Well snoop's I have been busy cutting parts by hand to facilitate throttle servo, canister, fuel dot installation and fuse bottom access cover. I will get busy making a tail wheel shim too. You put a "Bug in my ear" and boy now it's really "bugging" me . lol

It’s coming along nicely. That is going to one nice plane with low maintenance. I agree with tail wheel if you like me not all my landings are perfect and have the tail wheel hit the rudder is not a good idea it is hard on the hinges and painful to replace.

Well I have decided to give it a try and fix the plane that I was given half a fuselage and one wing panel. Will take some photos later to show what I am starting with. Going draw it all up in cad and make sure the motor, ESC and batteries fit properly. Looking at the wing I got it looks like it will take to much to fix but I do have another wing half I think will work. So for now it looks like a 20cc tail section is going to build with a set of 30cc wings, should be interesting. Looking at QQ 30cc plane I have and compared to the 20cc plane and the 20 cc was the same size except the rudder was 1/2 inch smaller so it should work. Have start and make layout.

Well took the dremmel tool out and just kept cutting the body away unit all the broken and splintered wood was removed. And the picture shows what is left of the fuselage to start with.

Finished boxing up the 55cc profile. It ships out Saturday. There was lots of other stuff that went into the box as well. Please excuse the mess in my basement.

Hopefully they can read.

Really get an idea for the size of the box when it’s in the back of my truck.
