I got these plans from a guy at the field (I was raving about my 20 year old Senior and how it's never been crashed and he offered them up).
I had planned to go electric, but I'm building this one for my dad and He wanted nitro. I did some research and picked up a Big Mig .074 from
www.nvengines.com. This engine is awesome...I can't wait to run it...it's just a really cool little piece of engineering.
Anyway...here are some pics of the build:
My boy and I hamming it up:
Setting dihedral:
Sheeting:
Done and ready for sanding:
I'm building from the plans and my limited building experience. So far all is well...I'm sure I've messed some stuff up, but nothing critical. I can't wait to get this in the air. The Norvel engine really has me stoked...and I'll be building more 1/2A planes now that I know there is a quality power option that's NOT electric (no offense, I have many electrics, but I do love nitro more
).
