Default My Byron CAP-21 mods

Hi everybody. I thought I would share some pics of the mods I've done on this plane. I've had it since May 2004. I picked it up at a swap meet from one of my best buddies (he had it from an estate). I got the already built fuse, and the rest of the kit for $30 (like I said, a good friend). I wanted to make it 3-Dish, even though I've read about the snapping habits of the plane. I am going to power it with a 45cc Homey, that will put out 22-25 pounds of thrust. My AUW should stay in the 15 pound realm. I should at least be able to hover the thing, I would think. It is sheeted with 1/16th balsa. I added about 2 pounds doing this with poly glue.
