Ikon Beaver
my name is billy and i'm 16 years old, i have been flying for about 3 years now, this is my Ikon N'WST Dehavilland Beaver, it has a 96" wingspan, weighs 18 pounds, took me a whole year to build, has gone through one major crash( pilot error), but now it's flying again and better than before, power is a g-26, all equipment is hidden inside the cabin by means of a full custom cockpit, servos and rx are hidden in cargo boxxes and the tank, battery and throttle servo are hidden underneath the front cockpit, the kit was horible, if u know what ikon kits r like u know what i went through, i did a lot of re-engineering to make things function better, be more scale, cut out my own parts HAND CUT PARTS looked like the guy was drunk when he cut thrm out, replaced most sheeting in the kit, just s big hassle but well worth it in the end what do u guys think

RE: Ikon Beaver
Nice job, Billy! Bringing it back after the crash was a great experience, wasn't it? You stuck with it and it paid off! I think it's even more satisfying than the first flight. You don't sound much like an ordinary sixteen-year-old and hopefully you'll be amazing us when your an old vet at age 25. Congrats!
