Thanks Ladd!


The King Air is coming along nicely. We'll be using a similar hinging process on it, for the ailerons, elevator, and rudder, because that's how the actual aircraft is hinged. I just received a new balsa order, and so you'll start to see almost daily updates again, at http://www.nextcraft.com/b200_construction02.html

On my personal version, I've decided to use electric power. (I don't think Paul has selected his engines yet.) Since the entire airframe will be molded composites, adapting it for either glow or electric is a simple matter of altering the weight of the composites and changing a few internal parts. I've created a new article which will show the twin electric power selection and setup process, at http://www.nextcraft.com/electric_intro.html

Thanks to Paul's artistry, this kit will really be awesome. We'll make kits available at the end of the testing process next spring. Part of the design process includes organizing the parts so that this 1/6th scale beauty can be sent in standard size boxes, thus avoiding "oversize" charges.

I've attached a recent image of the progress on the plugs.
