I would give it some time to ensure it works as well as they think it does.
But this beauty has been on my mind for quite some time. I will give it until we see what the FAA is going to do to us, if we stay relatively as we are I will get it.

Nice looking biplane, do you really think that the FAA would totally destroy the hobby, surely they are not that stupid there is to much money involved.

Saw this last night on that other site. Not the same, but a much better price. :)

All the servos being in the center of the fuse at the cg is what they are promoting as extra special. I personally don't think the linkage will stand up but rather fail in short time.

I sincerely don't think the FAA is going to do much towards us but nothing is off the table. But having so many with interest in the discussions that are well funded us poor little hobbyist are pretty much left in the cold. In this regard the AMA is useless as they did not push for separation from the beginning but rather tried to be all inclusive. The AMA clearly failed in their mission to promote model aeronautics by trying to include a group that are as far from modeling as it can get. If my current clubs did not require AMA for membership I would drop it like a hot coal!!
So now we are lumped in with sUAS and every stake holder is out to claim as much airspace as they can get. Does anyone think the AMA can financially or argument ably compete with the like's of the UPS, FedEx, and every municipality that wants to operate remotely over our heads?

I do not know it works in the USA but our big distinction is that we fly with in line of sight and that I believe makes us different in our ruling.

Well boys the canopy is glued down and trimmed it is built except for cowl and mounting the engine, which I will do when I buy a DA120 for it. The building and glueing is done. Just need to paint some small parts and cover it which will happen after the engine and cowl are installed. I may tinker with the odd thing on it. What I need is buddy that just lives down the road With a DA120 so I can finish the plane.
