| I started around June thinking that I would have plenty of time, but work got in the way for two months so I found myself doing a lot of work in the last few days and right up till 11pm when I stopped working so I could clean up and take photos. Maybe next year I'll start before June just in case I need the time. |

| Beautiful looking model and it flies too. Nine minutes before the end of the Challenge is cutting it a little close, but you made it. This year it was a real challenge. I hope you had fun with it. |

| Thanks guys, the prop is for display only. For flying I have been using a 7x5 APC prop but am going to try 8" props with a 2S battery when I get the opportunity. |

| Beautiful Steve. Is that the prop you are flying with? |

The other photo for the "G challenge", this is the cleanest my desk has been all year. |

One of the pictures submitted for the contest. I am pleased with the results, but next year I really must give myself more time to spend on the details so that I won't feel so rushed. |

| Thanks, hopefully the Guillow's judges will agree with you. |

| Looks fine to me! |

| No power tools here save my dremel, but then I am only using balsa and not a hard wood that is actually hard. |

Ready for more sanding, sealing, finish sanding, and paint. Hopefully I can get it finished in time and it will look close enough to the real deal. |

| I use a small belt sander. It usually takes from 1 to 2 hrs. |

| Made two photocopies and glue-sticked them to the wood sticks. Most of the roughage around the edges was cut off with a knife and now to do some dremel work. Thanks for the tips guys, this is not a task I am familiar with. |

| Hic-cup. Cut out the protos. Then a glue stick, a dremel, and assorted grades of sandpaper. You've built a beauty this far, so don't fret it now. Oh, BTW......more like 6 Coronas. |

| Hopefully a diet coke will work just as well. I warmed up by making the aerial post, I guess it is time to quit stalling and just make shavings and sawdust. |

| Grab a Corona and start carving! ;-{) |
