Production DHC-2 Beaver kit. Price is $26.99, not bad for a laser cut kit. |

Turned out nose heavy but still under 30 grams with bb shot in tail. Lots of lift so needed severe down and right thrust. Old stock Chart Pak tape control outlines peeling off in cold weather. Contest it was to be flown in on Sunday was rained out which is OK since I need some fresh rubber. Flying on scavenged motor. |

Unfortunately, they mowed all the tall grass around the edge of the park, so I haven't found a safe place to test glide and trim it yet. |

Frames being covered, wet, with Esaki tissue. The color scheme is right off the box cover. The bottom of the fuselage is covered with blue tissue. The blue side flashes will be added, dry, as trim after the fuselage has it's first Krylon misting. The blue tissue would turn green with the yellow under it if applied wet. Then the fuselage will get another Krylon misting. Yes, the struts are covered with tissue. |
