I have already finished my list and gonna wait for all of it to arrive, then I'm gonna start the testing stage.Hoping to get this bird to fly. :)

Gonna try your chute release too, but figuring out how, I guess I'll just stop by your RCG post. :)

Awesome plane...

Do you think it would take 3kg payload.  I don't need high performance, just the ability to carry 3kg.

I shall probably have to manufacture an undercarriage and have a long ground roll, but will it do it? Anyone who owns an X8 your opinion would be greatly received! Thanks

X8 carries 3kg easily, airframe empty comes in under 1.5kg if you build conservatively and my present all up weight with 2, 4s lipos, large motor putting out 3.3kg thrust, gyro, receiver, telemetry module with altitude module, camera anti vibration mount with canon S100 and fpv camera with TX-RX is just over 2.7kg and the X8 flies out of my hand
