Default Dracon build

Sorry that I dont post build-alongs, but I get carried away building.

SGC kindly helped me to find a plan for "Dracon" and after buying a copy of the excellent "Tileprint", I started Dracon, when work hours permit. I started on the fuselage with the magic laser lights.

Nifty use of the laser light but I think you need a new phone.

I really like that design. Definitely keep us posted on the progress. I think the more people do build threads, the more new people will try their hand at building. That's the most crucial thing in the hobby today.

So, it's a David Boddington design? I did a quick search; looks like R/C Model Flyer sells a lot of his plans:

Cool design. Are you going to put a PAW in it? Keep us posted on the progress, I'd really like to see how it comes out.

That looks pretty cool. So the build planes in two countries China and UK. I used to get Silent Flight and RCM&E? from the UK, they seemed to all march to a different drumer, loved it. In the US it was all whatever was in RCM, which was controlled by the S Cal guys. Joe Bridie didn't ever cut a piece of balsa that RCM didn't cover.
