Greg you are doing fine, just tell everyone that you built a F 1 Toni, so this little plane will be a easy build.
I wouldn't put anymore pictures of your build on, keep the secrets to yourself, just remember you are pylon racing, you don't tell anyone a thing!!!

no worries ... I'd encourage others to build there own; heck I'll even share the link to the fuse plans:

Well I'm not brave enough to be an ice pilot today; so i got some building done instead. I'll start shaping the fuselage tomorrow

doh no balsa sheeting for the wings so I'll continue round off the nose some more.

Also made some hatches.

Sheeting done on the wings and it looks good for my first try. Still have some sanding to do on the wings before i can start fiber-glassing but she's slowly coming along.

BTW sorry no beer bottles ...so i used an epoxy glue bottle instead.

These two models are looking fast enough to make me reconsider my secret decision I haven't made yet on what I'm going to race next season.
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

hand some time on my hands today; so i applied the second coat of polyurethane

still more work to do ;)

no worries I'd be lucky to have two or three things running at the same time. In fact i need more outlets to power all the stuff i need to build.
