SV,

that will be a pain. I think it is doable from a tablet but don't know how to do it from my phone either. What I do is a either email or "share" the photos from my phone to the cloud and then retrieve them from the cloud on my computer and post them there. Much easier and you have a keyboard and mouse to control the photo uploads. On the other classic forum this is even more useful as you can actually annotate your photo uploads. As far as I can tell, this is not possible with the current photo implementation on RCU.

Looking forward to your build!

P.S. For what it's worth, you might find the attachment below of some interest. It is basically my re-design of the Tipo 720 "classic" (in reduced scale but that is of no consequence) to facilitate the alignment of the tail section (one of the trickiest parts of a either a glass or wood Tipo build). Note the small differences in how the vertical is built up as well using a level base for the frame up. This permits the fin to be "built in" to the fuse and the stab subsequently inserted once the fuse is framed up. The original design makes this difficult and requires the stab to be inserted before one can built up the vertical. The fuse is also built with a stressed skin deck (3/32" for a T60) rather than the lofty tristock and thick sheet carved balsa top and finally the front canopy section is made as an optional removable section (for e-power or easy tank access) carved from foam (or balsa if one prefers) and glassed. Also note the use of split level radio and tank/battery trays for equipment mounting. For a glow build, this element could be glued and carved in place. All said and done, the resulting T60 would likely weigh a full pound less - about 7.5 lbs instead of 8.5 lbs.
