Default RE: Mick Reeves Hunter

Well, that's all I've done for now. I would post more frequent updates if I could use the forum directly from my phone (ie Tapify!) , but It's a bit of a faff to get the laptop out, transfer the photos etc etc.

...next job is probably to get the tank all plumbed in and the radio wired up. Then I'll mount the turbine and possibly take it over the field to fire it up!

Then its just a case of getting the wing mounting all lined up and close off the remaining open bit on the bottom of the wing and that's most of the 'building' phase complete - the remaining work (which is still a lot!) is sanding/glassing/painting + detail work on cockpit, gun blisters, airbrake etc etc.

I weighed everything and my best guess at the moment is for a dry weight of 25lbs - bit more than some people have built, but not so heavy to be a concern.
