Flyin blind,

She flies wonderful.

To be honest with you she is my hanger queen..

I have had her built for over two years and only have about 12 flights on her.

But she is going flying tomorrow (saturday) if I can shake this cold.

We are expecting a low of 40-45 and a high tomorrow of about 70.

Darn, this is why we live in Arizona!! No snow to shovel and we can feel our fingers after 10-20 minutes of flying (of course after 10:00 am when it heats up enough to take the gloves off and fly)

If you look real close to the top of the fuze (behind the "Cockpit") you will see where I mounted my remote glow. It would have been nuts trying to unlock the glow from an engine mounted 45degrees down towards the ground. Nope, not for me.

I also used Robart Fuelers in lieu of fuel dots, as I thought they looked cool. And it does something to the look of the plane.

To add to the look of the plane, I gave a friend of mine a piece of the monocoat and the aluminum gear and spinner and he had them anodized for me. I dont worry about burning off the anodizing when starting her.

The only change I made was to change from a single screw to a double screw mount for the wings.

Good luck in your build, and let us all know how she flies when you finish her.....
