Default dust

Completing the dust with radio gear and engine is even easier than framing it which is ridiculously easy. I did make a hatch to cover the radio gear(cut it out of ply using sissors). This lets you cover with nothing in the way at all. Pop in three servos takes five minutes, reciever and battery go right in the rear with foam, engine bolts on in five minutes(four blind nuts easily accessable), tuned pipe has one screw, and the linkages take maybe ten minutes if you count putting the control horns on too, and the tank i put in with velcro. The most time consuming step is putting on the balsarite and glassing the engine mount(which some tell you not to do).
I have been waiting for my whiplash for a while (due next week i understand). I will compare the construction for those interested.I also have an outlaw to build. Now it looks like a handful as i posted in that section. I bet i could build ten dusts in the time it takes to make it.
