Default DYNAMO aerobatic trainer / advanced fun model build thread

I just received the DYNAMO kits from Italy and I will be building one. I thought I would start a build thread on it.

The Dynamo is designed and built entirely by ARG in Italy to provide a good quality, full composite aerobatic jet trainer.
It is also very agile and a good advanced every day fun model. It is fully short grass field capable.

The fibreglass and wood are of very high quality and the formers are glued accurately and with proper glue joints, typical of European manufacturers.

Special attention was made to the flying surfaces profiles and composite construction.
The jet is very light, with a low wing loading of just 170 gr/dm2, that allows a takeoff from asphalt and from grass within 30 meters (100ft).

The Dynamo is designed to use 80~100N platforms.

The Dynamo is the perfect choice to become part of this wonderful world of RC Jet flying.

Technical Characteristics:

Wing Span: 1,999 mm (79")
Wing Span with Winglets (included in the kit at no extra charge): 2,340 mm (92")
Length: 2,180 mm (86")
Wing Area: 56.1 dm2 (without winglets) – 63.3 dm2 (with winglets)
Empty weight: 9.3 Kgs (20.5lbs) dry
Flying weight: 11Kgs (24lbs)
Wing Loading: 170 Gr/dm2 (with winglets)
Suggested Turbine: Min 60 N – Max 100 N
Speed range: from 30 Km/h to max 250 Km/h

I will be using the Merlin 100. I have also made 3 retract sets for it, one based on Behotec C36/2 Air, C36/2 Electric or Electron ER40

Here are a couple of pictures.
Will start the build this weekend and update as I go along.
