Although it's "only" a display model it's a fantastic piece of work. I'm not in the category of one who has THAT much patience for perfection. Many any of us who build "could" do work to that standard but for a flying model??? I agree with Jeff F 100%.
Yeah..hooking up servoes and dropping in batteries is "hard stuff". I compete at TopGun and Scalemasters and I know what's required.
I'm not flaming anyone because I appreciate each and every model I see whether it's a flying model or not. What I don't care for though are supposedly flying models in static competion that the owner builder "won't" fly. Remeber Tom Pierce's award winning Dauntless. Sadly he lost it on it's first flight but good for him for trying.
If you're a museum builder so be it but please don't bring it to the WRAM show or Toledo without intending to fly it.
My 2 cents........Mitch
