Next I bent the landing gear wire best I could to the shape on the plan and assembled the box it fits in. Then I glued it and the forward brace for it into the fuselage.

Next I glued in the 9 gram servos. I installed an AR 6110 end pin Rx and BEC in the area in front of the servos. The 2S LiPo will go in ahead of the landing gear. Then I glued on the bottom wing.

Glue the R2 ribs in line with the fuselage sides. Cap the wing and fuselage bottom with the 1/16" X 3/4" balsa. I'm leaving the front open for now and will make a hatch for battery access. Trim the bottom sheeting to the fuselage sides and hinge the tail surfaces.

Mine is almost under powered with a PAW .03 but yours is going to be a rocket with the Tee Dee. You might ought to put the throttle on it before flying. I have a few extra throttle sleeves so if you need one just let me know.

Looks great Hollis. Mine weighs just over 10 ounces with a throttled PAW .03. It flies great. Plenty of power but not enough to get in trouble. Thank Goodness!

Thanks for the compliments guys. That particular TD is no ball of fire; compression is a little low. I may swap out the cylinder and piston assembly.
Pond Skipper, That prop is marked 6X3, but I always experiment with different props to find one that best suits the plane. I know the bipe is going to want thrust rather than speed.
