Default RE: GRYPHON - build thread (sports/trainer 2m composite jet)

In my opinion it is certainly comparable to the CARF, this is my view however and whilst its not easy to make a straight comparison I tend to have fairly high expectations on these sorts of things (ask my friends) and I'm impressed with this Gryphon from what I have seen so far.

Dry assembly went fine, pics follow, only one item to 'adjust' and that's the stab carbon tube is slightly too long to allow the stabs to push fully home - guess its better than too short

I'm fitting a B100F in this, more power than needed but wanted to test this lovely turbine too so a little power management and all will be be fine.

Not sure he knows it yet but Ali Machinchy will have the pleasure in checking it out fairly soon.
