Looks really good! You build fast!!

Thanks! The plane builds fast not me lol

I got a bit more progress done. Servos, sheeting, then final sand and covering!

That looks really good

That looks really good

Thanks!

That does look good. The parts seem to lock together like a jig saw puzzle. What is the thickness of the balsa the parts are cut from?

I have felt a sudden burst of motivation, and I hope to have the GLH ready to maiden on Sunday! I am going to get the fuse 100% ready to go tonight hopefully

@Turbojoe I printed your mount today!

 

[SquirrelTail]

I am a bit too tired to get more covering done. I've got all but one side tacked on and ready for shrinking

I love the sleek design of the GLH's. I'll have to order one up after Doug releases my dream kit.

It is perfect! I just need to clip off a couple of the pegs as I am not using a rudder(or nose gear 😜🤪)
