Currently building the cessna 206 by wendell hostetler,3 m (or 120" ) wingspan.
Fuselage is ready(not perfect but not so bad it wont fly,first plane i ever buid completely).
i have already purchased a ZDZ50NG(second hand but will do just fine with its 5 hp )to power the plane.
Plane is equiped with 2 trap doors,1 small and 1 large(yes,one normal sized skydiver and my juniorjumper go inside the fuselage because i like the realism of that).
Had a problem with building the wings(biggest problem is me having not enough patience)so will have to make them again,this time i am cutting them out of EPS foam(just finished building a foamcutting device 5 minutes ago  )
I will be sooooo happy when the plane is finished and i can finally begin to concentrate on building and developing rc skydivers(have some great plans!!)since the airplane building part does not really interest me...
Check out the following link,this is the plane i really want and will buy when i have saved enough money.

Pilatus porter,3.20m wingspan ARF(has emotional value for me since i have about 30 "real" skydives out of that plane.)
At the moment i am still flying the IHL junior jumper(i get it up with my robbe piper cub,1.80m wingspan and 6.5cc thunder tigre engine) simply because nobody in my club has a plane large enough to lift the TV products skydver i am planning to buy.Already received the pricelist from TV and i hope to be able to make my order once the holidays are over...
Can i take part of the competition with my junior jumper too?
i already checked out the rc skydiving site from Pieter,looks great!!!!!!!
hope to see you(in belgium) shortly!!!!!!!
And now i am gooing to try to upload some pictures of the cessna etc. into my aircraft gallery....
Remember :the pictures are taking a while ago,had more work on it then is left now,also remember i NEVER said the plane is build perfectly  !!!!Wings attached to it where the bad ones are in the trashcan now.Also you see the door opening under the right wing,made that because the cessna 206 i used to jump out of at skydive malle had that too....(small detail,because i had cut out the hole fot that door BEFORE i attached the tail part to the fusleage part my tail is positioned left of the centre line of the plane,its not a disaster but it doesn't look good) .
Will also try to put pictures of an other big lift i have(got it with the ZDZ50 engine)0 and my junior skydiver and piper cub.
Greetings and blue skies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
