I'm sorry to report that radio failure caused an early end-of-life for my Deception. Thinking about trying again over the winter. Learned a lot of things with the first one... should make a second build a little easier. The radio also took out my Ultimate biplane. That radio is now retired as well and has been replaced with a new Hitec Aurora 9 which recently completed a maiden flight in a new WM Intruder.

Well, construction of Deception number 2 is well underway. using foam cores this time. Wing halves and stab halves are skinned but not joined, and fuselage is framed. Will use the same landing gear from Deception number 1.
Still flying the Intruder when weather permits, and will use the Aurora 9 in the new Deception as well. For the record, the replacement Spektrum 7 from HH is continuing to work very well in a "Sonic" sport airplane. Will post some photos as the Deception build continues.
