RE: $5 airplane
The plane is finally complete. I added a spinner, popped in a spare receiver, check all the servos, re-plumbed the fuel system and ran the engine. Everything seems to be A-OK.
I don't think it turned out half bad considering what it was like when I first saw it. I could have done a little more with the covering such as the shark's mouth and some letters/numbers but I was running out of time and I didn't want to spend any money that I couldn't get back when the plane is sold. There is a total of just over $20 in it right now.
This should make somebody a nice little sport airplane.<br type="_moz" />
