I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

First rendition of removable motor mount. Rear "Puck" slips under ledge on second bulkhead, front slips in keyway on first bulkhead. Retained by a small rubber band from peg on lower chin (to be added) up over motor mount stick to create a "Weak Link".Blue tape is temp, didn't bring the correct size heat-shrink tubing.

Yahoo! Radio fits. Balances a little nose-heavy, but after covering should be within range. Plus the battery has room enough to move forward and back approx. 3/8" for fine tune.

Tailfeathers. I do believe I shall add a bit more dihedral for the rudder-elevator version.

The gear off of my old Ember. The unit shown, a geared 700mm cd rom motor(?), and a 110 mah bat. With all those stringers I went haywire with I hope it's enough. All the gear fits in the compartment forward of the LE so hopefully no additional nose weight will be needed. The radio/motor unit will be separate and removable.

I see it's going to be r/c too. What battery / motor / prop are you using?

REALLY liking that microwave forming.

Profile on the formers is trapizoidal (inverted). Makes for some bizarre lines. Can't wait to see it covered.

Spreaders, wing saddle installed. That's the reciever, ESC, and two servo brick. 2.4 ghz.

Very nice shape there, Phil.

"Box and Former"(?) style fuselage. Kinda deviated from my sketch cause it looked a bit too "Slick" compared to the wing.

Cut up some undercamber ribs, notched trailing edge, 1/8" sq balsa LE.

Maui build. Sketched up a wing and did the microwave thing again for trailing edge and tips.
