The Etude is a very straight forward build. BJ puts together a pretty complete kit (ARF). I’ll do a little bit of build, don’t expect much.
I had everything I needed build and ready to go before the Etude arrived. Included is a picture of the motor (Hacker Q80-13) mount installed. A little fine tuned grinding to do to the nose ring. It is the same as I used on my Nuance. When checking the Elevators Stabs for alignment and incident I found the incident was off by .48 degrees. Not much but I zeroed it out anyway.
I’m ready to wire the plane up tomorrow with the electrical components. This is going really fast.
