Looks great Michael.
Here is your routine to practice "classic pattern". This plane should fly this schedule very nicely!

I think this thread is all a ruse: Michael will turn up with a finished E Flite Leader!!!

Hey Ed,

Thanks so much for posting the great GBR/CAA Clubman Schedule (F3A aerobatic manoeuvre descriptions). This would be a super addition to a fun fly, and would help the LHS sell more planes.

Imagine doing this in formation!!

Here is a link to their web site: http://www.gbrcaa.org/clubmanmansch.htm

Detailed schedule calling card and ribbon drawings are here: http://www.gbrcaa.org/Schedules/Call_Cards_Clubman_2015.pdf

Their practice simulation video is here: http://www.gbrcaa.org/sportsmanschedulevideo.html

Cheers! Andy

Sorry to derail from michael's beautiful build but just wanted to encourage anyone who has never tried flying any of the routines be it IMAC or F3A based I would highly recommend they give it a shot or ten. Positioning the airplane and flying straight lines really teaches you to fly to a new level.

Derailment over

I will definitely try to fly that pattern.

I've started covering. 2-servo modification shown.

More work on the wing, and a wing tip.

Michael · January 14, 2018, 02:41:18 PM

More covering.

Canopy, masked and spray-painted (at work).

That looks beautiful! I never thought to do it that way. I always hand brush.
