    Thank you Tim nice to get a compliment like that from someone I look up to in the Model building world, the clear covering really does this model justice, I think your design work needs to stand out the only thing that I didn't think about was the fact that I had written the numbers and lettering on the ribs and wing parts.. so they can be seen.. .. I just hope that the craft work I have done is up to the scratch of being shown.. also i have been watching your builds and a few others. and been trying to learn some new techniques that I have put into this model that I didn't know before making the original.. Thanks again Tim Regards Adrian

    thank you Steve .. and to your request anytime mate forgot to add I weighed her in today with out wheels and elec's 185g think in oz that about 6.5oz not to bad fully covered was thinking she would be a litlle more 7-8 oz but seems to be on a good diet Regards Adrian

    well test fitted the tail last night and fitted a windscreen bar then this morning fitted the windscreen so taken some more pictures let me know what you think .. I don't think she looks to bad but like other poeple's judgement also plucked up the courage to glide test this morning so with a little push away she glided about 15ft levelled out with a perfect belly landing.. very happy indeed

    well i couldn't sleep so have made a new tail end for the Pix-E as wasn't happy with the old one, So now its setting and looking a little better than before. later today i will cover it and then i think it will be ready for fitting the push rods .. looking forward to the fitting out of the electrics and seeing everything come together, have to say I'm much happier with this than my first one that i built. more pictures to follow this afternoon.. bed calling as its now 3:10 am and the old eyes dropping Regards Adrian

    Good evening Ian like the set up i think i have links to them on page 3 of this post ... prices work out around the £25 delivered .. i know I'm happy with them. sounds like you have been doing well then from what you have written when the pics starting to pop up keep up the great work the way your going you will have this sorted in the next few days not good on having wing warp i would like that i did notice when i was coving the first model that you get some depending on heat of the covering.. so that's also a reason that i have added these into this one.. hope that what you have found on this page has been of some help.. the people that have been helping me i couldn't ask for more.. they have been a big help well i look forward to seeing some pictures of your build progress Regards Adrian.

    thanks Tim wasnt sure the colours would go but they fell out the cupboard the other day together out of the 20 so rolls i have and they just blended .... dont know about the design of the colours together but its not my strong point Regards Adrian

    thank you Ian Merry Christmas to you .. Christmas was pretty good thank you .. just a relax day with partner and her family.. hope that your day was good. thank you for your comments / question.. those struts are there for structural rigidity I wasn't happy with the strength of the wing as it flexes a little when not covered so wasn't taking any chances on this happening when covered .. its made this a pretty solid model now.. (where the idea come from ) Well I see a model with them a few years back just as a little strength for the first 3 ribs the person said that it stops twisting of the wings and helps take the pressure off the root rib ... don't take my word for it. as i cant say its proven till i have tried it. I now like the look of it to now I have clear covering on the wings regards Adrian
