Status: offline 		No problem. I have helped setup E-commerce sites for a few people on low budgets and it can be fun to get everything working right. I'm looking forward to getting the parts even though it just made my build time a lot longer on this plane. I figured I'd do it right once I started ripping the covering off.

Status: offline 		I've got a buddy who gives me scrap oak from his custom cabinet making. Nice clean and strong stuff. I still need to make the rails but I have the cutouts for the wheels to fit in. I need to buy servos yet too but they can wait for a bit yet. Right now I'm just focusing on getting the parts glassed and the whole plane ready for paint.

Status: offline 		My Hellcat has been on hold for the last two months. Just order everything Luke is selling. Now I can finish working on it. I still need to make new tall surfaces ,flaps and glass everything. The wing has been cut down to 64" with a new trailing edge installed.

Status: offline 		I started fitting the bottom wing fairing. The aft edge had to be sanded down to get a good fit. The fairing fits good at the leading edge, but the trailing edge has a quarter inch gap that need to be filled. I'm sure this is due to the fact the wing has been cut down. Final fitting of the fairing will be done after the wing has been glassed.

Status: offline 		There are few posts further back,about others results. I used a SPE 26cc in mine, stock plane no serious mods around 13 1/2 lbs and it took off and flew no problem,but my C.G was off and it crashed on the maiden but I bought another one and all of Lukes great parts to go with it.with that great big cowl you can fit just about anything.
