JT,

Sorry, I didn't get back to ya, sooner, computer problems:( The kit is $40 got it from Sheldon's Hobby (http://www.btown.com/sheldons/)

The plane on the top is not mine:)

Here's my E-version. Ready?:)

The kit consist of a few pieces of wood, not a whole lot (A good thing) and it's very easy to build per. plan.

The fuse is configured by gluing the doublers in to a printed stock balsa sheet (I made my doublers 1/16" sheet), followed by 1/8"sq. formers.

Bulkheads are then glued in place and the fuse is then traced away from the balsa sheet.

Stabilizers are traced off the stock sheet, as well, as the ribs #1. Not a hard thing to do, I thought it was going to be hard, but to my surprise it took me 5 min. to trace away (cut) all of the necessary parts:)

Everything is traced away. I proceeded to gluing the fuse together:) by following the plan. This I find to be the easiest of the construction, as well, as the wings:)

The trick lies in experience;)

I got caught up in the construction of the wings, admiring the simplicity of the airplane. 15min, of constructing it, I was done:)

Motor Mount.

I was gonna build a motor mount, but instead, since I have an extra nylon motor mount, that I love to use in all of my converted airplanes. I thought, I would just stick to them. (This stuff in great unbreakable)


I will be flying her w/ a Mega Brushless motor 5T, 7x5 prop. and 12 HeCells battery.:) this should be a rocket, instead of a plane:)

Last but not the least, is the finish product. I have put the trims yet, I find it to be the hardest part, because in my case I want to be different, but I think, I finally figured out the color trims, that I like:)

For now, let's call her Snow;)

Nice airplane Antonio!

That ought to be a really nice flyer with the mega!:)

Those mounts can be broken though, I've destroyed them before. You just haven't crashed hard enough yet.;)

One of these days try flying C/L fast combat, everythings breakable.:D
