That is quite a bit! Crikey, I could build it for half of that.
Yes I was thinking could I be bothered to knock a few up to sell ha.

An F86 Sabre for sale on eBay that can be sent in the post, so more useful than most model sales on there.
Wow £102 finishing bid, That's a fair bit more than I expected it to go for.

Was an easy build Jack. The main changes were putting 1 servo in each wing for ailerons and a servo on port side for elevator. I didn't bother with a moving rudder and you'll also see from above picture that I made the rudder smaller so that I could then have a single piece elevator rather than a jointed one either side of rudder.

Well my fizza has had four x 7 minute flights now and I love it
After landing the lipos were still between 30-40% charged so could push to 8+ minute flights.This is definitely going to be staying in the boot of my car ready for the odd opportunity of a flight
Only thing to do is get a spinner to fit as I can't find one as yet.baz

Robins tip is a great one that I've employed in a few of my searches. I've got one favourited for any aeroplanes within 50miles of home and was sick of the same plans and tools coming up so done as above mentioned to delete certain results.

Wow, a month since I last done any work on the fizza. All covered, canopy & control surfaces attached and motor & servos installed.
Next is to make the control rods then install Rx, Esc and lipo to sort out CofG

Not really a PSS aircraft though
It's not a PSS model at all. But thought people who do have PSS models might also have other slope models

I'm looking for a L E GUPPY if anyone has one

Yes the c of g stated in Manuel is correct

I'd definitely put the rudder on to the same stick as the elevator especially at this time of year then you can set the throttle to where you need it and then put your hand in the your pocket where its nice and warm ha.

Been again today at 9.30am. It was a little Foggy when I first arrived but it soon cleared up with broken clouds and a light breeze. I flew my Pushycat first just to get my eye in and then maidened my ME-163.
Lovely model especially as only cost £35 in the black Friday sale

Maidened today at Blyth Valley Radio Model Club in broken clouds and light winds at 9.30am
Flew 3 batteries getting 5 minute flights each. And my first impression is I love it, Especially as I got it on Black Friday through HobbyKing for £35 incl delivery
The model comes with all servos including one for dropping U/C, Motor and ESC.baz

Managed to get to the field today for the first time in 6+ weeks. Their was about 10 members their when I first arrived at 2pm. I only managed 2 flights with my 450 heli as my fingers couldn't cope ha. Will maiden my me163 another day. I was still their until gone 4 and dark as got gassing as usual more talking than flying.

Hi Percy, jobs done. The motor I'm using comes with a mount so I used that to mark my ply. I drilled one hole and attached motor mount and then drilled the remaining three.

Hi brfc7,
I think one of the options for the Fizza was to build on an undercarriage and some small wheels - are you adding wheels or keeping as is.
Many Thanks
Wow someone out their is read this
No undercarriage been fitted Redex, Don't see the point on such a small plane when flying off a grass runway. I would possibly consider it if I had the use of a tarmac one, just for touch and goes.

Been busy again today
Cut the hole in rear of fuz for elevator servo and glued in a couple of pieces of ply on the inside to screw in to. Also cut two holes right through the wing for the aileron servos. I've used some thin card on the top of wing to cover hole so won't see it once covered. I'll glue the servos in once covered. 
Next pic shows servos installed and wires are well accessible for plugging in to rx. This was after I'd glued the wing and tail on
And finished off with some covering. Only the wings top and bottom to do and the 3 control surfaces

Tail all squared up and then had a dry fit.
baz
-
Tailplane near enough finished except a little finish sanding
Battery hatch which I made a little shorter than plan as I don't need access behind F1 as their isn't any servos in their. Ply plate holding the front and magnets holding the rear.
Motor mount glued on and since i've now received the canopy i made a start at shaping the whole fuz

Arrived this morning
Not a lot to do to get her airborne.Definatly a total steal at that price as the pre installed gear would cost more than that.

Bought one this morning
£35 delivered and it includes motor, esc, 3 servos, 2 props and is nearenough ready to fly.baz

Profiled wings and planed ailerons and elevator to allow movement last night
Waiting on the canopy arriving really now then can use that to get the correct shape of front cowl.
Also servos , motor and esc arrived so I will start installing them. I've went for the same motor as I use in my Pushycat a Turnigy 2836 1100kv spinning a Apc E 8x6 on 3s 2200mAh. This setup gives 180w @ 18 Amps and 8 minute flight times.

As above I take the time to make sure the first hole is in exactly the right place using the supplied motors cross mount and then bolt the cross mount on to the ply motor mount and drill through the other 3 holes = spot on everytime

Field Battery Charger
in All Things Model Flying
Posted
Re Transmitter - In both my Futaba FF7 and FF8 I've got 2500mah NiMh and I let them go to 5 hours use before a recharge and even then only 1200mah goes back in.
If I was worried I'd rather just take a spare fully charged battery pack to the field with me.
