At the moment I am trying a new expeiment. I am using the pilot and gun plastic sheet as a mold for making them out of celluclay (instant paper mache'). It's taking for ever to dry but I am hoping they will come out nice enough for "flying details".

I also got rid of the wing droop, a slight rigging adjustment and... perfect. I think I'll do some rigging on the tail, it seems a bit off as well.

The total weight with battery is 10 oz. I have a 200 speed motor with 5:1 gearbox. any suggestions or thoughts welcomed.

P.S. Is this now a "foamie"?

Paper Mache worked great for gun and pilot. Now for a maiden flight...
