Tom Wright 2 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well it looks right the proportions are good ,a test glide over the long grass without the U/C should tell you a lot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 yupthat's tomorrows job weather permitting. its built to your measurements. so fingers crossed all will be well. might omit the undercarriage and just hand launch this one.i will fit a folding prop to save me from breaking them on landing.

Ben B Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It's blinking terrible weather eh? If it's not chucking it down the wind' is ripping trees out of the ground.... Recent years I've been doing more flying in the winter and more building in the summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
