Aeroworks airplanes tend to be, but they are very robust.

agreed...

my 100 has a 120 on it, feels a little heavy compared to 3dhs plane but it flies soo good. you won't notice the few ounces when you get it in the air.

Well I did not get to work on the plane Friday, but I think that I made some good progress today..

I got the Rudder glued.


I got the, control horns, servos and linkages in the elevators. Elevators are now in place on the plane as well...


Installed the Pull pull on the rudder.



Installed the tall wheel and linkages



and the last thing I did today is installed the Main gear, wheels and pants...



She is looking really good. I have to say so far this plane has gone together well...no sanding, cutting or anything. Everything fits togetther perfectly. Really happy with this plane... Hope I just did not jinks myself..lol

Got the wings ready to rock today



Unfortunately this means there will be a pause in the action till I get the engine and the last few things to finish her up,,,

I will be ordering the motor this week...

I will be starting to build my friends 3dhs 104 slick this week while waiting on the motor..

If it's like my Aeroworks Extra 300 some of the ply in the bottom of the fuse is to make a tuned pipe exit easier. On the Extra there are two hatches on the bottom. One for a can and one for a pipe.

There does seem to be more room inside this one then there is in my Pilot Edge. I'm also interested to see what your final weight comes out to be.

I agree. Love my Pilot Edge but you have to "arrange" some stuff "all up in there!" now. But it is only 16.25lbs at take off (with a can). I am thinking the weight will be real close to what the EF 88 is.( DLE 55 and pro flow my buddies is 17.5lbs at take off.) None the less it is a single seater which I like. Same covering as the 100cc. The older ones where kinda heavy at 18- 19lbs???

Looking forward to a flight report! TONIGHT!lol

Was waiting for a friend to come pick up a plane, so I had to throw together to see what she looks like....and dam love this Plane

Yeah. The 5 O' Clock shadow on its mug up front and orange and white solids look great.

Well It has been a few days since I worked on the Plane.

I got the motor (DLE61) so back to work.

Had to open the fire wall just a bit for throttle push rod and choke arm to clear.



Got the Motor installed and according to all measurements I was able to just use the stock standoffs that came with the motor for cowl clearing.



Ignition is installed and choke push rod.



Last thing that I was able to do today was get the throttle servo and push rod installed.
