Default scale microlight

http://s994.photobucket.com/user/mar...c%20microlight

hi guys heres my rc microlight,
Controls are exactly as the real ones via weightshift.
it was totally scratch built from aluminum square section tube, fibreglass spars, ripstop nylon and machined titanium brackets.

Ive recently learnt to use a sewing machine and am making the new sail,
The old sail was taped and glued for testing, so the new one should be lighter aswell as stronger and better looking
