Started on this lumber yard this weekend. The wing span is 64 inches and Its going to be powered by a 20cc gas engine and have working flaps and retracs. Still deciding on a scheme ,leaning towards the AVG one as pictured but if I go that route I'll have to come up with something better than the kit supplied markings. May just use them as a stencil/guide and paint the markings on. Thats a long way off so I've got plenty of time to think it over. The kit has some good hardware and some not so good, I'll get into that as it comes into play later in the build. Heres the basics
The cowls and complex curved parts are abs plastic and very thin,they will be needing some beefing up to hold up to the vibrations of the gas engine
The plans are full size and printed on 2 sheets,very nice!
Sorted thru all the parts and missing some balsa bits,quick trip the the local hobby store sorted that.
Unlike the plastic kits that usually start in the office this has you building the tail feathers first.
Pretty simple so far and the ribs have tabs on them that keep it warp free,these will be sanded off before sheeting of course. Top sheeting in place,next the bottom side and then on to the Rudder.
