too soon, missing some stuff

 

[Wayne]

Waiting for you to fill it out for me. LOL

Hopefully get a start on th manual today. As a heads up, the first thing you build is the vertical. This is rather important as you don't want to build the fuselage first.

If you jump ahead of the manual, PLEASE start by doing a light landing on all carbon fiber strips. You need to get the release agents off them for the glue to have a full grip. This is vitally important on the wing spar.

Mine arrived today. Less than 24 hours from Aloft to here. Maybe you guys can make a few extra bucks consulting with Amazon.

Mine also arrived yesterday. Great looking design. Looking forward to the instruction manual. Ready to start building.
Also nice sanders.
Thank you

 

[Wayne]

Will get the instructions going today. Plan was yesterday, but power failure caused issues for that plan.

Group build time!!

[Shoelace]

Mine arrived today. Woohoo!

 

[Warthog]

Mine too!

 

[Tahoed]

I found some appropriate Watsonville stickers!!!

 

[Wayne]

Oh boy.. That will be interesting.

 

[Wayne]

Takes so much longer to do a build when taking photos and writing it up. LOL I think I'll have the fuselage and wing done tomorrow and hopefully posted up.. but need to do some normal work too. Let me know if you all run into any concerns. This has been a lot of fun.. I started having a little fun with the build log.

Any recommendations for a electric motor, speed controller amps, battery and prop?
thanks Bill

 

[Wayne]

Ahh, this we have not yet tested. I'll make this new one an electric and show you what ended up working well.
