I didn't get to do it.... Full scale traffic got in the way, sometimes living on an airport is awesome, sometimes it sucks azz. lol

So we're gonna try it again tomorrow on the lunch break.

Nope, Trueworthy 35%

I will probably be in on that project! I just won't be able to start it until after an upcoming deployment. I will be expecting to see a build thread or 4 to give me a little bit of reading while I am gone. That will give me even more motivation to join in

The knees are like jelly but it's done!!! All I can say is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!

I can't believe I didn't put a 120 on it to begin with. Final weight is 34.5 lbs, and at that weight it jumped in the air and was climbing like a home sick angel. Very scale like power, the Falcon 29x9W is perfect, even makes a little noise too!! (I'm not an IMAC guy so I like noise )

Just need to do a little bit of tweaking on the rig, but with the smaller engine this thing is going to be a BLAST!!

needless to say, i vote

thanks @Bipeguy03 for the info. Is the 35% a true 100cc or is it really 110 or 120? I'd think 75" is actually pretty good at 100cc, no? does anyone cut a kit for it? i've been considering a major plans/kit build for a while now, specifically a Pancoast 96" Grumman Duck but I'm afraid if I start it I'll never finish it. precisioncutkits.com does a short and full kit for it.

a nice S1-11 would be nice too but an entirely different vibe!

Here ya go Bart. This should peak your interest in a Duck
