Default RE: Diamond Dust Modified

the quality is alright..I just wish that all the ribs were the right length. I sort of got stalled when I came to the trailing edge . unfortunately I have somewhat lost interest in completeing it for now. the trailing edge stock 3/8' balsa is also slightly warped but nothing to difficult .

Hopefully I'll find some new inspiration to complete it, plus I got to find a way of making a cowl to enclose the engine and pipe ..since I've never done anything even as simple as a cowl it will be interesting as a first time project

my list of mods are
1) slightly clipped wing
2) enclosed engine & pipe
3) I'm moving the fins out board and canting them inwards
4) either 1.5 mm sheeting or 1mm and glassed( but I dont want to add to much weight so still debating the worth of glassing it)

I think that should do it for my first dust

....now where did I leave that inspiration lying around???
