I'll probably do something like that then. I should have everything but the top wing finished this evening. Basically, my goal is maiden saturday. I have a sunny sky 2217/1300kv that came off the airloader which I may use, a unknown 2217 sunnysky, and my orange generic one.

Ok, another question, as I am printing out the struts, I realized that to have the top wing detachable, I would need to leave one end unglued, I am assuming that would be the top end right? Also, the struts are more for looks than anything else I am assuming, since the top wing will be anchored and the bottom wing is affixed on.
Also, a 3536 is in fact too heavy, I checked, and you knew I would.

Push the tabs through the slots in the wing and then push a small piece of 3mm skewer through the hole to hold them in place. Easy assembly & disassembly - no speeding car required.

This thing is going to be so delightfully white trashy. I also just now noticed the bottom wing is held on with rubber bands and not glued on. Oh well.

I think it looks kind of cool in an ice cream sherbet kind of way!

This looks absurd. Some geometric patterns and it's art deco

This looks absurd. You should have no problem with keeping track of orientation LOL! It's not that bad, stick some windows on there and you're good to go.

This looks absurd. read your post and actually did chuckle out loud.... is that COL instead of LOL? either way it's looking.... unique 😆. you've got me beat and I'm feeling rather ashamed that I haven't build a darned thing in weeks. I did finally clean off the bench and work on a ft cub for a friend wanting to get back in to flying after a 25 year hiatus. I could probably have picked a better one but I had the plans on fb destined for my kids so.... I've said it for weeks now... "maybe tonight...."
