That's a big controller!Nice plane.I used to fly CL with a Fox 35 back in the 50's. Tried RC a few years ago, but it just didn't take. Good luck.

I only need 4 channels to fly this bird, try to find one of those, HA |

tried to fly last fall, batteries no good. got in touch with local RC club and found out 'NO ONE' flies gas planes anymore. they recommend buying a new or refurbished controller. At least 12 channels or more so I can expand in future,

Marlin, take a peek at this big fella. The green and brown is really neat, but in your mind's eye make it beige. I like the dark brown striping as well... |

Did this big guy ever fly? |

I'm happy with the looks, but its heavy. We will see if four loops of 3/16 rubber will be enough to drive the over sized prop |

balance it on the spar |

I think I will fill in the ends of the rudder and elevators with the black esaki after flight tests |

thanks DD, we will see how it flys. I am concerned about having to add so much nose weight (64gm) the plans did not indicate where the CG is so I guessed that it should be between the wings. I added a retractable loop hooked to there then balanced to level. A crap shoot at best so time will tell if I built a flier or a lawn dart |

The skies are safe, it's what's on the ground that might be at risk. You've done a great job and it certainly looks as if it will fly with that big wing! |

tore off landing gear when getting ready to take baby pictures. I can fix that! |

All done except minor repair. . .the skies are no longer safe. It weights 261 grams not balanced and 64 more grams to balance it. |

Excellent craftsmanship. It should be a nice flyer with the long wing span. |

not too windy for outdoor shots |

she is starting to get heavy. fuse, tail, motor and prop weigh 5.2 oz. wings add 1.5 oz. each. still need struts and windows. I'm thinking @ 10 ozs. before balancing |

wings done |
