One skin to go, I'm liking the wheels a bit better Honestly when it's all built they'll look natural.

yeah its more of a weight issue , will have to see how it balances with the wing on. I put the tail servos way back to compensate for extra weight up front so we'll have to see

Wings are done, slats are installed and pushrods and control horns are in. I made the ailerons be taking a strip of foamboard and removing the paper from the top side , then sanded to shape and then reapplied the paper using spray adhesive. Hinges are just handcut strips of that typical plastic that everything gets packaged in, I find they work well. I have a few pieces of wood that I need to paint black, a piece of skin behind the wing and get the front end closed up tonight, Hopefully I can start putting a clear coat on this tomorrow night www.amazon.ca/photos/share/Z6Lcq0NXzsNE00MheWz6MiC4ReQ8OPXCawokLZvIKF3

4 inch wheels came today, sticking with the 5's . LOL. Just working on seams tonight, front end is done, painting is done other than spinner, and Bart got his designation decals tonight. All in all seams aren't too bad so I should be able to get them done up tonight so that I can set the tail feathers in permanently and get them hooked up. www.amazon.ca/photos/share/0f8ZUGToWMqilIfbwInZWkkZe5aFf8gssCUHmEltL2R

I really need to complete the expedition for the remains of that kaddy of yours I built. I think I located it, but I need to do another flyover to make sure, I need to recover the big ole wheels on it. Not sure how the rest of the electronics faired.
