Status: offline 		OMG! Did that man actually cut those ribs out himself?
Are we living in the Dark Ages here?
I'm appalled, bothered, bewildered, and transmogrified.
Don't you have a laser cutter?

But it does look intriguing doesn't it?
I'm voting for a TD .020 powered, four-channel, semi-pattern product.

"I'm voting for a TD .020 powered, four-channel, semi-pattern product. " I have one of those in the mist.

Status: offline 		Naw, not retracts. The two little holes indicate torgued, "L" shaped wire LG that sits in a groove like the 'real' low-wing models. Trust me. I'm never wrong.

Ray, I know you're never wrong, just less right than others sometimes

Status: offline 		Aren't tapered wings pretty?

Low wing, tail dragger. I change my guess to Sure Start.

Red servo, yellow arm, green heat shrink. Is some 'tween wars colour scheme planned?
