SAB Avio Lizard with 3D-printed landing gear - grass take-off and landing

I have bought a used SAB Lizard. It included the landing gear from SAB.
It is solid, but stupidly heavy, 780g including brakes.
So, I decided to make my own 3D printed landing gear. After 30+ iterations it is ready. Total weight is only around 300g and it can handle our rough grass field without a problem.

Nice short takeoff. How mich thrust do you have?

[@adamtrzaskowski3901]

Probably around 1:1 thrust to weight at start, I did not measure. It has a 128mm fan, an extra cheater hole and a shorter EDF canopy - I optimised for static thrust. Flying weight is ca. 7kg

@@adamtrzaskowski3901 thanks 👍 Build my lizard with a Kingtech K65G4, take off weight arround 7,4-7,5kg with 2 Liters of fuel. First flight in the next days.
I was suprised with your extrem short take of run particularly on that runway!
Did you use the CG from the manual?

@@DrEvil-yx4vr Yes, mine balances on the wind root, as per manual. I might move it a bit back later on, but not by much.
EDF go from 0 to 100% power much faster then turbines - this would be the main reason for the short takeoff, I think.

@@adamtrzaskowski3901 That's the first video with a short takeoff run. The Most videos I have seen, they run and run and run. I have 200m very short cut gras and a 40m long rubber runway. If I seee your video, I will try direct on the rubber strip!
