| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:25 |  | | Views : 1344 | | All of the bones weigh in at 5.6 oz. Not included is the radio, landing gear, covering, plastics, and the part of the fuse that extends below the wing. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:23 |  | | Views : 1227 | | Tailfeathers ready to be sanded and covered. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:23 |  | | Views : 1123 | | The lower "hs3" part in the picture was not notched on the end, but the other part served as a pattern to correct the error. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:21 |  | | Views : 1144 | | Wing skeleton ready for sanding and covering. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 18:06 |  | | Views : 1033 | | This picture illustrates how tight the joints on this plane are. There is no glue in the outer wing sections and no sanding was required to obtain a proper fit. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 17:01 |  | | Views : 1107 | | Wing center section is complete (sans flight gear and top front spar). |

| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 07-Mar-08 15:46 |  | | Views : 964 | | I have been weighing my battery options. The KP-01 motor needs 3.6 volts while the RC receiver will need 4.8-6 volts. The LiPo is 4.4g, NiCd pack is 24.8 g, and NiMh pack is 34.1g. I either need to use two battery packs build a regulator for the motor. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 06-Mar-08 13:01 |  | | Views : 898 | | Made in China? Nope, soldered right here in the USA with pride and not quite enough solder (note the orange wire). It's a Pixie-7P that I was going to use to provide some sort of motor control when I convert the One Nite 28 to electric RC. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 06-Mar-08 05:00 |  | | Views : 1203 | | Center section of the wing almost done. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 06-Mar-08 04:58 |  | | Views : 1323 | | Fuselage with motor, battery, and a pair of servos. Weight is already at 118.3 grams (4.17 oz). |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 05-Mar-08 23:53 |  | | Views : 1181 | | Fuselage halves have been glued together. Weight is 22.6 grams. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 05-Mar-08 04:27 |  | | Views : 1164 | | Loving those laser cut stringers. The formers are fragile (before stringers are added) but all of the parts just fall into place and every joint is snug. |
