Thanks!😂 Hoping to do a video on how I built it and the maiden! (I have a few videos stacking up, but I am waiting for a graphics card to come in so I can actually process the file without my computer locking up...It doesn't like 5.3k in a H265 code format!😂)

 

[Houndpup Rc]

It’s looking sweet!

Thanks! I got a LOT of old arrows so it should be strong enough when I am done! Also for the spar I have just ended up using a old curtain rod.

But now a gotta get more foam...I forgot to cut out the other wing...

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Gotta say its pretty conservative on foam, it only takes 7-8 sheets!

First he has to finish his Super Scout so I can bean it with my Mega Radjet! 😂

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Also cutting and building are more my strong point where painting is something he does better...

Yeah! 😂 😂

So far the fuselage is about 6" in diameter...I will maiden with the 14x6 prop and if that goes well, then I will try 10x10! (And probably do a speed run)

It has gotten so bad here that I order a case or two online then pick it up when I get an email that it is ready.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that but it doesn't come in until October 1st....And they said they just had a shipment, but it is still buried in the back room...
