Not much for build pics yet, but I do have these

I am trying to: 1) get a plane ready for NATS, and practice, and 2) make room in my tiny house for this big plane (selling my Wind).

I will meet with Bob P. within the next few days to talk about paint and preparation, and I ordered the aileron and rudder servos. I'm not sure if I'll get anything really started before mid June or not, but if I do, there will be pics for sure.

About the motor, well I am trying to build as light as I can. A new C50 comp is just a LOT of money. A Neu is more affordable and also would have a backup motor. There is a lot of data about the Pletty 25-12 but unfortunately not many people flying it.

If ~2oz in the motor is not a big deal, I would likely go with a Hacker A60 or a Himax F3A.
