Finally finished Herr Cloud Ranger
I finally finished a Cloud Ranger I started a couple of years ago. It took two days to build and two years to cover. It weighs 24 ozs and flies great with HS-55 servos and an O.S. .10FP.

I love it! Good job!
I ordered my Cloud Ranger last Friday and I hope it shows up tomarrow. (Monday) I too plan on using an OS .10.

LOL, Thanks! I thought about that when I was covering it and whenever I work on these things. I don't like covering, it seems like it takes so long to do little work. I don't see how they turn out such nice planes at the volume they do and I'm glad I don't have to do it all day long for a living.
The Cloud Ranger is a nice kit as others have said on here. This is the first plane I've built completely start to finish by myself. It makes a big difference when you build it and I don't fly it as hard as I do the others.

Exactly. I've gone through alot of airplanes, but I'll probably hang this one from the ceiling and fly it every once in a while, hopefully hand it down to the kids or grandkids someday. Same thing if I build a Scoundrel someday, that's a nice looking plane!

I agree, how can you be proud of something that you just bought off the rack? I go back prior to the BOM (builder of model) debate. It was assumed at one time that you were demonstrating your skill at building AND flying. It was a minor scandal at the time when word leaked out that some of the big names (with big $$$$) were actually hiring someone else to build there planes for them! Of course this before ARFs.
