Default ESM 50cc Spitfire rework

I've just started a rework of this popular ARTF, it is going to look a bit like the silver Dutch one below eventually. Power will be a DL55 gasser. Up to now, it has been stripped, the fretted sheeting replaced, the wng servo mounts removed and fully internal linkages fitted for the ailerons and scale linkages for the flaps installed. The ailerons have been sheeted too, after being sanded down by the thickness of 2 sheets. The aileron, elevator and rudder hinge lines are shrouded with glass strips at the factory, a nice touch, I know not scale for the ailerons but a nice touch non the less.

Ian.
