This is a gorgeous build Michael. Super great.

Definitely not rubbish!

Michael

Thanks, Simon.

A lot of wires run through the wings: rudders, elevator, ailerons, throttles, retracts, and power to the speed-controls and motors (no flaps).

Wing top sheeting (strips) commenced, with most wiring in place.

Ailerons constructed and wing-top sheeted.

Cowls for the motors/booms.

They look simple, but construction took about 3 hours.

Main construction is finished. Next, sand and prepare for covering.

Assembled. Still to do: linkages, battery tray, programming, decals, trim, and balancing. Total projected weight approx. 1500 grams, or 3ΒΌ pounds.

Thanks, guys.

Model is finished! Now we wait for better flying conditions.

Landing gear wrapped in paper straws and masking tape, and painted white.

I am happy to report that the maiden flight, and three subsequent flights, went very well!

They were nice smooth flights at low and medium speeds, easy take-offs, a few rolls and loops, and gentle landings.
