Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

Dang dude, that thing is really coming along nicely. Very sweet if I may say so? Wanna do some building for me? LOL....

Realy like the lines of the plane, super tough looking, time to get your hands dirty on this one again!  Thinking the other planes are gonna collect a whole lotta dust when this one maidens. Nice work , very nice indeed.

Wow...!!! Talk about nice!! Very impressive work. Watching it all come together is a real pleasure.

Thanks guys!

I got the airplane onto the workbench last night a starred at it trying to figure out how I want to sheet/plank the area where the vertical stab turtle deck and fuse all meet, and all I can say is AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!  It's times like this I wish I hadn't put form ahead of function, but form is what this airplane is all about. I can see lots of very narrow strips of balsawood in my future. With any luck I'll have some new photos in a couple of days.

I am sure it will turn out perfect. That area is the hardest part of any build I have done. It will be worth it in the end though.

Good luck, I'm sure it will come together.     The rest of that planking has me simply amazed.

Since the pictures went away when the site was updated, I'll upload them again.
