RE: Herr Cloud Ranger build.

I cant belive how small this engine is after being used to a Saito 100. I like! :) I have some hacking to do to get it to fit, no problem.

I can see myself building more 1/2A planes. :D

RE: Herr Cloud Ranger build.

RE: Herr Cloud Ranger build.

RE: Herr Cloud Ranger build.

I'm glad you posted some pics. Thatll make things alot easier for me like how to mount the wing. I hate rubber bands. I will be reducing the dihedral as you suggest.

Thanks.
