smaller pack it was tail heavy.
It obviously needed the 5 degrees right thrust that was recommended in the plan, along with 2 degrees downthrust.

It's quite amazing how these things perform...I'll try to get some video next time out.

The one thing that is importent is balance..make sure the CG is correct.
