Default RE: Matchless' Burrito build......

Thanks Sloan!


After work, I spent the next hour and a half puttin' a new alternator in my wife's Saturn.


When I got back from the test drive, I tore into the Burrito again. Tonite I mounted the tailwheel and main gear/wheels, the fuel tank, the tail pushrods and finished the hatches.

I put it on my scale and the weight came out at a hair over 4 lbs (4lbs .4ozs) This was with a honkin big 1000mah 5 cell nicad battery (needed to get it balanced per the plan)

All I have left to do is to mount the switch, and the aileron and throttle pushrods.

Oh yeah.... Tonite 1 hour 45 mins.

Total Time: 11hours 45mins

I think Vref and I may maiden both our birds on Saturday morning......

Here's a couple of pics.
