Well I almost have everything I need to start building. Finally got all my wood, carbon fiber strips and tubes. I am using the HET 6904 fan. I will use the HET 75a ESC that come with the motor fan combo, half the weight as the CC ice 100. My landing gear should be here this week, using the E-Flight 60-120 and will try and make my own struts to fit the small confines in the wing. Servos are here and I just need to get some Sig glue for planking, once it get going there is no stopping so I want everything here before I start.

I still haven't decided on covering yet. I want to keep her as light as possible. Mylar would be the easiest and lightest. But I haven't ruled out glassing and painting. It is hard in the confines of a small apartment, but I am considering using an air brush and using acrylic paint with no over spray and fumes, it is possible.

Things like gear doors will be decided during construction, do them or not! I am also toying with a sliding canopy, not sure there's room for a cockpit thought.

I should start building next week and I'm shooting for a March maiden.
