Default RE: Wie ein Floh..Aber Oho! ME163

Thanks Guys!

Ordering was pretty simple using the Sunshine Checkout Cart in a split screen with Google translation up in another

I ordered 2 kits and they arrived extremely well packaged and shipping seemed reasonable.

The directions while very minimal are adequate for someone who has built before.

I believe the owner runs the company with his wife, so as a small operation it takes a couple of days to get a email reply.

The glass work is very nice and light, wing panels presheeted, and a complete wood/misc. parts bag.

Pretty much built as the manufacturer intended except I built up some carbon on balsa "I" beam spars morticed well into the wing panels, with a carbon cap strip top and bottom - call me paranoid.

While I was waiting for the package to arrive, I started making molds for the carbon 9x10 props.

She has not flown but the engine has received extensive bench time sorting out the pipe/ header length, and various prop profiles.

A few more details to complete but this weekend looks promising.
