Joe,
10:00 A.M. or as early as you can get Wayne to come.
By the way you picked the best month to come out and house hunt Sweaty. This the only month that we can't say its a dry heat.

Nice!!!
I take it there are only elevons for pitch and roll, since there appear to be no spoilers. It should fly like a trainer.
If you sweep the wings the center of lift moves aft and the rolling moment of inertia goes way down so the elevons will get real touchy in roll and heavy in pitch, just like the real one.
Keep us posted.

I must say Wayne has done a excellent job. This plane has a operating hatch with lock, it has a operating tail hook,speed brake,wing sweep,gear doors,lights,and just a huge amount of detail. Not counting the 6 fuel tanks along with 2 uats
and 2 sets of everything for the motors. Batteries, ecu, pumps, ect. I just wanted to let everyone know how much is going on under that hood. I consider this a huge accomplishment. Now enough bragging on Wayne lets go fly the darn thing.
