Default RE: Dynaflite SE5a Kit

Well mine is almost done. I covered it with BalsaRite and Polyester cloth. Coated and recoated and recoated etc etc etc with clear then flat olive drab. I am powering it with an ASP 80, will see how that works out. Its a very very light model, I havent put it on a scale yet but I also have a CG Ultimate that outwieghs it by quite a bit. Well we will see. I am going to put the finishing touches on it in the next few days and will post pictures. Hopefully not crash pictures.

By the way, the wing struts are way to tall, not much I could do about them as I had already glued in the pockets in the fuse. They set the angle, with the angle set I had no choice on reaching the mounts in the upper wing. Wish I would have thought about it sooner. Looks kind of silly with such a high top wing. And yes, I did do some research. its way to high. But I am guessing they did this to improve flight.
