Decking her out as the NASA test bird?...

I don't think so, but something inspired by it.
My art skills are not amazing
Maybe not. But your building skills and perseverance are a model.

I can't even imagine myself flying an RC plane at 100 mph let alone 185. That takes some grit for sure, and some skill, and preferably a much larger flying field than the desert lot across my street. I haven't tried to measure it and I'm not good at gauging by eye, but I highly doubt my little delta tops out at much more than 60 mph, at its a handful on anything near full throttle in the space I have to fly it.

Coming along...
Inspired by the NASA colour scheme.
Tested the 6S in it......... wow is the word, this bird is not going to be short of thrust.

@CarolineTyler - Bungy launch?

Should not need it, this thing had super power. Just a hefty throw

Right, apart from lettering on the vertical stab, it's done. Not in anyway a copy of the NASA livery but nice enough.

Darn..... decided to spray the jet nozzle black. Thought I had masked it fully but the wind thought otherwise and now the right wing has black overspray
So, removed the pinstripes, will respray the right wing white and then re-apply the pinstripes.
Still, the nozzle looks good!!!!! Lol

Can't wait for the maiden
!

It certainly wants to climb vertically, I think this will be an awesome maiden. Assuming I don't crash it 😄
I may let super pilot John maiden it, that way it will get one good flight and I will be able to video it better!!!
Weather forecast for this coming weekend is not great....I'm hoping it's wrong and it is as amazing as Saturday just gone.
Pretty picture taken at the flying field...

You have 2 batteries? Be awesome to see you take it up after the maiden.

Currently, no, only the one battery.....cost is sooo much!

I can’t wait . @CarolineTyler can you maybe charge the battery at the field and then give it a shoot?

If there is time I will. I only have a 50watt charger which definitely won't support 6S at 3.3 amps , max about 2.2 amps.I can’t wait
