Default RE: Baby classic pattern planes are here!

Don informed me that my BTM was shipped to me on Monday. I expect it to arrive today (USPS delays due to volume.. no big deal other than my being anxious.. )

I've started a build thread in the Beginners forum where I am also an RCU Mod. The reason for it in that forum is because, as far as I am concerned, I'm a novice when it comes to this sort of build.. foam wings and so on, and I thought other beginners may benefit by such a thread.

Anyway, I've had lots of help and suggestions as I go through the planning stages of the build process, such as, so far, electric power is what it's going to be. Not that I have anything against glow, but I have a small collection of electric motors and ESC's that I need to find homes for and the BTM seemed like as good a home as anything else I can think of.

Anyway, I will get it today and then the fun begins.

Don, I noted in your post above about the wing assembly and sheeting, is there a spar in that wing or is the sheeting strong enough? (I did say I was a novice at this.. ). Just curious, as I've not seen the build instructions yet.
