Default RE: Anyone have a maiden flight like this.

You know one of the true keys to fast building is ...LOTS OF BENCH TOP !
When you can be working on the wings, fuse and tail at the same time it gives a tremendous advantage..I have trouble with super glue fumes..but those that don't can go like heck !
Also constant chord wings can be kocked out like crazy. Since this plane had flying wires for support that means even less internal wing parts..that is if its like my 1/3 pup is inside the wings... personally I would never build a wing that needed wires to hold it together, I would rather have a strong D tube box built in wing, and have the wires for looks and extra strength...

it would take me a week to cover and paint that monster...
