Status: offline 		Hi, i start 2 jears ago with model rc flying.
I first build a DNU and a Blink (Thanks for the plans PTUlmer, both really good planes)
And now started with the Skydrill.

But to get some building experience ,I try to build it a little bit more round.

Its weight is now, only the wood, 160 Gram (5.6oz), i hope it not gone be to heavy?

There will be a .061 Norvel motor on it.

There was a 90 year old man named NO-NO who lived just on the other side of the right field fence at our local baseball field [when a was a kid]. His old wood shingle roof was so rotten that homerun balls would just go right through it and disappear into his attic. He heated his house with wood and once in awhile you would see him dragging a limb or a small tree down the street, back to his house.

Keep up the good work!

LMAO! -Now what does that have to do with that gorgeous airplane? Got a chuckle out of me anyway...

Oke, because all complete (without the cover) if think it gone be 340 gram (12oz)
and then some small pieces.
So ik think its total weight will be 470 Gram (16.5 oz).


Its gone be grey & orange, and i think there will be some white & black things on it.
Today i did some covering on the body, and i am very happy with the tall .

Here the pics.

Status: offline 		Very nice work! I've been having lots of fun flying my Skydrill but yours makes mine look so, uh, ordinary. Keep it up. My all-up weight was 11.75 oz but yours is built like a tank and should be more durable. Can't wait to hear how it flies.
