1/6 Scale ABC Robin (Barnstormer?)

[Taildragger]

Just a little thread for build progress on a 1/6 Scale ABC Robin

I may have taildragger-ified it a little
Bigger tires, replaced the cylinder heads with turbo exhausts, and removable slats so i can be slow or sporty

Built the wing using the same construction method as ben's pt-17 and I ended up with a nice curved surface on the wing, It's light and feels plenty strong

For reference here is an XPS wing that weighs about 1.5 times as much (I think)

You can’t see it in the grass but there is landing gear now. I love the lines of this plane.
