@Wildthing Thanks for all the photos. Even Noobies building slabside designs can learn more about the direction they want to migrate towards as skills improve. Your posts are very helpful & inspiring, seeding new ideas.

6 years ago I never flown or scratch built a plane mind you design one, all this info I obtained is through the people all around us here on these forums. Huge wealth of information right at your finger tips and if you get stuck just ask and you will receive more then enough help.

Control surfaces are covered and hinged, getting better, not as many wrinkles 
. The vertical and horizontal will be covered next but only the rough portion that won't be covered up by the fuse and then the control surfaces can be glued on.
Also glued on a couple pieces of foam that I can sand down to basically act as a former for the FB around the wing rather then having gaps. Once the fuse is done and on then I will install the wings and trace out the cuto outs.

It's starting to come together .
That looks slick!!Fuse is complete, test fitted the canopy and it's not to bad. I have to add a couple little foam wedges to fill in a little gap at the base of it. Wings are fitted , it is starting to look like a plane.

That looks awesome! And no offense meant here, but it looks like a skywing laser, and an extra 300 was mashed together! https://northwestrc.com/SW--V2-101-Laser-260--BlueGreenWhite-KQ-Scheme_p_2507.html

I was going to invite you to do the maiden but after your last maiden I am not so sure anymore
. if it flies good or even at all I will be happy. If it performs good for 3D I will be even happier but even if it flies like crap I have fun doing this.
I have 2 of these motors so tomorrow I am going to go pick up some props and get the thrust stand out and see what I can come up with . It is suppose to handle up to 6S and deliver 1600 watts of power so we will soon find out.
