56" Gentle Lady Evo - Major project creep
- Thread starter Wayne
- Start date
My fuselage is done and the servos/linkage are installed, motor and esc are installed as well

As a quick update we are getting closer to releasing the kits. Just a little more laser cutting and some final touches. Manual is coming together and can be seen here:
