I got the chance to fly the mojo this weekend at the Nashville pro bro fly in, and bought a kit while I was there on Saturday. I decided not to waste anytime getting started and started the plane today. (Sunday) I will post some pics of what I have completed, and offer my thoughts on the build. I have built 4 of Paul's burrito kits so I have experience with his type of construction. So here goes. Here is where you start with these kits building the motor mount, and fuse boom. You also have to build the center rib assembly.

Here is some more of the construction pics. After building the boom/ motor mout, and center rib you get started on the wing. This also shows the boom slid through the center rib. This looks hard to build but is really very simple.

Here the wing is nearing completion, and at the end pic it is rough framed. It will still need the tip plates, and the hatches cut out. Also included is a pic of the framed fuse.

This will conclude my building for today. I didn't get to work on it as much as I had wanted but I still got quite a bit finished. Here is the completed fuse, ailerons, and the wing minus cutting the hatches. Hopefully tomorrow I can build the stab, elevator, and rudder. After that it will be finish sanding time.
As you can see construction is straight forward, and it is an easy plane to build in my opinion. I know that by flying Paul's this weekend it should fly great as well. I really like a plane that will knife edge well, and this one is good at it with very little if any coupling. Harriers, were rock solid both upright, and inverted, and it hovered very easily. So needless to say I am anxious to finish this plane.

Looks like you had a productive day!
Wish I could have made it to Nashville, but my work has been keeping me on the road. Just got back from a week in California, and head out in the morning for a week in Vegas. I'm sure Vegas will be mild compared to the Nashville Pro Bro.

I wish I could have stayed in Nashville for Sunday too, but I have to work on Sunday's. But I like having Friday off. If anybody has any idea's for how to cover this thing I would gladly welcome them. Right now I am thinking about going with a Yak scheme?????

Day 2
I got started this morning before work, and was able to build the rudder, stab, and elevator. The machine cut parts really speed up the time it takes here.

Had a long lunch break today so was able to final sand the plane, cut hatches, cut servo holes, and build the hatches.
I also taped it together to admire my work so far, and also show off what the plane will look like. I always like to see a plane in the bones. It's kind of Sexy!
I am going to dig through my scrap covering to see what I can come up with. Now back to the dreaded daily grind!
Hey Capthis,thats a good looking bird. giterdon so we can get your flite report. Again Paul has done an outstanding job on this plane from the looks of it
