A coworker of mine, that knows im into planes, gave me this old kit his parents got for him when he was a kid and never built. Looked like a nice entry into balsa building as the wing is solid foam so i started working on it. Going to try and get it going as fast as i can with the motors and stuff i have and assuming it survives maiden maybe purchase some thing more powerful to upgrade later.
Thin ca for most of the fuselage build so far, with some titebond here and there. Wings sheeted with gorilla glue.
Starting this crazy puzzle of parts.
Trailer edge attached and taping skins together to get ready for vacuum bagging
Puzzle continues
Tail feathers joined
Wings out of the vacuum bags, needs trimming
Leading edge going on
Aileron control rods
Wing tips getting glued together before attaching and sanding
