I go by Tee Bee there as well. Just haven't been active there for some time, especially since getting into RC. Used to participate a lot and knew lots of the rexers. Went to the national rally in ES in '05. Mine's been mothballed for about a year with some problems. Hope to get her running soon. Also have a Harley and a dual sport. Since getting into RC planes, my bikes have been getting lots of balsa dust on them.

Now back to your build thread.

OK I promised pics, so heres what I have after about 12 hours of work. The stabs and control surfaces arent sanded down yet and I had to quit working on the wing tonight before I threw it against the wall. First build and I have already broken about 10 pieces before I even got em on the plane.


Begining of the wing






Done for the night









OK guys so thats it, First build jitters are definately gone.
