Hi all,

I'd like to post pics from this Dirty Birdy 60 build. Started with the wing tonight. I want to push this through quickly. Doing a build thread always gives me motivation to keep up the progress.

It is an all-wood Blue Jay kit that I got from the LHS. I was so surprised that they had it that I bought it on the spot. They mostly have ARFs at the LHS.

I'm going with fixed gear, nosewheel.

I'll be using a brand new OS .61 FX that I bought as a spare for the Curare. I've seen the other threads discussing the nose heavy issues so I'll do a center tank and aft servos.

I have every intention to use this as a contest bird and compete in novice this year. I hope it works out. I'm ready to burn some vacation and I bought a slide-in camper for my truck. Now all I have to do is follow through.

Mitch
