Well - Believe it or not everyone - it's 99% complete

Hi Jim J - That is a pretty cool kit bash of the racer. I really like how you formed the top air intake. Let me know how it fly's with the gasser in it.

Thanks Scale Dreamer - Glad you've enjoyed this thread, I've had a lot of fun doing this build. I think you should be able to do something similar with the 40. The real AirTractor has some dihedral in the wings so I left it all in mine as well. I knew I was adding weight and I didn't want to take the chance of it getting to squirrelly. I also left the wing full length because I wanted all the lift I could get. This is for flying scale, not 3D, although I've seen the cropdusters do some pretty amazing aerobatics at times

We've all been wondering and asking about the final weight - well according to my new digital fish scale it came in at 15 lbs 4 oz's. Which is 3 lbs over.

The reason I say it's 99% complete is I have to do the permanent Rx install and CG. Hopefully I can move things around to accomplish that.
I also need to come up with some cool final graphics and numbers that will fit, and be worthy of the slurry bomber role
