The Falcon.
All solarfilm has been removed , balsa sheeted and fibreglassed. Bolt holes for attaching booms and stabs have had 3mm plywood 3cm diameter Circle plates reccessed into the structure to provide support for the bolts. All servos have been attached to cover that sits flush to the surfaces, see photos. Retracts have been fitted and trailing links with airpower wheel and brakes Pre cut out gear bays sheets and re cut to suit landing gear. The Gear Rails have triangle reinforced blocks glued in.

Engine Choice Jet CAT P-60 with 7 degrees downthrust mounted in a alluminium bracket attached to a 10mm x 10mm spruce wood beam screwed and glued to the Wing root former and the solid wood block at the end.
