My version of a Skydrill
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.

NO-NO, that's gorgeous! You will have a great plane when you are done.
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.

RE: My version of a Skydrill
Thanks for the compliments...
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.

Your work is really good and your weight, I believe is just fine at this stage.
Keep up the good work!

Howdie Gents.NO No I like what you did to the skydrill. My Rattle came out at the same weight and with a AP .o61 on her she flew real nice. Your norvel should pull even harder. hkbii.

RE: My version of a Skydrill
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.
