F-22 Scratch built Rc plane

Few days ago i made this plane : http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=740049
And here is what i got. The construction of the thing is dead simple. Before i got the thing into the air i crashed it several times because the cg was way off. This is the 24 inch version. My friend made the bigger one and the cg was somewhere by the motor mount, on this one turns out it had to be much further to the nose.
 I used a 30amp ESC , a hextronik 3000kv 24 gram  motor , 6x4 prop , 1000mah 2 cell battery, HXT 9 gram servos. This kind of setup is way too weak for such a plane. To make it stay in the air i have to give more than half throttle. I guess the battery should be 3 cell or the motor kv is bit too high .  I bought every single part from hobbyking by the way.


When in the air i cant do any kind of acrobatics with such a weak thrust, also the thing is loud as hell, all the dogs start to bark around the neighbourhood when give it full throttle.


All in all its not a keeper for me with such rc gear i have for a plane right now, but it is fun to fly, it looks really awesome when passing by your head.
